Researching Student Profiles in the Department of Child Development at Istanbul Gelişim University

Abstract

Aim: This research is a descriptive study aimed at determining the profile of students enrolled in the Department of Child Development within Istanbul Gelisim University's Faculty of Health Sciences. Method: The study group consists of 389 students studying in the child development departments providing education in Turkish and English. In the study, 259 students who agreed to participate in the study were included without any sample selection. Result: Research findings have shown that the majority of child development department students are satisfied with both the department and the university. They choose the child development department voluntarily and rank it among their top three choices in the university preference form. Additionally, they have positive feelings towards both the department and the university. Conclusion: As a result of the research, it was determined that the students were satisfied with their departments and the university. Personality characteristics, professional knowledge, skills, and attitudes of child development professionals directly affect the target audiences with whom they will interact. For this reason, to train qualified child development experts, it is thought that it would be beneficial to take encouraging measures for candidates who will choose the child development profession and to support existing child development experts while doing their profession and help them solve the problems they encounter.
