Abstract

There is no doubt that the covid 19 pandemic has formed a global impact in many sectors. It is a notable fact that the maritime industry, which is a respectable part of the global supply chain, is also affected by the Covid 19 pandemic. Along with these, it is though that there are radical changes in the education sector with the Covid 19 pandemic. That These changes exist, when combined with the changes of covid 19 in the sector, is created a considerable impact on maritime students' perceptions of their profession. In this study, it is aimed to investigate the effect of Covid-19 on students' occupational perceptions. On this paper, the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on maritime students’ perceptions of their profession is investigated using the Five Point Likert Type Survey method. Recent developments resulting from Covid-19 have led to a renewed interest in maritime students’ perceptions of their profession. Accordingly, the study provides a better understanding of maritime students' opinions in order to help maritime regulatory bodies construct future policies that best match seafarer needs.

Covid-19 Pandemisinin Denizcilik Öğrencilerinin Meslek Algılarına Etkisi

Abstract

Hiç şüphe yok ki covid 19 pandemisi birçok sektörde küresel bir etki yarattı. Küresel tedarik zincirinin saygın bir parçası olan denizcilik sektörünün de Covid 19 pandemisinden etkilendiği dikkat çeken bir gerçek. Bunlarla birlikte Covid 19 pandemisi ile birlikte eğitim sektöründe köklü değişiklikler olduğu da düşünülmektedir. Bu değişikliklerin var olması, sektördeki covid 19 değişiklikleri ile birleştiğinde denizcilik öğrencilerinin meslek algıları üzerinde önemli bir etki yaratmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Covid-19'un öğrencilerin mesleki algılarına etkisinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada, Covid-19 pandemisinin denizcilik öğrencilerinin meslek algılarına etkisi Beş Noktalı Likert Tipi Anket yöntemi kullanılarak araştırılmaktadır. Covid-19'dan kaynaklanan son gelişmeler, denizcilik öğrencilerinin mesleklerine ilişkin algılarına yeniden ilgi duymasına yol açmıştır. Nihayetinde bu çalışma denizcilik düzenleyici kurumlarının denizcilerin ihtiyaçlarına uyacak gelecek politikalarını oluşturmalarına yardımcı olmak için denizcilik öğrencilerinin görüşlerinin daha iyi anlaşılmasını sağlayacaktır.
