INTERNATIONALIZATION IN HIGHER EDUCATION: NAVIGATING GLOBAL CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES CONFERENCE, Samsun, Turkey, 25 - 27 October 2024, pp.48, (Summary Text)
International university students begin to live in a
different country and culture and become involved in the education process.
They go through many difficult processes in order to fulfill the requirements
of the university education process and successfully complete the department
they study. In this process, it is important to examine their life satisfaction
and adaptation processes. Ondokuz Mayıs University is one of the pioneers of
internationalization in higher education in Turkey with more than 5 thousand
international university students. Therefore, investigating the life
satisfaction of international students studying at Ondokuz Mayıs University
will both support the quality of university education and reveal their
satisfaction levels. As a result, this research examines the basic needs that
affect the life satisfaction levels of international university students, the
anxiety of learning Turkish as a second foreign language, and the effect of
university belonging. The data obtained from the study will increase the
quality of life and university satisfaction of international students studying
at Ondokuz Mayıs University, as well as show the needs and levels of belonging
of international students in higher education in Turkey.
