Lise Öğrencilerinin Okuldan Kaçma Nedenlerinin Değerlendirilmesi

Öz: Bu çalışmanın amacı, Ankara ili merkez ilçelerinde bulunan genel ve mesleki-teknik liselerde öğrenim gören öğrencilerin okuldan kaçma nedenlerini belirlemektir. Nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanılan çalışmaya, Ankara ilinin üç merkez ilçesinin genel lise, meslek lisesi ve endüstri meslek lisesinde öğrenim gören kırk beş öğrenci katılmıştır. Araştırmada literatür çalışmasında sonra hazırlanan yarı yapılandırılmış bir görüşme formu kullanılmış ve elde edilen veriler içerik analiziyle çözümlenmiştir. Elde edilen verilere göre, öğrencilerin okuldan kaçma nedenlerinin okul yönetimi, öğretmen, aile, bireysel ve arkadaş kaynaklı olduğu belirlenmiştir. Belirlenen bu nedenler genel lise ve mesleki liselerde temel kaynak olmasına karşın, genel lise ve meslek lisesi öğrencilerinin aynı nedenleri farklı gerekçelerle de açıklamaktadırlar. Öğrencilerin en çok öğretmen tutum ve davranışlarından dolayı, en az ise ailevi nedenlerden dolayı okuldan kaçtıkları görülmektedir.
