Ince, Ziya
International Journal of Curriculum and Instruction, v13 n3 p2746-2771 2021
The purpose of this study was to discover what students in the geography department at the Faculty of Arts and Letters thought about the European Union (EU) projects. In the study, a case study pattern, one of the qualitative research methods, was adopted. In the creation of the research group, the maximum diversity sampling process, which is one of the purposeful sampling methods, was chosen. The participants were composed of fourteen volunteer students at the Department of Geography in state a university in Turkey. The data were collected via an interview form developed by the researcher. The form consisted of nine semistructured questions. The obtained data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and content analysis via coding. The results revealed that the participants were willing to take part in the project, and were excited to conduct a study on this topic, but they didn't know much about the EU projects. Some of them who believed in the importance of the projects for their future career, were of the opinion that a compulsory course on project development should be offered, while some others recommended an elective course on that subject. In addition, they put forward suggestions for the proliferation, dissemination, and success of the EU projects in competitions or through different platforms.
