Özet:

 Although Turkey has some geopolitical advantages due to its geography, it can frequently encounter various problems due to the political instability of the states in the region. A large wave of migration to Turkey since March 2011 due to the civil war in Syria can be given as an example. As a result of these migrations, it has reach approximately five million by 2021. According to the data from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees UNHCR, Turkey is one of the countries hosting the highest number of refugees and asylum seekers worldwide. An important part of these refugees and asylum seekers is school-age children. Although studies have been carried out for foreign families and students in the last 10 years, it is seen that some problems continue. The research aims to reveal the problems of adaptation to the school of foreign students based on the experiences of school administrators and teachers and to propose solutions for these problems. Phenomenology, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the research. Phenomenology studies aim to understand and make sense of the experiences of individuals who experience a particular phenomenon. The study group of the research consists of 17 teachers Mathematics, Turkish, Science, and Social Studies working in secondary schools affiliated with the Kayseri Provincial Directorate of National Education and 7 school administrators working in different schools. The criterion sampling method was used to determine the study group. Participants were selected from among teachers working in schools and classrooms with foreign students. Semi-structured interviews were used as a data collection tool in the research. The data were analyzed with descriptive and content analysis, which is one of the qualitative data analysis techniques. The findings were interpreted with a holistic description and supported by direct quotations from the participants. As a result of the research, it was determined that the teachers thought that the education programs were not suitable for foreign students, foreign students had problems in in-class communication and they could not involve their parents in the process. In general, it was determined that the main problems experienced by foreign students are language, exclusion, absenteeism, family and financial problems.

 Türkiye bulunduğu coğrafya itibariyle birtakım jeopolitik avantajlara sahip olsa da bölgedeki devletlerin siyasi istikrarsızlıkları nedeniyle çeşitli sorunlarla sıklıkla karşılaşabilmektedir. Suriyede çıkan iç savaş nedeniyle Mart 2011den itibaren Türkiyeye yönelik gerçekleştirilen kitlesel göçler buna örnek olarak gösterilebilir. Bu göçler neticesinde Türkiyede geçici koruma altındaki yabancı uyruklu sayısı, 2021 itibariyle, yaklaşık beş milyona ulaşmış durumdadır. Birleşmiş Milletler Mülteciler Yüksek Komiserliği BMMYK verilerine göre Türkiye dünya çapında en fazla mülteci ve sığınmacı barındıran ülkelerin başında gelmektedir. Bu mülteci ve sığınmacıların önemli bir bölümünü ise okul çağındaki çocuklar oluşturmaktadır. Son 10 yılda yabancı uyruklu ailelere ve öğrencilere yönelik çalışmalar gerçekleştirilse de hala bazı problemlerin devam ettiği görülmektedir. Araştırmanın amacı okul idarecilerinin ve öğretmenlerin deneyimlerinden hareketle yabancı uyruklu öğrencilerin okula uyum problemlerine ve bu problemlere yönelik çözüm önerilerine ilişkin düşüncelerini ortaya koymaktır. Araştırmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden biri olan fenomenoloji kullanılmıştır. Fenomenoloji çalışmalarının amacı, belirli bir fenomeni deneyimleyen bireylerin deneyimlerini anlamak ve anlamlandırmaktır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu Kayseri İl Milli Eğitim Müdürlüğüne bağlı ortaokullarda görev yapmakta olan 17 öğretmen Fen Bilimleri, Matematik, Sosyal Bilgiler ve Türkçe ile farklı okullarda görev yapan 7 okul yöneticisi oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma grubunun belirlenmesinde ölçüt örnekleme yönteminden yararlanılmıştır. Katılımcılar yabancı uyruklu öğrencilerin bulunduğu okullar ve sınıflarda görev yapan öğretmenler arasından seçilmiştir. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmelerden yararlanılmıştır. Veriler nitel veri analiz tekniklerinden biri olan betimsel ve içerik analiziyle çözümlenmiştir. Bulgular bütüncül bir betimlemeyle yorumlanmış ve katılımcılardan edinilen doğrudan alıntılarla desteklenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda öğretmenlerin öğretim programlarının yabancı uyruklu öğrencilere uygun olmadığını, sınıf içi iletişimde yabancı uyruklu öğrencilerin sorunlar yaşadıklarını düşündükleri ve velileri öğretim sürecine dâhil edemedikleri tespit edilmiştir. Genel olarak yabancı uyruklu öğrencilerin yaşadıkları başlıca problemlerin ise dil, dışlanma, devamsızlık, ailevi ve maddi sorunlar olduğu belirlenmiştir.
