A Phenomenal Study On The Problems Encountered By Refugee Students During The Education-Training Process

Abstract

This research was planned to identify the problems encountered by refugee students during the education process. Depending on its purpose, the research was planned according to the phenomenology pattern, one of the qualitative research methods. The study group of the research consisted of 24 refugee students studying in a public secondary school selected according to the criterion sampling method. A semi-structured interview form was applied to the study group as a data collection tool. The collected data were analyzed using the content analysis method, and themes were created as a result of the analysis. As a result of the research, it was determined that most of the refugee students did not have any problems with their schoolmates and teachers, were not excluded, and did not have communication problems. It was concluded that most of the refugee students participating in the research stated that they had difficulty understanding the lessons and the biggest reason for this was the language difference. It is also seen that refugee students do not experience any reluctance to participate in class and learn.
