Farklı Lise Türlerinde Öğrenim Gören Öğrencilerin ‘Üniversite’ Kavramına Yönelik Metaforik Algıları

Year 2020, Volume: 7 Issue: 2, 776 - 793, 29.12.2020

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, farklı lise türlerinde öğrenim gören lise son sınıf öğrencilerinin üniversite kavramına ilişkin görüşlerinin metaforlar aracılığıyla incelenmesidir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu lise son sınıfta öğrenim gören 268 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Çalışmada öğrencilerden üniversite kavramına yönelik metaforlar üretmeleri istenmiştir. Çalışma verileri yarı-yapılandırılmış bir form aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Çalışma verileri nitel yaklaşım tekniklerinden içerik analizi ile çözümlenmiştir. Çalışmada 229 metafor üretilmiştir. Üniversite kavramının tanımlanmasında üretilen metaforların en çok “özgürlük”, “geleceğe yön veren” ve “bilgi veren ve geliştiren” kategorileri altında yer aldığı görülmüştür. Ayrıca “özgürlük”, “dönüm noktası”, “hayat” ve “gelecek” ifadeleri de en sık kullanılan metaforlar olarak göze çarpmıştır. Metaforlar okul türüne göre analiz edildiğinde; Fen Lisesi öğrencilerinin görüşlerinin çoğunlukla “bilgi veren ve geliştiren”, Anadolu Lisesi öğrencilerinin “özgürlük” ve İmam-Hatip Lisesi öğrencilerinin ise “araç” kategorilerinde yer aldığı görülmüştür.
