Educatio n
is the most important power showing the development level of a society since
centuries. Today, the power showing the development of the societies is the
knowledge level of the university graduates. Universities are very important
educational institutions in terms of both the students they train and the way
they lead the society. While the mission of universities is determined by
academicians, the first step of the academicians is the postgraduate education.
In order for the academicians to fulfill the duties expected from them, they
need to have a good postgraduate education. There are a number of factors
affecting the quality of the postgraduate education. From this point of view,
the aim of this study is to determine the problems experienced by the
postgraduate education students during their education. In the study,
phenomenological research method among qualitative research methods was used in
the study. Face-to-face interviews were held with 30 students studying in
postgraduate education at the Institute of Social Sciences in Erzurum Ataturk
University. As a result of the study, it was determined that the majority of the
participants are female and in the age group of 25-30 years, most of them were
civil servant, 18 were graduate students, 12 were doctoral student and the
participants were studying in postgraduate education for one or two years. The
students wanted to continue academic career after completing the education
period, most of them experienced educational problems, a great majority of them
started to their education consciously, their thoughts about the postgraduate
education before the education were still continuing, most of them were in the
thesis stage of the postgraduate education and experience research-related
problems at this stage. It was concluded that the majority of the participants
felt often stuck and depressed, but they still did not consider to leave the
postgraduate education and they expressed that they would receive postgraduate
education again if they come to the world again. The participants believed that
there were differences between the postgraduate education and their own
education understanding and they stated that there are problems related to
educational deficiencies in Turkey and the quality of postgraduate education
should be enhanced. Based on the results obtained from the study, it can be
recommended to find out and eliminate the problems experienced in postgraduate
education and to support the graduate students in both material and spiritual
areas.
