ABSTRACT
This study consists of the analysis on the relationship between the epistemological beliefs of secondary
level students and their attitudes towards studying. The sampling of the study was formed by 440 students studying at Grade
10, 11 and 12 in secondary schools. The Epistemological Belief Questionnaire and the Attitudes towards Studying Scale,
which were developed in Likert-type in order to assess students’ epistemological beliefs and attitudes toward studying, were
used as data collection tools. The data obtained from the scales were evaluated according to some variables and significant
positive relations were determined. The analysis concluded that there were significant relationship between students’ genders
and grade levels in terms of their epistemological beliefs and attitudes towards studying. It was found that as the level of
students’ epistemological beliefs increased, their attitudes towards studying also improved.
