In this study, it was aimed to examine the relationship between study skills and academic risk taking. For this purpose, the relational screening model was used in the research. The study group of the study consists of 221 university students studying at Siirt University Faculty of Education in the Fall Semester of the 2011-2012 academic year. In the study, "Study Skills Scale" developed by Bay, Tu?luk and Gençdo?an (2004) was used to measure students' studying skills. In order to measure students' academic risk taking behaviors, the "Academic Risk Taking Scale" developed by Clifford (1991) and adapted into Turkish by Korkmaz (2002) was used. Motivation in research, The relationship between the study skills data set consisting of time management and exam preparation-exam anxiety management variables and the academic risk-taking data set consisting of the variables of negativity tendency after failure, tendency to prefer power operations, tendency to recover after failure and to be effective, and tendency not to do homework is canonical. It was examined by correlation analysis. As a result of the canonical correlation analysis, a significant relationship was found between studying skills and academic risk taking, and the common variance shared between data sets was found to be 29.5%. The relationship between the academic risk-taking data set consisting of the variables of recovery after failure, tendency to be active and tendency not to do homework was examined by canonical correlation analysis. As a result of the canonical correlation analysis, a significant relationship was found between study skills and academic risk taking, and the common variance shared between data sets was found to be 29.5%. The relationship between the academic risk-taking data set consisting of the variables of recovery after failure, tendency to be active and tendency not to do homework was examined by canonical correlation analysis. As a result of the canonical correlation analysis, a significant relationship was found between study skills and academic risk taking, and the common variance shared between data sets was found to be 29.5%.
