Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify middle-school students’ perception of aeronautical and space engineers. The study group of the study which is a descriptive survey model consists of 50 6th grade middle-school students located in the Adilcevaz District of Bitlis Province. In the study, a drawing form and the ‘Who are Aeronautical and Space Engineers?’ form have been used as data collection tools. In the analysis of data, content analysis and descriptive analysis have been used. As a result of the study, it has been determined that a majority of the students had misconceptions about what aeronautical and space engineers do. In addition, it has been concluded that the students have a stereotypical gender perception about engineers. In the light of these findings, the importance of introducing different engineering areas such as aeronautical and space engineering to the students in forming a career awareness about engineering and the inclusion of the applications in these areas in educational environments has been underlined.

Özet

Bu araştırmanın amacı ortaokul öğrencilerinin havacılık ve uzay mühendisi algılarını belirlemektir. Betimsel tarama modelindeki araştırmanın çalışma grubunu Bitlis İli Adilcevaz ilçesinde bulunan bir ortaokuldaki 50 altıncı sınıf öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak bir çizim formu ile “Havacılık ve Uzay Mühendisi Kimdir?” formu kullanılmıştır. Veri analizinde içerik analizi ile betimsel analizden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucunda öğrencilerin büyük çoğunluğunun havacılık ve uzay mühendisinin yaptığı işlere yönelik yanlış kavramalarının olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca öğrencilerin mühendise yönelik basmakalıp cinsiyet algısına sahip oldukları sonucu elde edilmiştir. Bu bulguların ışığında mühendisliğe ilişkin kariyer bilinci oluşturmada havacılık ve uzay mühendisliği gibi farklı mühendislik alanlarının öğrencilere tanıtılması ve bu alanlara yönelik uygulamaların eğitim ortamlarında yer almasının önemi vurgulanmıştır.
