AN EXAMINATION OF PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED IN TRANSPORTED EDUCATION

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the research conducted on the problems encountered in transportation education and to provide suggestions for solutions based on the findings regarding the problems faced by administrators, teachers, students, and parents. The research method used in this study is literature review, and the scope of the study is based on articles, theses, and books published in the literature related to transportation education. Document analysis was used as the data collection tool. During the data collection process, articles and theses published in the literature related to the research problem and sub-problems were searched online, and books related to the topic were examined. The data obtained from the documents were organized as the problems encountered by administrators, teachers, students, and parents in schools where transportation education is provided, and these data were compared by correlating them. Based on the data obtained during the research, it was found that the problems encountered by administrators include transportation services, meal services provided to students, and the extra workload imposed by the system. Teachers within the education system can face many difficulties, including heavy duties such as shift work, extra workload imposed by the system, and communication problems with parents. Students can also experience problems related to transportation services and meal services provided. Particularly in schools providing transportation education, parents may face difficulties in terms of distance from their homes to the schools and the lack of transportation opportunities for some parents.
