Özet:

 Numerous studies have examined the comparative effectiveness of libraries and other study environments for university students. The literature reveals that many students underutilize library resources, those with visual impairments face accessibility challenges, and overall library designs often fall short of meeting student needs, highlighting a need for improvement in library effectiveness. This study investigates the impact of different study environments on the focus and productivity levels of medical students, aiming to assess the influence of these environments on their academic success. The study specifically examines the effects of quiet study environments, individual versus group study habits, and the role of library resource utilization on motivation. Surveys and statistical analyses were employed to assess participants focus and productivity levels. Results indicate that quiet and individual study environments are perceived as the most productive by medical students. A strong positive correlation was found between focus levels in quiet environments and individual study performance r  0.442. This finding supports the crucial role of quiet environments in enhancing student focus and, consequently, academic performance. While group study demonstrated a positive correlation with motivation due to social interaction r0.273, it was associated with lower productivity levels compared to individual study. Study comfort also positively influenced individual study productivity r0.266. Interestingly, students who socialized more in the library reported increased breaks and higher instances of drowsiness at home r0.318, while drowsiness in the library correlated with increased break frequency r0.239. The distance of the library from home negatively impacted both comfort levels and the willingness to utilize the library r0.223. Finally, students who exhibited better focus in quiet settings demonstrated statistically significant higher productivity, motivation, and a preference for studying during earlier hours p0.05. This study underscores the significant impact of study environment preferences and study habits on academic success, highlighting the importance of quiet, individual study environments and student comfort in optimizing learning outcomes. The findings suggest that promoting quiet study environments and individual study habits could significantly enhance the academic performance of medical students.

 Üniversite öğrencileri için kütüphane ve diğer çalışma alanlarının verimliliğini karşılaştırmayı amaçlayan, literatürde birçok çalışma yer almaktadır. Üniversite öğrencilerinin, kütüphane kaynaklarından yeterince faydalanamaması, görme yetersizliği olan öğrencilerin erişilebilir kaynaklara ulaşmakta güçlük çekmesi ve genel olarak kütüphane tasarımlarının ihtiyaçları karşılama konusunda yetersiz kalması, kütüphanelerin verimliliğini artırmak için iyileştirme gereksiniminin olduğunu ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Bu çalışma, tıp fakültesi öğrencilerinin farklı çalışma ortamlarındaki odaklanma ve verimlilik düzeylerini inceleyerek, bu ortamların akademik başarılarına olan etkisini araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma, özellikle sessiz çalışma ortamları, bireysel ve grup çalışma alışkanlıklarının nasıl bir etkiye sahip olduğunu ve kütüphane gibi kaynakların kullanımının motivasyonu nasıl etkilediğini değerlendirmektedir. Araştırmada, katılımcıların odaklanma ve verimlilik düzeylerini değerlendirmek üzere anket ve analiz yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlar, sessiz ve bireysel çalışma ortamlarının tıp öğrencileri tarafından en verimli çalışma ortamları olarak algılandığını göstermektedir. Sessiz ortamlarda odaklanma düzeyi ile bireysel çalışma performansı arasında güçlü bir pozitif korelasyon bulunmuştur r  0.442. Bu bulgu, sessiz ortamların öğrencilerin odaklanmalarını ve dolayısıyla akademik performanslarını artırmada önemli bir rol oynadığını desteklemektedir. Grup çalışmaları, sosyal etkileşimin motivasyonu artırmasına rağmen, bireysel çalışmaya kıyasla daha düşük verimlilik seviyeleri ile ilişkilendirilmiştir. Ancak, grup çalışmasının sosyal etkileşim ve motivasyon üzerindeki olumlu etkisinin r0.273 göz ardı edilmemesi gerektiği vurgulanmıştır. Çalışma konforunun da öğrencilerin çalışma verimliliğini olumlu yönde etkilediği tespit edilmiştir r0.266. İlginç bir şekilde, kütüphanede daha fazla sosyalleşen öğrencilerin evde daha sık mola verdikleri ve uykuya daha yatkın oldukları r0.318 tespit edilmiştir. Kütüphanenin evden uzaklığı da, çalışma konforunu ve kütüphaneyi tercih etme isteğini olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir r0.223. Son olarak, sessiz ortamlarda iyi odaklanabilen öğrencilerin, bireysel çalışma verimliliği, motivasyon ve erken saatlerde çalışma gibi faktörlerde daha başarılı oldukları istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur p0.05. Bu çalışma, öğrencilerin çalışma alanı tercihlerinin ve çalışma tarzlarının akademik başarıları üzerinde önemli bir etkiye sahip olduğunu ve sessiz, bireysel çalışma ortamlarının ve çalışma konforunun öğrenme üzerindeki önemini vurgulamaktadır. Araştırmanın sonuçları, çalışma ortamlarının tıp fakültesi öğrencilerinin verimliliği üzerinde önemli bir etkiye sahip olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Sessiz ortamda çalışma ve bireysel çalışmaların teşvik edilmesi, tıp öğrencilerinin akademik başarılarını artırabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır.
