• develop their talents and skills. Qualitative findings provided an opportunity to conduct an in-depth
• analysis of the reasons behind the results. According to the findings, it can be said that high school
• students find the social clubs ineffective, because activities and meetings are not held and in primary
• education the number of lessons is not enough. Another study has found that school administrations,
• teachers and students do not sufficiently place importance on the clubs and that the activities of the
• social club are not implemented (Eroğlu, 2008). Exciting and attractive activities and positive teacher
• guidance are important reasons for finding social club activities effective. The reasons for the findings
• can be summarised as follows: emphasis should be given for students to holding regular meetings and
• measures should be taken against not regularly conducting activities and for importance to be given to
• the social clubs; clubs should be fun and teachers’ interest for the social clubs and activities which
• increase the attainments for students are factors which increase the importance placed on activities.
• From this perspective, it is recommended that problems of “lack of Importance”and “gaps in
• implementation” should be eliminated by school administration in high schools, changing their attitude,
• organising the implementation, establishing supervision mechanisms and taking measures to provide
• the opportunity for schools and teachers to conduct more activities to ensure the effectiveness of social
• clubs. Recommendations about school social clubs effectiveness had been collected under the themes
• of “Change of Implementations”, “Paradigm Shift”, “Change of Operations”, “Improvement of
• Conditions”. It shows that managerial interventions were needed to meet these students’ demand
• about changes of implementations.
• The opinions of primary and high school students concerning the effectiveness of social clubs were
• investigated in this study. The results of the study showed that students, in general, did not find the
• social clubs effective and the reasons for this opinion was that managers and teachers did not find the
• clubs important or that there were various inadequacies in the implementation. It is thought that a
• similar study to ascertain the opinions and recommendations of practitioners such as teachers and
• administration on the matter should be conducted.
• Developing policies to improve the effectiveness of social clubs filling the gaps in practice, the
• paradigm shift towards social clubs, considering the expectations and the needs of students in terms of
• grade levels, increasing activities and participations, providing sufficient hours for social clubs activities
• in curriculum and making some regulations which encouraging principals and teachers to do social clubs
• activities can be recommended.
