Üniversiteyi Tercih Etme, Akademik İtibar ve Sosyal Etkinlik Arasındaki İlişki: Akdeniz ve Eskişehir Osmangazi Üniversitesi Lisans Öğrencileri Örneği
Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye'deki kamu üniversitelerini seçen öğrencilerin tercih nedenlerini belirlemektir. Buna bağlı olarak kamu üniversitelerini tercih eden öğrencilerin seçimlerini hangi faktörlerin ne derece etkili olduğu sorusuna da yanıt aranmaktadır. Mevcut çalışma kapsamında öğrencilerin üniversiteyi seçme kararlarını etkileyen faktörler modellenmiştir. Araştırma ilişkisel tarama modelinde yürütülmüş, hedef evreni temsil etmek üzere Biglan sınıflandırma tekniği uygulanmıştır. Araştırmaya Akdeniz Üniversitesinden 591, Osmangazi Üniversitesinden 453 olmak üzere toplam 1044 birinci sınıf lisans öğrencisi katılmıştır. Araştırmada araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen Üniversite Tercih Etme, Sosyal Etkinlikler ve Akademik İtibar ölçekleri kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde SPSS 20.0 ve LISREL 8.70 istatistik paket programlarından yararlanılmıştır. Araştırmaya göre; lisans öğrencileri sırasıyla üniversitede eğitim alan öğrencilere, üniversitenin sunmuş olduğu maddi olanaklara, yakın tanıdıklara, eğitimin maliyetine, üniversite hakkında bilgilendirilmeye, iş olanaklarına, lise eğitiminin etkisine ve son olarak coğrafi konuma göre üniversite tercihi yapmaktadır. Geliştirilen modele göre; üniversiteyi tercih etmeyi sosyal etkinlik ve akademik itibar doğrudan etkilemektedir. Sosyal etkinliğe katılım arttıkça akademik itibar algısı da artmaktadır
The Relationship between University Choice Desicion, Academic Reputation and Social Activities:Example of Undergraduate Students of Akdeniz and Eskişehir Osmangazi Universities
The purpose of this study was to reveal the factors influencing students' choice of a public university to study. It also aims to reveal the extent to which these factors were influential. The factors influencing students' university choice were modelled. The study was conducted in relational survey model, and Biglan classification scheme was used to represent the target population. The participants of the study are composed of 591 and 453 first-year students from Akdeniz University and Osmangazi University, respectively. University Choice, Social Activities, and Academic Reputation scales developed by the researchers were used to collect data. The data were analyzed using the SPSS 20.0 and LISREL 8.70 statistical software packages. The results of the study reveal that the factors influencing first year students' choice of university are the students who are already studying at the university, financial opportunities offered by the university, acquaintances, the cost of education, being informed about the university, job opportunities, the impact of high school education and geographical position, respectively. According to the model, social activities and academic reputation directly affect university choice. As the participation in social activity increases, the perception of academic reputation also increases
