As a result of the study, it was found out that education-based faculties such as humanities and science were female-dominated and risk-taking and tools-driven professions like en-gineering, veterinary and agriculture were male-dominated. The faculty of economic and administra-tive sciences is more selected by sociable, persistent, confident, inquisitive individuals; communica-tion faculty is preferred by researcher, risk-loving, sentimental, independent, inventive, gentle and innovative enrollees; and engineering faculty is preferred by enrollees with diligent, responsible, smart, patient, softhearted and quiet personalities.

Özet

İster gelişmekte olan, ister az gelişmiş ülkede olsun, genç bireylerin üniversiteye gitmek ve hangi alanda eğitim alacağına karar vermek, yaşamlarındaki en önemli kararlarından biridir. Bu kararı be-lirleyici içsel faktörler, gençlerin sahip olduğu kişiliğinden ve cinsiyetinden oluşmaktadır. Bu araştırma, genç nüfusun yoğun olduğu Kırgızistan’da öğrenci adaylarının cinsiyeti ve algıladıkları kişiliklerinin gelecekte kariyer tercihine olan etkisini ve ikisi arası ilişkiyi incelemeyi amaçla-maktadır. Bu amaca yönelik Kırgızistan örneğinde dört yıllık veri kapsamında (2015-2018) 7839 öğrenci adayından elde edilen veri seti üzerinde istatistiksel analizler yapılmıştır. Katılımcıların kendi algıladıkları kişilik ile ilgili sorular toplam 32 maddede yoğunlaşmıştır. Araştırma bulguları öğrenci adaylarının geleceğe yönelik meslek tercihlerinde sahip oldukları kişilikleri ve cinsiyetleri arasında bir ilişkinin olduğunu göstermektedir. Araştırma sonucunda edebiyat ve fen gibi eğitim ağırlıklı mes-leklerin kız adaylar tarafından, risk-alıcı, araç kullanmayı gerektiren teknik mesleklerin ise erkek adaylar tarafından daha çok tercih edildiği ortaya çıkmıştır. İktisadi ve idari bilimler fakültesini nispeten toplumcul, ısrarlı, kendine güvenen, meraklı; iletişim fakültesini araştırmacı, riski seven, duygusal, bağımsız, yaratıcı, uysal ve yenilikçi; mühendislik fakültesini gayretli, sorumluluk sahibi, zeki, sabırlı, merhametli ve sessiz kişiliğe sahip katılımcıların tercih ettiği sonucuna gidilmiştir. Araştırma bulguları, devlet üniversitelerinde aday öğrencilerin karar verme sürecini ölçmek için ileride yapılacak olan çalışmaların önemini vurgulayabilir.
