In the 2019/2020 academic year, a team from the Faculty of Pedagogy at Sofia University „St. Kliment Ohridski “set itself the goal of researching innovative schools in Bulgaria. We researched the legal framework, interviewed principals, and held meetings with innovative teachers. One of the things that impressed us was that there were too few vocational schools. A study followed, which proved our assumption – out of 357 registered innovative schools, only 57 are vocational high schools. Why so little and what was the innovation in them? The report will be presented explore innovative practices in vocational schools. Some of them are focused on the organisation of the learning process other – the pursuit of closer ties with business, third – in realisation of joint ideas and projects.

The aim of this study is to determine the needs of Ege University (EU) students regarding orientation and academic consultancy services. The population (N=48975) of the study consists of students studying on EU Bornova Campus in 2012-2013 academic year; and the sample (n=1387) was chosen using an appropriate sampling method among the newly enrolled preparatory school students and first graders (n=8177) and among students who attend EU from 1st grade to 6th grade (n=40798). The newly enrolled students (n=352) and those continuing their education (n=1035) in the sample are students of 12 faculties, 4 high schools and 3 vocational high schools. Newly enrolled students were given questionnaires on orientation while the questionnaires handed out to students continuing their education focused on academic consultancy. The questionnaires were applied at two separate times. First questionnaires were given between May 5 and May 23, 2012; and the second run was between November 15 and January 15, 2013 with different students. According to the findings regarding orientation needs; at the beginning of the semester when the first group of questionnaires was handed out, students may have attached importance to needs like accommodation and health and wished to reach information on their departments quickly. Towards the end of the fall semester, on the other hand, they might have needed to get information about personal development for themselves. As for the findings about personal development; it could be said that newly enrolled students attach importance to career planning skills and several issues of personal development (dealing with stress, making decisions, effective time management, etc.). Students continuing their education may have had needs in this direction, albeit fewer in number. According to academic consultancy findings; EU students may not be satisfied with academic consultancy services provided in a general sense and it can be asserted that students do not benefit from their academic consultants very much. ÖzetBu araştırmanın amacı, Ege Üniversitesi (EÜ) öğrencilerinin oryantasyon ve akademik danışmanlık hizmetleri ile ilgili gereksinimlerini belirlenmektir. Araştırmanın evrenini (N=48975) EÜ Bornova Yerleşkesi’nde 2012-2013 eğitim-öğretim yılında öğrenim gören öğrenciler, örneklemi (n = 1387) ise üniversiteye yeni kayıt yaptıran hazırlık ve birinci sınıf öğrencileri (n=8177) arasından ve 1. sınıftan başlayarak 6. sınıfa değin EÜ’de öğrenimlerine devam eden öğrenciler (n=40798) arasından uygun örnekleme yoluyla seçilen öğrenciler oluşturmuşlardır. Örneklemdeki yeni kayıt yaptıran öğrenciler (n=352) ile öğrenimlerine devam eden öğrenciler (n=1035) 12 fakülte, 4 yüksekokul ve 3 meslek yüksekokulu öğrencileridir. Öğrenimlerine yeni başlayan öğrencilere oryantasyon, öğrenimlerine devam eden öğrencilere ise akademik danışmanlıkla ilgili anket uygulanmıştır. Uygulanan anketler iki farklı zamanda uygulanmışlardır. Birinci uygulamalar 5 Mayıs – 25 Mayıs 2012 tarihleri arasında ve ikinci uygulamalar 15 Kasım – 15 Ocak 2013 tarihleri arasında farklı öğrencilere yapılmıştır. Oryantasyon gereksinimi ile ilgili bulgulara göre; birinci uygulamaların yapıldığı dönem başlarında öğrenciler barınma-sağlık gibi temel gereksinimlerine önem vermiş ve bölümleriyle ilgili bilgileri hızla öğrenmek istemiş, güz döneminin sonuna doğru ise kendilerini geliştirmeye yönelik bilgileri öğrenmeye daha çok gereksinim duymuş olabilirler. Kişisel gelişimle ilgili bulgulara göre özellikle yeni kayıt yaptıran öğrencilerin kariyer planlama becerileri ve çeşitli kişisel gelişim konularına (stresle başetme, girişkenlik, karar verme, etkili zaman yönetimi gibi) önem verdikleri söylenebilir. Daha az olmakla birlikte, öğrenimlerine devam eden öğrencilerin de bu yönde gereksinimleri olduğu söylenebilir. Akademik danışmanlık gereksinimi ile ilgili bulgulara göre; genel olarak, EÜ öğrencilerinin akademik danışmanlık hizmetlerinden memnun olmadıkları ve öğrencilerin akademik danışmanlarından çok yararlanamadıkları söylenebilir.
