In this study, in which the quantitative research approach was adopted, we examined the relationship between the lifelong learning skills of preservice teachers and their game perceptions with the relational survey model. We used the descriptive survey model to investigate whether the preservice teachers' lifelong learning skills and game perceptions differ according to gender, grade level, number of books read, maternal/paternal education level and family income level. The sample consists of 1071 (Female: 823; Male: 248) preservice teachers who have studied at various universities in Turkey in the 2021-2022 academic year. We used the convenience sampling model in the choosing of relevant universities. In the data collection process of this study, we used two different measurement tools, 30 items “Lifelong Learning Skills Scale” and 20 items “Game Perception Scale. The results show that there is a significant difference between the function of the game, the level of interest/interest/discovery in the game and gender in favor of female. We found that preservice teachers' increased grade level, increased frequency of reading books, and higher levels of maternal education enhance their lifelong learning skills. We observed that a positive and meaningful relationship between preservice teachers‟ lifelong learning skills and play perceptions. We also found that preservice teachers with a high level of education and income of parents have high communication skills in a foreign language. On the contrary, we observed that preservice teachers with lower levels of income have higher gaming perceptions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
