After World War 1, Atatürk fought for the Turkish nation in the name of independence. He is a unique leader who established the Republic of Turkey
and made reforms in many areas to help country to achieve the level of contemporary civilizations. Following the founding of the Turkish
Republic, Atatürk gave significant tasks and responsibilities to the youth in the protection and supervision of this system. Therefore, the current
generation especially young people have an important role in the future of the Republic, From this point of view, the research focused on the level of
understanding of Atatürk's thought, system and actions. Because individuals who do not know what Atatürk did, cannot assimilate the
reforms made in accordance with the fundamental principles and cannot comprehend the Kemalist thought system cannot be expected to understand
the past, present and future properly. They are critical for the survival of the Turkish Republic and should be instructed to modern generations. In
this study, the perspective of the university students towards what Atatürk did and the effect of Atatürk's personality on the university students were
examined. For this purpose, “Atatürk Perception Scale” developed by Dönmez and Hamarat (2014) was applied to 45 university students aged
between of 18-24. Granting to the results of the research, students' perception of Atatürk is high with an average of 125.71 ± 20.12 points.
Perceptions of Atatürk, his reforms and his thoughts did not differ significantly according to gender and income level. The aim of the study is
to be the source of the researches to be conducted on the youth.
