University as "preparation for life": An investigation on parents' metaporical expressions

Öz

In the contemporary era, the transition from adolescence to adulthood primarily begins with the choice of university, where parental guidance and influence are significantly pronounced. This research aims to unveil the perceptions parents hold towards the concept of "university" through the use of metaphors. It is a qualitative study designed to describe and interpret the metaphorical thoughts of parents whose children are university students, regarding the phenomenon of university. Content analysis, a commonly employed method in qualitative research analysis, was utilized. The study's participants consist of parents of students enrolled in various undergraduate programs across universities in our country during the fall semester of the 2022-2023 academic year. The sample includes 163 parents. In the study, 142 metaphors produced by parents are analyzed under different categories by subjecting them to content analysis. The metaphors of parents regarding the concept of university are grouped under 12 categories. The analysis of metaphors produced by parents regarding the concept of "University" indicates a predominantly positive perception, characterized by a blend of abstract and concrete expressions. The metaphors most frequently cited—"Life," "Family," "Home," "Development," and "Education"—highlight the university's integral role in personal development, social relationships, and intellectual enrichment. This suggests that parents regard the university not only as an educational institution but as a pivotal life stage pivotal for overall development and social integration. The analysis of parental metaphors concerning the university concept reveals a comprehensive perspective that transcends the educational scope, highlighting its significance in personal growth, intellectual development, social integration, and professional preparation.
