After some questions had been asked to students with respect to demographic information and geographic literacy, it was asked to draw a world map associated with Turkey’s international affairs. The data were analyzed via qualitative and quantitative analyze techniques.

Abstract

Bu çalışmada üniversite öğrencilerinin çizdikleri taslak dünya haritalarının niteliğine bakılarak Türkiye’nin uluslararası ilişkileri bağlamında coğrafya okuryazarlıkları incelenmiştir. Ayrıca, öğrencilerin coğrafya okuryazarlıklarını etkileyen faktörler de incelenmiştir. Çalışmaya Marmara Üniversitesi, Gazi Üniversitesi, Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi, Necmettin Erbakan Üniversitesi ve Atatürk Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakülteleri Coğrafya Öğretmenliği Anabilim Dallarında öğrenim gören 147 öğrenci katılmıştır. Öğrencilere demografik bilgiler ve coğrafya okuryazarlığına ilişkin bazı sorular sorulduktan sonra, Türkiye’nin uluslararası ilişkilerini temel alan bir Dünya haritası çizmeleri istenmiştir. Elde edilen veriler, nitel ve nicel veri analizi teknikleriyle değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, öğrenciler Türkiye’nin komşu ülkeler ve dünya güç dengeleri bakımından önemli bir konuma sahip olduğunu düşünmektedirler. Siyasi, ekonomik ve kültürel ilişkilerine bağlı olarak farklı ülke ve ülke gruplarıyla ilişkiler olduğuna vurgu yapılmıştır.
