Özet

Öz Bu araştırmada resmi kurum ve sivil toplum kuruluşu yöneticilerinin Topluma Hizmet Uygulamalarına (THU) ilişkin görüşleri incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu altı kurumdaki dokuz yöneticiden oluşmaktadır. Çalışmada yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme tekniği kullanılmıştır. Görüşmeler ortalama 30-35 dakika sürmüş ve kayıt cihazına kaydedilerek analizi yapılmıştır. Yönetici görüşlerinin analizinde betimsel analiz yaklaşımı kullanılmıştır. Analizi sonucunda başlıca şu sonuçlara ulaşılmıştır: (1) THU uygulamaya gidilen kurumlar açısından olumlu sonuçlar doğurmuştur. (2) Etkin bir danışman-kurum işbirliğinin olmaması, danışmanların uygulamayı yeterince bilmemesi ve dersi işlemedeki uygulama farklılıkları nedeniyle sorunlar yaşanmaktadır. (3) Dersin uygulanması sürecinde karşılaşılan sorunlar özellikle planlama, eşgüdümleme, öğrencilerin kurumu tanımaması ve ön hazırlığının yetersiz olması gibi konularda yoğunlaşmaktadır. (4) Üniversite-kurum işbirliğinin arzu edilen düzeyde olmayışının temelinde bürokratik işlemler, kurumların amacı ve işleyişi konusundaki bilgi yetersizliği ve üniversite tarafından öğrenciye gerekli kolaylıkların sunulamaması gibi nedenler yatmaktadır.
