In
recent years, the global developments in the
education systems and the acceleration of the communication era have
considerably triggered the improvement of the education and training programs
and tolls. It has been begun to use versatile education tolls and measurements
instead of one-way those. However, the
effects of the general failures in primary and secondary educations have been
considerably percieved in higher education. In order to explore the reasons of
these negative factors, they could be grouped three categoies such as the
student-oriented factors (i.e. the students’ socioeconomic, indivitual,
pysicological variables), the variable based on the convenience of the
classrooms and education tools (physical
environment) and the variables focused on
the academicians and the measurement techniques used by them. The primary data
used to analyze the negative effects including these factors were obtained from
the 150 students training at the collage of Agriculture of Ataturk University in
2010-2011. The principle component analysis (PCA)
was used to obtain the main factors affecting the students’ failure. According
to the results of the study, the factors affecting on the students’ failure in
higher education were listed in order to be the challenges of the conceptual
and communicative motivation, the lack of ability to study the rational course,
the wrong choise of the working area and the concern for the future, the lack
of the physical facilities at the faculty, the negative sensory impulses, the
incorrect measurement techniques deviating from the objectives of the course
outputs, the lack of the aplication realeted to the main course, and the lack
of the cognitive and behavioral communication. According to the results of the
study, the education planning and polycies based on the factors minimizing the
effects of the variables preventing the students’ success, and motivating their
success could be improved and applicated.
