Özet:

 This study aims to examine childrens digital game addiction and spatial reasoning skills in terms of various variables and to determine the relationship between them. The participants of this descriptive and correlational study consist of 318 students from 4th and 5th grades attending primary and secondary schools in the central districts of Diyarbakır province, selected through a simple random sampling method. Data were collected using the Digital Game Addiction Scale for Children and the Spatial Reasoning Test. In the analysis of the data, an independent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficient were used. The study found that male students had significantly higher levels of digital game addiction and spatial orientation compared to female students, 5th-grade students had significantly higher levels of digital game addiction than 4th-grade students, and students attending private schools had significantly higher spatial reasoning skills compared to those in public schools. Furthermore, it was revealed that children of parents with higher education levels had lower digital game addiction and significantly higher spatial reasoning skills compared to children of parents with lower education levels. Additionally, it was found that students with generally lower mathematics grades had higher digital game addiction and lower spatial reasoning skills compared to students with higher grades. On the other hand, a low, negative, and significant relationship was found between students digital game addiction and spatial reasoning skills.

 Bu araştırmada, çocukların dijital oyun bağımlılıklarının ve uzamsal akıl yürütme becerilerinin çeşitli değişkenler açısından incelenmesi ve aralarındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Betimsel ve korelasyonel araştırma modelinde tasarlanan bu çalışmanın katılımcılarını, Diyarbakır ili merkez ilçelerinde basit tesadüfi örnekleme yöntemiyle seçilen ilkokul ve ortaokullarda 4. ve 5. sınıflarda öğrenim gören 318 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Veriler Çocuklar için Dijital Oyun Bağımlılığı Ölçeği ve Uzamsal Akıl Yürütme Testi aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde bağımsız örneklemler için t-testi, tek yönlü varyans analizi ve Pearson korelâsyon katsayısı kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada erkek öğrencilerin dijital oyun bağımlılıklarının ve uzamsal yönelimlerinin kız öğrencilere göre, 5. sınıf öğrencilerinin dijital oyun bağımlılıklarının 4. sınıf öğrencilerine göre ve özel okulda öğrenim gören öğrencilerin uzamsal akıl yürütme becerilerinin devlet okulunda öğrenim gören öğrencilere göre anlamlı düzeyde daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca eğitim düzeyi yüksek olan ebeveynlerin çocuklarının, eğitim düzeyi daha düşük olan ebeveynlerin çocuklarına göre dijital oyun bağımlılıklarının düşük olduğu, uzamsal akıl yürütme becerilerinin ise anlamlı düzeyde daha yüksek olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Genellikle matematik not ortalamaları düşük olan öğrencilerin, ortalamaları yüksek olanlara göre dijital oyun bağımlılıklarının yüksek olduğu, uzamsal akıl yürütme becerilerinin düşük olduğu belirlenmiştir. Öte yandan öğrencilerin dijital oyun bağımlılıkları ile uzamsal akıl yürütme becerileri arasında düşük düzeyde, negatif ve anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
