Abstract

The aim of this research is to examine the life-wide learning habits of public education administrators in terms of various variables. In this study, the survey model was used to determine an existing situation. The research population consists of public education center administrators working throughout Turkey. The sample of the research consisted of 393 public education center administrators working in public education centers in the 2022–2023 academic year. The stratified sampling method was used to determine the sample representing 7 regions of Turkey. The data of the study were obtained using the “Life-wide Learning Habits Scale”. In the analysis process, descriptive statistics were calculated for the whole scale and subdimensions. Independent group t-test was performed to compare groups according to gender and marital status. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine whether the life-wide learning habits of administrators differ according to professional seniority and educational status. The Tukey test was used to identify from which groups the differences between the groups originated. According to the results of the research, life-wide learning habits of administrators were at a high level. The life-wide learning habits of administrators differed significantly according to gender, marital status, and professional experience. It was determined that there was no significant difference according to the education status of administrators.
