Özet

This study aims to investigate the factors affecting students' attitudes towards participation in a scientific study based on their viewpoints. Data has been collected via a survey, which aims to gather information about the socio-demographic information of the individuals, the characteristics of the researcher, the characteristics of the assessment tool and the psychological traits of the individual, from a total of 86 students attending at Ankara University Faculty of Educational Sciences in the 2009-2010 academic year. The findings of the study reveal that there may be a relation between some variables and the university students' attitudes towards participation in scientific studies. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
