Pygmalion Effect:A Qualitative Researchon The Impressions of Academics

Abstract

The aim of the research is to reveal the impressions of academics about self-fulfilling prophecy in detail. The research was designed as phenomenology. The sample of the research consists of academicians working at Van Yüzüncü Yıl University and selected by the deliberate sampling technique. It is aimed that the research will contribute to the readers by revealing the details about the causes, processes or results of the formation of self-fulfilling prophecy among academics. The data in the study were collected through a semi-structured interview form and evaluated by qualitative content analysis method. The research findings were presented in the form of eight themes. The themes include performance and responsibility awareness, individual capacity, self-efficacy and performance-based merit, openness to learning and desire for self-improvement, unemployment and lack of purpose, nepotism (favoritism), desire to be an academic, the possibility of being spoiled and age variables. The most frequently found themes are performance and responsibility awareness, individual capacity, self-efficacy and performance-based merit, and the least frequently found theme is the desire to become an academic. Developing a holistic and in-depth understanding of the mechanism of expectancy effects on academic achievement will be possible through qualitative research. In this context, the findings from the research are expected to lead to the development of new methods and approaches to maximize the impact of interventions related to expectancy effects, thereby enhancing academic performance. It is thought that the research will contribute to the elucidation of the process regarding the effect. It is also hoped that the findings will contribute to the literature.

Öz

Araştırmanın amacı, akademisyenlerin kendini gerçekleştiren kehanete ilişkin izlenimlerini detayları ile ortaya koymaktır. Araştırmanın deseni olgu bilim olarak tasarlanmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini Van Yüzüncü Yıl Üniversitesinde çalışan ve kasıtlı örneklem tekniği ile seçilen akademisyenler oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın akademisyenler arasında kendini gerçekleştiren kehanetin oluşumuna dair sebep, süreç ya da sonuçlara ilişkin detayları ortaya çıkartarak okuyuculara katkı sağlaması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmadaki veriler yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ile toplanarak nitel içerik analiz yöntemi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma bulguları sekiz tema şeklinde ortaya konulmuştur. Bulgulanan temalar arasında; performans ve sorumluluk bilinci, bireysel kapasite öz yeterlilik ve performansa dayalı liyakat, öğrenmeye açık olma ve kendini geliştirme arzusu, işsizlik ve amaç noksanlığı, nepotizm (kayırmacılık), akademisyen olma arzusu, şımarma ihtimali ve yaş değişkenleri yer almaktadır. En fazla bulgulanan temalar performans ve sorumluluk bilinci ile bireysel kapasite öz yeterlilik ve performansa dayalı liyakat, en az bulgulanan tema ise akademisyen olma isteğidir. Beklenti etkilerinin akademik başarılar üzerindeki etkisine ait mekanizmaya dair bütüncül ve derinlemesine bir anlayış geliştirmek nitel araştırmalar yoluyla mümkün olabilecektir. Bu bağlamda araştırma kapsamında elde edilen bulguların akademik performansını iyileştirmek adına beklenti etkilerine ilişkin müdahalelerinin etkisini en üst düzeye çıkarma amacıyla yeni yöntem ve yollar bulunmasına olanak sağlayacağı öngörülmektedir. Araştırmanın etkiye dair sürecin aydınlatılmasına katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Ayrıca bulguların alan yazınına katkı sunacağı umulmaktadır.
