The examination of uncertainty intolerance and learning attitudes of preteacher candidates

This study aimed to examine the relationship between uncertainty intolerance and learning attitudes in pre-teacher candidates. The research was conducted with the causal comparative method model. The study grup of the research were 122 pre-teacher candidates. "Sociodemographic Information Form", "Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale" and "Attitudes towards Learning Scale" were used as data collection tools in the research. The answers received from the pre-service from pre-teachers were made ready for data analysis by entering them into the statistics package program. Independent sample t-test and one-way ANOVA were used to compare the scores of uncertainty intolerance and attitudes towards learning in terms of sociodemographic variables. Pearson Correlation was applied to examine the relationship between uncertainty intolerance and attitudes toward learning. Based on the findings, no significant relationship was found between pre-teachers candidates' uncertainty intolerance scores and their attitudes to towards earning. The learning attitude scores of pre-teacher candidates without a history of COVID-19 were found as significantly higher. The research has shown that pre-teachers' attitudes towards learning was affected by COVID-19. It is thought that psychosocial and psychoeducational interventions for pre-teacher candidates can be structured within the scope of the findings.
