TÜRKİYE’DE YÜKSEKÖĞRETİM DÜZEYİNDE YÜRÜTÜLEN REKREASYON PROGRAMLARI VE PROGRAM AMACINA YÖNELİK ÖĞRENCİ BEKLENTİLERİ ÜZERİNE BİR ARAŞTIRMA

Abstract

The main purpose of this research is to discover whether undergraduate recreation students’ reasons for choosing these programs have an impact on their expectations and evaluations. A total number of 1095 students who study at 18 faculties and colleges were included in the study. The students were asked some questions in order to determine whether the program they are enrolled, type of the school they have been attending, their gender, job of the head of their family, their family’s average monthly income, student’s place of accommodation, and type of their acceptance to the program had an impact on their expectations. Responses were analyzed with appropriate statistical methods via computer. Based on the findings, it was concluded that there were significant relationships between the factors such as the type of the school students were enrolled, type of acceptance and their expectations and evaluations. Based on these findings, some recommendations were made on schools that have undergraduate recreation programs in Turkey and the quality of the education these schools provide.
