Abstract |
|
|
The purpose of this study is to determine the satisfaction
levels of the students studying at technical education faculties
to become Machine Drawing and Construction teachers. The study
has been devised as a survey and its scope consists of candidate
teachers attending the machine drawing and construction
education program of the technical education faculty of seven
universities in Turkey. Sampling has been done among randomly
chosen 319 students studying in the machine drawing and
construction program at the Faculty of Technical Education
(FTE). The findings obtained in the study have revealed that the
satisfaction levels of the students regarding the administration
of their faculties, social activities in their faculties,
educational activities and applied studies are at a medium
level. Moreover, it has been found out that although the
opinions concerning the school and the reason for choosing the
department show significant discrepancies at certain levels, no
such discrepancies have been revealed according to the high
schools that the students have graduated from. In the study,
following the evaluation of the tables drawn as a result of the
analysis, some implications and suggestions have been offered.
Key words:
Machine drawing and construction candidate teachers,
satisfaction level, technical education faculty. |
