Lisans Öğrencilerinin Üniversitelerin Sosyal Sorumluluklarını Gerçekleştirme Düzeylerinin Farklı Değişkenler Açısından İncelenmesi: Girne Amerikan Üniversitesi, Eğitim Fakültesi Örneği
Küreselleşmenin etkisi ile farklılaşan sosyo-ekonomik çevrede, yükseköğretim kurumlarının görevleri daha da önemsenmekte ve genişlemektedir. Yükseköğretim kurumlarının Dünya genelinde öğretim, araştırma ve topluma hizmet olarak görülen üçlü görevinin her birinin daha belirgin ve değerli olduğu günümüz şartlarında, özellikle üçüncü görevi daha fazla sorgulanır olmuştur. Bu araştırmada, üniversitelerin sosyal sorumluluklarını gerçekleştirme düzeyinin lisans öğrencilerinin görüşleri doğrultusunda ölçülebilmesi için araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilmiş beşli Likert, dört alt boyutlu toplam 25 maddeden oluşan Fakülte Sosyal Sorumluluk ölçeği ile lisans öğrencilerinden 361 kişilik katılım sağlanarak veri toplanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, kadın ve erkek katılımcılar arasında Toplumsal Bilinç Aşılama alt boyutu haricinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark tespit edilmemiştir. Yaş değişkeni tüm alt boyutlarda ve ölçek genelinde 19-21 yaş aralığındaki katılımcıların lehine 25+ yaş grubundaki katılımcılar arasında anlamlı fark tespit edilmiştir. Katılım sağlanan sosyal etkinliklerin kazandırdığı duygular değişkeninde Akademik Birikim Aktarma alt boyutu haricinde tüm alt boyutlarda ve ölçek genelinde, olumlu duygular lehine anlamlı farklılık tespit edilmiştir. Öğrenim görülen program değişkeninde Okul Öncesi ve Özel Eğitim Öğretmenliği programlarında diğer programlar arasında anlamlı fark tespit edilmiştir. Katılımcıların sınıf düzeyi, akademik not ortalaması ve etkinlik katılım amaçlarında anlamlı fark tespit edilmemiştir. Ölçeğin tüm alt boyutları arasında pozitif yönlü ve yüksek düzeyde ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Genel sonuç olarak, araştırmanın yürütüldüğü kurumun sosyal sorumluluklarını gerçekleştirme düzeyleri katılımcılar tarafından orta seviye olarak algılandığı tespit edilmiştir.

Higher education institutions’ duties of teaching, research and social responsibilities are becoming more prominent and valuable in today’s conditions and the third mission is especially has been more questionable. In this research, data were collected by means of a five-point Likert scale with 25 items in four sub-dimensions named as Faculty Social Responsibility scale which was developed by the researcher in order to measure the social responsibility fulfillment level of the hosting institution from 361 undergraduates’ perceptions. Findings reveal that there was not a statistically significant difference between male and female participants except the Transferring the Social Responsibility Consciousness to Students sub-dimension. A significant difference was found among the participants in the 25+ age group in favor of the participants in the 19-21 age range in all sub-dimensions and the scale overall in the age variable. Except the Transferring Academic Knowledge sub-dimension, a significant difference was found in all sub-dimensions and the scale overall in favor of positive emotions by means of the social activities attended. A significant difference was found between Pre-School and Special Education Teaching programs with the other programs that undergraduates study in the department variable. There was no significant difference in the participants’ grade level, academic average grade and the reasons of participation in the social activities. A positive and high level correlation was found between all sub-dimensions of the scale. As an overall conclusion, it was found that the social responsibility fulfillment level of the institution where the research was conducted found to be at a moderate level regarding the participants’ perceptions.
