Özet:

 This study aims to reveal the relationship between cognitive flexibility and test anxiety levels of graduates who graduated from secondary education and prepared for the YKS exam by working with their own methods in the library. Relational survey model, one of the quantitative research methods, was adopted in the study. In the study, 155 graduated students who prepared for the YKS exam in 5 public cafes in Sincan district of Ankara province, which offer free study opportunities to individuals, participated in the study. Ayda Test Anxiety Scale and Cognitive Flexibility Inventory were used in the study. Data were analysed using SPSS 20.0. In order to determine the levels of Test Anxiety and Cognitive Flexibility, arithmetic averages and standard deviations were analysed from descriptive statistics. Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient method was used to determine the relationships between Test Anxiety and Cognitive Flexibility. Graduate students who prepared for the YKS exam by working in the library had moderate test anxiety and high cognitive flexibility averages. A negative and low-level relationship was found between test anxiety and cognitive flexibility. The findings of the study were discussed on the axis of literature and recommendations were made.

 Bu çalışma, ortaöğretimden mezun olmuş kütüphanede kendi yöntemleriyle çalışarak YKS ye Yükseköğretim Kurumları Sınavı hazırlanan öğrencilerin bilişsel esneklik ve sınav kaygı düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koymayı amaçlamıştır. Araştırma da nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden ilişkisel tarama modeli benimsenmiştir. Araştırmaya Ankara ili Sincan ilçesinde bulunan bireylere ücretsiz çalışma imkânı sunan 5 millet kıraathanesinde YKS ye hazırlanan mezun öğrencilerden 155 kişi katılmıştır. Araştırmada Ayda Sınav Kaygısı Ölçeği ve Bilişsel Esneklik Envanteri kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizi SPSS 20.0 kullanılarak gerçekleşmiştir. Sınav kaygısı ve bilişsel esneklik düzeylerini belirlemek için betimsel istatistiklerden aritmetik ortalamalara ve standart sapmalara bakılmıştır. Sınav Kaygısı ve Bilişsel Esneklik arasındaki ilişkileri belirlemek için pearson momentler çarpımı korelasyon katsayısı yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Kütüphanede çalışarak YKS ye hazırlanan mezun öğrencilerin sınav kaygıları orta düzey, bilişsel esneklik ortalamaları ise yüksektir. Sınav kaygısı ve bilişsel esneklik arasında negatif ve düşük düzeyde ilişki bulunmuştur. Literatür ekseninde araştırmanın bulguları tartışılmış ve önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
