Bu doğrultuda nitel araştırma yöntemi benimsemiş olup, katılımcıların görüşleri fenomonolojik bir yaklaşımla derinlemesine analiz edilmiştir. Veri toplama aracı olarak, araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme soruları kullanılmıştır. Çalışma grubu; amaçlı örnekleme yöntemiyle belirlenmiş olup, 2020-2021 eğitim öğretim yılında İstanbul ili Beykoz ilçesinde lise kademesinde öğrenim görmekte olan 8 göçmen öğrenci, göçmen öğrencisi bulunan lise kademesi okullardan 5 yönetici ve benzer şekilde lise kademesinde göçmen öğrencilerin derslerine girmiş 5 öğretmenden oluşmaktadır. Elde edilen veriler betimsel içerik analizine tabi tutulmuştur.
