Description:
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of the future time perception (connectedness, value, speed. extension and perceived instrumentality) and academic delay of gratification of the prospective teachers on their pedagogy courses achievements. For this purpose a model which shows the expected relations depending on the literature among the variables was developed to verify. Subjects consisted of 462 fourth year prospective teachers from Marmara University, Ataturk Faculty of Education. According to findings, pedagogy courses achievements were predicted by value directly, predicted by connectedness through academic delay of gratification and predicted by speed and perceived instrumentality directly and through academic delay of gratification. Extension didn’t have a significant power in predicting of pedagogy courses achievements. Accordingly, with respect to these findings, model was verified.
