  • Expectations- Satisfaction- Needs of the Faculty of Fine Arts Students
    Expectations- Satisfactions- Needs of the Faculty of Fine Arts Students from the Design Programs and Solutions Eylem Tataroglu1 Abstract: It is clear that changeability of this situation concerning being the “producer” and “conscious consumer” individuals, as almost in every respect, fundamentally could be provided with qualified training, the other suitable conditions and use the economic resources suitably. Since this research focuses on the training aspect, the suitable conditions and resources are defined mostly with the training environment, the existing technology, environment and family facts. These facts are evaluated with the youths being center of the training or the students, depending on them and directly related to them. Considering the importance of the technology in the field of design and fast transformation of the animated cinema, it is obvious that current situation is quantitatively insufficient. In addition, when the ideals of the youths studying at design are also taken into consideration, it is thought that not only quantitatively, but also qualitatively the current situation falls short of meeting the expectations. The vision of Başkent University in the art and design education being candidate to share the honor proven in the science was evaluated regarding the current educational environment, instructors, course contents and environmental factor and opportunities with the ideals of the students registered to the Graphic Design Program dependent on the Department of Visual Arts and Design; the results related to the ideals of students and the success of the program and suggestions regarding the solution of the current problems were evaluated. It is thought that the study will serve as a base search and needs analysis and it could be assessed as data in all the improvements which will be made for faculty.
