Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı (i) üniversite öğrencilerinin insan hakları hususuna ilişkin algılarını incelemek; (ii) ulusal ve uluslararası karşılaştırmalara olanak vermesi açısından “Taking the Human Rights Temperature Questionnaire” adlı ölçeği Türkçe’ye adapte etmektir. Örneklem alanı olarak, çalışmaya Marmara Üniversitesi’nde 10 farklı fakültede öğrenimlerine devam etmekte olan 1175 öğrenci dahil edilmiştir. Varyans analiz sonuçları, üniversite öğrencilerinin insan hakları hassasiyetine ilişkin cevaplarına dair fakülteler arasında anlamlı farklılıklar olduğunu göstermiştir; şöyle ki insan hakları hassasiyeti Teknik Eğitim ve İlahiyat Fakülteleri öğrencilerinde yükselme eğilimi göstermiştir. Cinsiyet değişkenine göre öğrenciler arasında insan hakları hassasiyetine ilişkin anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmamıştır. Fakat, beklenmeyen bir sonuç üniversite yılı değişkenin etkisine ilişkindir: üniversite yılı arttıkça insan hakları hassasiyeti azalma eğilimi göstermiştir. Bu sonuç, yükseköğretim kademesinde insan hakları eğitimine olan ihtiyacı içeren önceki araştırma bulgularının önemini işaret etmekte ve lisans öğrencilerinin duyarlılığın artırmaya yönelik daha sistematik çabalara ihtiyaç olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.

A study on undergraduate students’ sensitivity to human rights

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to (i) survey undergraduate students’ perceptions of and sensitivity to human rights issues, and (ii) adapt the ‘Taking the Human Rights Temperature Questionnaire’ (THRTQ) into Turkish to facilitate further national and international comparisons. The data were collected from 1175 undergraduate students studying at different departments across 10 faculties at Marmara University in İstanbul, Turkey. The analyses showed that, as opposed to the sensitivity hypothesis, students’ sensitivity to human rights issues significantly differed across faculties, and furthermore the level of sensitivity decreased as the study years advanced. Gender did not have a significant influence on responses. The present research is a step towards clarifying the meaning of sensitivity to human rights among undergraduate students. The results showed expected and unexpected outcomes, and suggested that more systematic efforts are needed to facilitate better understanding, awareness, and sensitivity towards human rights, of which current higher education programs neglect.
