Investigation of the effect of training on the development of high school teachers’ attitudes towards scientific research and project competitions

Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to develop positive attitudes in high school teachers towards scientific research and project competitions by training them in scientific research and project preparation subjects. The study group consists of 90 high school teachers. As a result of the study, a significant difference was found in favor of post-test scores of high school teachers about their attitudes towards both scientific research and project competitions (p.05). On the other hand, a moderate, positive and significant correlation was determined between attitudes of high school teachers towards project competitions and scientific research as a result of the study (r = 0.319; p <.05).
