Özet:

 This study mainly investigates the motivation sources of learners of Turkish as a foreign language TFL have across genders. For this aim, participants from Turkish language centres in Türkiye were recruited through convenience random sampling. Within the framework of the socio-educational model and self-determination theory, the participants were asked to complete a survey on motivation sources and problems. The results indicated no statistically significant difference in terms of motivation sources and problems. When items were examined separately, the highest mean of the leaners answers was in communication need. Communication with the community is one of the components of Gardners integrative motivation. This leads us to think that learners of Turkish as a foreign language mainly have integrative motivation. When the results were compared by gender, statistically significant difference was found in one item of motivation problems subdimension. Male participants were found to think language learning is an ability and females are much better on this issue. By examining the results of current study, suggestions are made in the last part of the paper to enhance the quality of learning.

 Bu çalışma yabancı dil olarak Türkçe öğrenenlerin motivasyon kaynaklarını ve cinsiyet bakımından oluşan farklılıkları incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaçla, katılımcılar Türkiyedeki Türkçe dil merkezlerinden amaca uygun tesadüfi örneklem yöntemiyle seçilmiştir. Katılımcılar çalışmada gönüllü olarak yer almaktadır. Sosyo-eğitimsel model ve öz belirleme teorisi çerçevesinde katılımcılardan motivasyon kaynakları ve sorunlarına yönelik bir anket doldurmaları istenmiştir. Sonuçlar, motivasyon kaynakları ve sorunları açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark olmadığını göstermiştir. Maddeler ayrı ayrı incelendiğinde, en yüksek ortalamaya sahip olan madde öğrencilerin iletişim kurma ihtiyacı olarak belirlenmiştir. Toplumla iletişim kurabilmek için o toplumun dilini öğrenmek Gardnerın bütünleştirici motivasyonun bileşenlerinden biridir. Bu durum, Türkçeyi yabancı dil olarak öğrenenlerin ağırlıklı olarak bütünleştirici motivasyona sahip olduklarını düşündürmektedir. Sonuçlar cinsiyete göre karşılaştırıldığında, motivasyon sorunları alt boyutunun bir maddesinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmuştur. Erkek katılımcıların dil öğrenmeyi bir yetenek olarak değerlendirdikleri ve kadınların bu konuda daha başarılı olduklarını düşündükleri belirlenmiştir. Mevcut çalışmanın sonuçları incelenerek, öğrenme kalitesini geliştirmek amacıyla makalenin son bölümünde önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
