The Factors affecting the education, expectations, and views of fisheries and aquaculture engineering students: The case of Antalya Province

Abstract

Education Vocational Fisheries andAquaculture given at higher education level in Turkey; It is carried out in three stages: 2-year vocational schools at associate degree level, 4-year fisheries faculties at undergraduate level, and master's and doctoral degrees at graduate level. In this study, the education given at the Faculty of Fisheries at the undergraduate level and its results were examined and the problems related to the subject were examined. Because, the rapid increase in the Faculty of Fisheries and the number of graduates accordingly in our country has led to an increase in the employment problems of the graduates, and the education given in the relevant units has become very controversial. This research was carried out in order to learn the opinions of the students who are studying Fisheries Engineering about the education system and their future professional studies that affect their faculty preferences. For this purpose, a questionnaire was prepared to be applied to fisheries engineer candidates at every stage of the 4-year education. In the evaluation made, while the fisheries faculty ranked first with 34,5% in the preference order of all classes, the belief in doing their profession with the education received was 72,8%.
