Multiple Degree Strategies in Türkiye: A Qualitative Study on Formal and Open Education Experiences
Öz
This study aims to examine the effects of multiple degree strategies on occupational flexibility and career security within the context of global economic uncertainty, digital transformation, and Industry 4.0 dynamics. Using purposive sampling with maximum variation strategy, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 university students (aged 19–27) simultaneously enrolled in formal, open and distance education programs to capture socioeconomic and academic diversity. Qualitative data were analyzed via thematic analysis using MAXQDA. Findings reveal that participants' educational motivations are driven by intrinsic development goals, familial and social pressures, and pursuit of economic security. The multi-degree strategy emerges as a strategic tool for adapting to labor market changes and mitigating occupational risks. We recommend: (1) synchronizing formal and open education timetables, (2) enhancing peer/mentor support systems in open education, and (3) restructuring career guidance services to reflect the realities of multi-diploma strategies.
