Abstract
The aim of the study is to examine the relations between higher education students' lateral thinking dispositions and inquiry skills. Survey design and Structural Equation Modelling were used in the study. The sampling of the study consisted of 975 prospective teachers attending three faculties of education in three different state universities in Turkey. Inquiry Skills Scale and Lateral Thinking Disposition Scale were used to collect data. The collected data were analysed using R Studio programme. It was observed in the study that students' inquiry skills and lateral thinking dispositions were high. It was revealed in the study that inquiry skills predicted lateral thinking dispositions. Inquiry skills account for 31% of lateral thinking disposition. Thus, it can be concluded that lateral thinking dispositions of higher education students' depend on their inquiry skills at a percentage of 31%.
本研究旨在探讨高校学生的横向思维倾向与探究能力之间的关系。研究采用了调查设计和结构方程模型。研究抽样包括土耳其三所国立大学教育学院的 975 名准教师。研究使用探究技能量表和横向思维倾向量表收集数据。收集到的数据使用 R Studio 程序进行分析。研究发现，学生的探究技能和横向思维处置能力较高。研究显示，探究能力预示着横向思维倾向。探究技能占横向思维倾向的 31%。因此，可以得出结论，高校学生的横向思维倾向取决于他们的探究技能，所占比例为 31%。
