Abstract (2. Language): 
This study was conducted in order to investigate the perceptions of university students and teachers regarding responsibilities and abilities related to autonomous learning, and the autonomous activities both inside and outside the classroom. The study also investigated whether these responsibilities, abilities and activities changed significantly according to motivation level and gender. Qualitative data was gathered from 320 students and 24 teachers, together with quantitative data through interviews. The results suggest that students do not take responsibility for their learning although they have the ability, and teachers, themselves, take on most of the responsibilities, by perceiving their students incapable of fulfilling their responsibilities. This study suggests that both students and teachers need to understand the necessity of learner independence, and a training program on autonomous learning should be included in the language curriculum, particularly with regard to administration.

Bu çalısma, üniversite ögrencilerinin ve ögretmenlerinin özerk ögrenmeye iliskin yeterlilik ve sorumlulukları ile sınıf içi ve dısı özerk etkinliklere özgü algılarını arastırmak amacıyla yürütülmüstür. Çalısma, sorumluluk, yeterlilik ve etkinlik boyutlarının motivasyon ve cinsiyete göre önemli derecede degisip degismedigini de arastırmıstır. Nicel veriler 320 üniversite ögrencisi ve 24 ögretmenden toplanmıs ve nitel verilerle desteklenmistir. Sonuçlar ögrencilerin kendilerini yeterli algılamalarına ragmen sorumluluk alamadıklarını, ögrenmelerin ise ögrencilerin sorumluluklarını yerine getiremeyecegini düsünerek pek çok sorumlulugu kendilerinin üstlendigini göstermistir. Çalısmada ögretmen ve ögrencilerin ”ögrenci özerkligi” kavramını yeterince anlamaları ve özerk ögrenme ile ilgili bir egitim programının dil ögrenme programlarına alınması gerektigi önerilmektedir.
