Navigating Crises: Examining the Impact on Students in Four European Countries

Öz:
A crisis is any challenging situation that requires a judgment or a decision. During their lifespan people are exposed to crises at micro, meso and macro levels. Lately, many research deals with crises at macro level. Situations of crises at a macro level that we have been facing such as pandemics, war, earthquakes, and substantial challenges in everyday situations and life lead to the necessity to explore learning and teaching at higher education institutions in the times of c rises. The goal of t he research was to determine strategies for dealing with crises on macro level among students in higher education. For this purpose, qualitative research was conducted using the focus group method. Four focus groups were held in which a total of 40 students of different profiles from Belgium, Croatia, Poland, and Romania participated. The results show that the biggest challenge for most participants in crisis situations was the absence of social support. In their answer s, participants discussed the challenges of distance education, stating "screen fatigue" as an obstacle. Despite this, participants pointed out that times of crisis enabled them to discover their own strengths, which they can use as coping strategies in potential future crises.

Krizleri Yönlendirmek: Avrupa’nın Dört Ülkesinden Öğrenciler Üzerindeki Etkinin İncelenmesi

Öz:
Kriz, bir yargı veya karar gerektiren herhangi bir zorlu durumdur. İnsanlar yaşamları boyunca mikro, mezo ve makro düzeylerde krizlere maruz kalırlar. Son zamanlarda birçok araştırma makro düzeydeki krizleri ele almaktadır. Salgın hastalıklar, savaşlar, depremler gibi makro düzeyde karşılaştığımız kriz durumları ve günlük durum ve yaşamdaki önemli zorluklar, kriz zamanlarında yükseköğretim kurumlarında öğrenme ve öğretmeyi keşfetme ihtiyacını doğurmaktadır. Araştırmanın amacı, yükseköğretimdeki öğrenciler arasında makro düzeyde krizlerle başa çıkma stratejilerini belirlemektir. Bu amaçla, odak grup yöntemi kullanılarak nitel bir araştırma yürütülmüştür. Belçika, Hırvatistan, Polonya ve Romanya'dan farklı profillerden toplam 40 öğrencinin katıldığı dört odak grup çalışması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sonuçlar, kriz durumlarında çoğu katılımcı için en büyük zorluğun sosyal destek yokluğu olduğunu göstermektedir. Katılımcılar cevaplarında uzaktan eğitimin zorluklarını tartışmış ve "ekran yorgunluğunu" bir engel olarak belirtmişlerdir. Buna rağmen katılımcılar, kriz zamanlarının kendi güçlü yönlerini keşfetmelerini sağladığını ve bunları gelecekteki olası krizlerde başa çıkma stratejileri olarak kullanabileceklerini belirtmişlerdir.
