ÜNİVERSİTE ÖĞRENCİLERİNDE SURİYELİ ALGISI: KOCAELİ ÖRNEĞİ

Dış politika ve sığınma politikalarının bir sonucu olarak Türkiye, dünyada en fazla sığınmacı kabul eden ülke konumundadır. Türkiye’deki Suriyelilerin sayısı 3.6 milyonu geçmiştir; bunların yüzde doksansekizi geçici barınma merkezlerinin dışında barınmaktadır. Son yapılan çalışmalar Türkiye kamuoyunda Suriyelilere karşı yüksek oranda bir hoşnutsuzluğu ortaya koymaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Kocaeli Üniversitesi’ndeki 396 üniversite öğrencisiyle anket çalışması yaparak Türkiyeli üniversite öğrencilerinin Suriyelilere bakış açısını anlamaktır. Bu çerçevede, cinsiyet, sınıf ve yerleşim yeri gibi bağımsız değişkenlerin etkileri incelenmiştir. Toplanan verinin güvenilirliği ve geçerliliği güven analizi ve faktör analizi ile tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmamız çerçevesinde elde ettiğimiz bulgulara göre, her ne kadar üniversite öğrencileri kamuoyunda Suriyelilere karşı oluşan hoşnutsuzluğu paylaşsa da, üçüncü ve dördüncü sınıf öğrencileri birinci ve ikinci sınıflara oranla daha pozitif tavır göstermektedirler ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark ifade eden tek bağımsız değişken de sınıftır.

HOW DO TURKISH STUDENTS OF HIGHER EDUCATION PERCEIVE SYRIANS: THE CASE OF KOCAELI

As a result of its foreign and asylum policies, Turkey is now the world`s largest recipient of refugees. The number of Syrians in Turkey reached over 3.6 million, 98 percent of whom lives outside temporary shelter settings. Recent studies have demonstrated a high-level of public disfavor in the Turkish host society toward Syrians. The aim of this study is to explore Turkish university students’ perceptions of Syrians by conducting surveys with 396 university students at Kocaeli University. The impacts of independent variables such as gender, grade, and place of residence are evaluated. The reliability and validity of collected data are determined by using reliability analysis and factor analysis. Based on our findings, we argue that although university students share public disfavor toward Syrians, third and fourth graders have a less negative attitude compared to first and second graders, and the only independent variable, which makes a statistically significant difference, is grade.
