Abstract

Natural disaster literacy is an important element for preparation and intervention before, during and after natural disasters. Special education department students have this skill and play a leading role in informing students with special needs and their families about natural disasters. Natural disaster literacy levels of special education students were analysed in various variables. The tests used in the analysis; independent sample t-test, anova and ancova tests were used. According to the independent sample t-test, the level of natural disaster literacy in favour of male students of special education department showed a significant difference compared to female students of special education department. ANOVA test, a significant difference was found in favour of 2nd grade special education students in terms of class levels compared to 4th grade special education students. As a result of Ancova test, when psychological resilience is taken into control according to both gender and class level, natural disaster literacy of special education students is at a significant level. It is recommended that courses on natural disaster literacy should be compulsory courses in universities and awareness-raising practices for natural disasters should be carried out with non-governmental organizations, the results are discussed within the scope of the literature.

ÖZEL EĞİTİM BÖLÜMÜ ÖĞRENCİLERİNİN DOĞAL AFET OKURYAZARLIK DÜZEYLERİNİN ÇEŞİTLİ DEĞİŞKENLER AÇISINDAN İNCELENMESİ

Abstract

Doğal afet okur-yazarlığı, doğal afet öncesi sırası ve sonrası hazırlık ve müdahale için önemli bir unsurdur. Özellikle özel eğitim bölümü öğrencilerinin bu beceriye sahip olması ile özel gereksinimi olan öğrencilerin ve ailelerinin doğal afetler konusunda bilgilendirilmesinde başrol oynamaktadır. Bundan dolayı özel eğitim bölümü öğrencilerinin doğal afet okur-yazarlık düzeyleri, çeşitli değişkenler açısından incelenmiştir. Araştırmada verilerin analizi için istatiksel paket program kullanılmıştır. Analizde kullanılan testler; bağımsız örneklem t-testi, anova ve ancova testleri kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, bağımsız örneklem t-testine göre özel eğitim bölümü erkek öğrencilerin lehine doğal afet okur-yazarlık düzeyinin özel eğitim bölümü kadın öğrencilerinkine göre anlamlı farklılık göstermiştir. Anova testi sonucunda ise sınıf düzeyleri açından 2. Sınıf özel eğitim öğrencilerinin lehine 4. Sınıf özel eğitim öğrencilerinin düzeyinden anlamlı farklılık saptanmıştır. Ancova testi sonucunda hem cinsiyet hem de sınıf düzeyine göre psikolojik dayanıklılık kontrol atına alındığında özel eğitim bölümü öğrencilerinin doğal afet oku-yazarlığı anlamlı düzeydedir. Doğal afet oku-yazarlığa ilişkin derslerin üniversitelerde zorunlu ders olması ve doğal afetlere yönelik farkındalık uygulamaların sivil toplum kuruluşlarıyla yapılması önerilmekle birlikte sonuçlar literatür kapsamında tartışılmıştır.
