YÜKSEKÖĞRETİMDE SOSYAL SORUMLULUK PROJELERİ; ÖĞRETMEN GÖRÜŞLERİ ÜZERİNE BİR ARAŞTIRMA

Abstract

Current study records the thoughts of the teachers of the contacted schools within the scope of the aid activities of MEMYO Social Solidarity and Assistance Club which was established by the students of Namık Kemal University, Marmaraereğlisi Vocational School during the academic year of 2015-2016. Continuing its activities today in 2019, the Club presents a unique example of social responsibility project by collecting aid-materials and delivering them to the schools where there are students in need. It is officially recorded that the club has reached over 4,000 students in 150 schools in a 3-year period. The aim of the study is to evaluate the teachers’ opinions about the project and the possible impacts of the students and their parents on the project based on the opinions of the teachers. In this context, 10 teachers from previous schools were selected on a voluntary basis. Since the teachers were working in different cities, online interviews were conducted with each individual. While the interview results are presented in a quantitative manner with frequency tables, the teachers’ discourses are also evaluated qualitatively in the lower part of the tables. As a result, it is seen that the activities of MEMYO Social Solidarity and Assistance Club has a positive role in the awareness of social responsibility and development of national unity among the school students and related circles.
