Educational Needs Of Families In Turkey
Age. Family members’ levels of finding themselves competent in all of the matters
relating to economy and levels of eagerness for taking part in training differ according
to the age groups. Family members in the small age groups have higher levels of eager-
ness for taking part in training compared to participants with older ages. This finding
indicates that family members in small age groups are more eager for taking part in
training to be organized in the matters relating to economy. For that reason, it can be
said that educational programs to be developed must be prepared mostly to meet educational
needs of the family members in small age groups. On the other hand, family
members in older age groups must be encouraged so as to ensure their participation in
training.
Educational background. Results relating to educational background present significant
clues regarding how educational programs must be prepared for families. Those
feeling themselves most incompetent in all of the matters relating to family economy
are illiterate family members. This group is also the one most reluctant in the matter of
taking part in education. On the other hand, individuals feeling themselves most competent
in the matters of economy are those having postgraduate training that also have
the highest levels of eagerness for taking part in training to be organized. At this point,
the most important problem is how people not having received training can be encouraged
to receive training and how they will be enabled to take part in training.
Income level. While competence perception of families regarding dimension of
economy changes according to income levels, eagerness for training does not differ.
While family members having higher levels of income consider themselves more competent
in the matters of economy, family members in the lower income groups consider
themselves more incompetent.
Profession. Participants’ levels of finding themselves competent in the matters relating
to economy differ significantly in all of the dimensions according to different profession
groups. Accordingly, farmers and unemployed people feel themselves more
incompetent in the matter of economy compared to civil servants, workers, selfemployed
people, housewives and people in other professions. Civil servants constitute
group feeling themselves most competent.
