KORONAVİRÜS (COVİD-19) SÜRECİNDE ÖĞRENCİ OLMA DENEYİMİ: BİR FOTOSES(PHOTOVOICE) ÇALIŞMASI

Fotoses, bireylerin günlük yaşamlarını fotoğrafladıkları katılımcı bir eylem araştırması yöntemidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, üniversite öğrencilerinin pandemi deneyimlerini inceleyen fotoses etkinliğini benzersiz ve yenilikçi bir yöntem olarak belirlemektir. Bu çalışmada Süleyman Demirel Üniversitesi Sosyal Hizmet bölümü (N= 154) öğrencileri pandemi döneminde yaşadıklarını ve uzaktan eğitimi fotoğraflarla betimlemeye çalışmıştır. Toplamda 66 fotoğraf ve açıklaması katılımcılar tarafından oluşturuldu, odak grup görüşmelerinde oylanarak seçildi, yorumlandı ve bu fotoğraflardan 12’si bu çalışmada ele alınmıştır. Fotoğrafların ve yorumların analizinde 5 farklı tema inşa edildi: 1-Görünmeyeni görünür kılma-Koronavirüs sürecini temsil eden sembolik imgeler, 2-Koronavirüs bizi nasıl etkiledi? Koronavirüsün yansımaları, 3-Pandemi süreci bize ne öğretti? Sürecin öğrettikleri, 4- Ne yapmamız gerek? Toplumsal mesajlar, 5-Fotoses çalışmasına katılmak nasıl bir deneyimdi? Fotoses çalışması hakkındaki görüşler. Çalışma sonunda öğrencilerden ayrıca fotoses çalışmasının kendileri için nasıl bir deneyim olduğunu aktarmaları istenmiştir. Öğrencilerin süreç ve fotoğraflar hakkında oldukça olumsuz yorumlarına rağmen çalışmanın oldukça anlamlı ve verimli olduğu konusunda görüş birliği ortaya çıktığı görünmektedir. Bu çalışmada son olarak fotoses yönteminin özellikle genç nüfus ile birlikte uygulandığında oldukça verimli ve katılımcı odaklı bir çalışma olabileceğine ilişkin görüşler ifade edilmiştir.
