Proje Özeti

"After a tiring and long period of study, students who have just started university face some problems. Young people preparing for the university exam have high expectations before entering the campus gate. However, adapting to university life and the environment is not as easy as imagined. In this process, which corresponds to the 'emerging adulthood' period of the students, the individual's autonomy and independence from their parents occur (Arnett, 2007, Aquilino, 2006). The person begins to feel anxious with the adaptation problem he/she experienced at the university during his/her emerging adulthood. While the individual's own efforts are sometimes sufficient to reduce the level of anxiety, sometimes the person needs social support (Ersoy and Çürük, 2009). We noticed that the anxiety of the students in their first years at the university and the researches done to solve these concerns have expired. In this study, our aim is to focus on the social support needs and difficulties of students who are in their first years of university and to create a psychological counseling and guidance model that can be effective on the student in the adaptation period. That's why we created a Web-based sustainable psychological counseling model by making it compatible with the digital age. We will study this psychological counseling model on TEDU sample. We will try to help students through social media platforms and website in our study on students who started TED University in the 2020-2021 academic year. Before preparing online materials, by conducting needs assessment we aim to define psychological support needs of first year college students."
