Abstract
Bilim festivalleri, bilim halkla ilişkileri kapsamında kullanılan halkla ilişkiler araçlarındandır. TEKNOFEST, ülkemizde gerçekleştirilen bilim festivallerinden biridir. Açımlayıcı sıralı karma desenle yürütülen bu araştırmanın amacı, TEKNOFEST’e katılan ve katılmayan ortaöğretim öğrencilerinden nicel sonuçlar elde ederek mesleki karar düzeylerini saptamak, sonrasında elde edilen sonuçları daha derinlemesine keşfetmek için TEKNOFEST’e katılan öğrencilerle nitel görüşme yapmak ve bu festivalin meslek seçimleri üzerindeki rolü ve yansımalarını belirlemektir. Araştırmanın nicel boyutunda araştırma grubunu 781 lise öğrencisi oluşturmuştur. TEKNOFEST’e katılan ve katılmayan öğrencilerin mesleki karar düzeylerine ilişkin hem alt boyut hem de toplam puan ortalamaları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılıklar bulunmuştur. Araştırmanın nitel boyutunda ise 21 katılımcıyla yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Analiz sonucunda belirlenen temalar “Meslek Seçimine Etki Eden Faktörler”, “Seçilen Mesleğin Kişisel Özelliklere Uygunluğu”, “TEKNOFEST’e Katılma Nedenleri”, “TEKNOFEST’in Bilimsel Çalışmalara Duyulan İlgiye Etkisi”, “TEKNOFEST’e Katılımın Meslek Seçimine Etkisi” ve “TEKNOFEST’e Katılımın Meslek Tercihi Değişikliğine Etki Boyutları” olarak adlandırılmıştır. Sonuç olarak TEKNOFEST’in, ortaöğretim öğrencilerinin mesleki ve kariyer gelişimlerini zenginleştirme konusunda katkılar sağladığı söylenebilir.
Science festivals are one of the public relations tools used within the scope of science public relations. TEKNOFEST is one of the science festivals organized in our country. The aim of this study, which was conducted with an exploratory sequential mixed design, was to determine the level of vocational decision-making by obtaining quantitative results from high school students who participated and did not participate in TEKNOFEST, and then to conduct qualitative interviews with students who participated in TEKNOFEST to explore the results obtained in more depth and to determine the role and reflections of this festival on their vocational choices. In the quantitative phase of the study, the research group consisted of 781 high school students. Statistically significant differences were found between the mean scores of both sub-dimensions and total scores of the students who participated in TEKNOFEST and those who did not participate in TEKNOFEST regarding their vocational decision levels. In the qualitative phase of the study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 21 participants. The themes determined as a result of the analysis were named “Factors Affecting Vocational Choice”, “Appropriateness of the Selected Vocation for Personal Characteristics”, “Reasons for Participating in TEKNOFEST”, “The Effect of TEKNOFEST on Interest in Scientific Researches”, “The Effect of Participation in TEKNOFEST on Vocational Choice” and “Dimensions of the Effect of Participation in TEKNOFEST on Change of Vocational Preference”. In conclusion, it can be asserted that TEKNOFEST will contribute to enriching the vocational and career development of high school students.
