Exploring New Media Students’ Attitudes towards Their Education

Öz

Digitalisation has profoundly reshaped the education landscape, with the pervasive influence of communication technologies acting as a catalyst for these ongoing transformations. ‘New Media’, which emerged as a distinct academic discipline resulting from this transformation, is a phenomenon that continues to develop and evolve. This study, which was conducted using semi-structured in-depth interviews with 20 new media students from various public and foundation universities, explores their perspectives on new media education. The primary focus of this research is centred on students' experiences; however, it also seeks to contribute to the broader discourse surrounding new media education. From the perspective of new media students, the study's findings emphasise the need to develop a balanced curriculum that integrates theoretical knowledge with practical application, addresses technical training and equipment needs, categorises courses based on specific fields, and adapts swiftly todigital advancements. Participants noted inconsistencies in existing curricula across universities, which affect the overall quality of education. They recommended incorporating current industry practices and innovations into the curriculum to enhance theoretical and practical knowledge transfer. Moreover, the study offers recommendations from participants for a more standardised curriculum in new media education, as well as for the enhancement of collaboration between industry, academia, students, and fresh graduates. These suggestions aim to enhance the educational experience of new media students, better prepare them for the industry, and strengthen collaboration among all stakeholders in the field, thus significantly contributing to the ongoing discourse on new media education and providing data for future research.
