The help of a standardized survey technique gathers the data of the research. The locus of control levels of the subjects, who is going to take part in the research, are measured with The Scale of Internal-External Locus of Control developed by Rotter (1966) and Learning Scale developed by Güngör (2006). The help of descriptive statistical techniques and multiple regression analysis, check the gathered data by using SPSS program.
