Abstract
THE MIGRATION PHENOMENON, THE EDUCATION OF REFUGEE CHILDREN AND THE INTEGRATION PROCESS OF SYRIAN REFUGEE CHILDREN TO THE TURKISH EDUCATION SYSTEM
The Turkish nation is a nation familiar with the migration concept as a result of its historical experience. After the civil war in Syria started in 2011, one of the primary agenda topics of the Turkish Republic’s agenda was “migration” and “refugee” issues. In this research, the concept of refugee, refugee children, Turkish teaching to Syrian refugee children, and the integration process of refugee children into the Turkish education system were examined.
For this purpose, by analyzing the concept of “immigration” and the naming in its extension, the effects of these concepts were tried to be observed through the example of Syrian refugee children. In addition, by trying to determine to what extent these effects affect the integration of Syrian refugee children into the Turkish education system, possible problems to be encountered in this context are also framed.
In the study, the difficulties experienced in teaching Turkish to refugee children were also identified and an evaluation of how these could be overcome was made. In order to overcome these difficulties, universal education strategies developed for refugee children are introduced.
