    'Am I aware of my roles as a learner?' the relationships of learner autonomy, self-direction and goal commitment to academic achievement among Turkish EFL learners
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Ozer, Omer; Yukselir, Ceyhun
    This study explores the relationships between learner autonomy (LA), self-directed learning (SDL), goal commitment (GC) and academic achievement in English and also examines the scores which Turkish EFL learners obtained on selected measures according to demographic variables. The participants were 248 English-major Turkish undergraduate students. A mixed-method, embedded design was chosen for this study. The participants completed the Autonomous Learning Scale, the Self-Directed Learning Scale, the Commitment Scale and three open-ended questions regarding their perceptions of LA and SDL in foreign-language learning. The results showed that LA, SDL and GC are all correlated with academic achievement and with each other, with the strongest correlation found between LA and SDL. The findings also revealed statistically significant relationships between Turkish EFL learners' LA scores and all the demographic variables. Furthermore, students' open-ended responses regarding LA and SDL failed to provide particular examples of how learners exercise control over their language learning. Most of the participants in the study were aware of autonomy and self-direction and had an understanding and perception of both LA and SDL. A major implication of this study is that language learners' autonomous learning within but more importantly beyond the classroom should be encouraged.

    Investigating the interplay between English language teachers' autonomy, well-being and efficacy
    (Western Australian Inst Educational Research Inc, 2022) Yukselir, Ceyhun; Ozer, Omer
    This study investigates the interplay between the concepts of teachers' autonomy, well-being and teacher efficacy by drawing on the perceptions of primary, secondary and high school English teachers working in private and state schools in Turkey. The overarching aim of this study is to investigate these three factors, as perceived by English teachers across school levels and types and thus to identify common experiences among them. The study employed a mixed-methods approach. Using open-ended questions and the scales of teachers' autonomy, well-being and teacher efficacy, the data were collected from 293 English teachers. This study found that autonomy is strongly correlated with teacher efficacy. The findings also show that the teachers' levels of autonomy in state schools were higher. Similarly, findings also indicate that the autonomy secondary school teachers experienced was higher than that of teachers working in primary schools. The study makes a contribution to the field by drawing conclusions about the interplay of these three factors.
