“…Diversity includes educational level, living, work experience, socio-economic background, income, religious beliefs, being disabled, working time in orginasations, personality and marital status (Griffin ve Moorhead, 2010;Magoshi ve Chang, 2009;Lopez, 2008;Rijamampianina ve Carmichael, 2005;Williams ve O'Reilly, 1998). Esty, Griffin and Hirsh (1995) also describes the diversity as a situation arising from the concepts among people like age, class, ethnic origin, gender, physical and mental ability, race.…”

The aim of this research is to examine the effect of perceived diversity climate on general satisfaction of university students. The research was done with relational survey model. 273 students having education in Dicle University Ziya Gökalp Faculty of Education and Faculty of Thelogy constituted the working group. Research data were collected with ‗diversity climate' and ‗general satisfaction' scales. Data were analyzed by setting up structural equation modeling. It has been seen that goodness of fit indexes of set model are among the range standart value. In the research, It has been determined that perceived diversity climate has effected the general satisfactions of university students positively and significantly. It is also confirmed that perceived diversity climate has explained the general satisfaction of university students in a significant level. In accordance with these results it can be said that it is important for the universities aiming to increase the general satisfaction of students to produce qualified policies related to student diversity.

In this study, the self-directed learning (SDL) processes of children who have never used a computer before were examined within the cultural context they live in. In accordance with the subject of the research, a village, located in a rural area of the Southeastern Anatolia region in Turkey, where crucial digital divide and low socioeconomic conditions exist, was chosen to reach the children who have not used a computer before. By using a “cognitive ethnography” research design, the cultural foundations of cognitive processes were evaluated and authentic data were obtained. The research includes a long-term participatory observation over a period of two summer terms in accordance with the nature of ethnographic studies. The research group consists of 46 children, ages 6 to 11. Throughout the research, the children were elaborately observed on how they managed to organize their SDL process without any guidance when they were left with computers. In the process, children’s learning and how they had been affected by the guidance and collaborative work were examined by giving them simple clues, asking them questions to foster curiosity, and allowing them to form groups. The observation process has spread to many moments of the day, such as students’ social environments, living conditions at home, and learning processes at the computer. Open coding and axial coding methods were used in data analysis. As a result of the study, it was observed that demographic variables, guidance, and ethnocultural characteristics have a significant impact on children’s learning behaviors. The research findings show that: (1) In the SDL process, unconscious explorations and trial and error gradually give way to conscious reasoning, (2) The SDL process becomes more effective with some guidance focusing on the needs of a student and collaborative learning, (3) Girls mostly preferred word processing and drawing applications, while boys preferred games and research on the Internet, (4) Although boys display a more confident and dominant attitude towards computers, girls have used applications effectively throughout the process, and (5) The older age group, especially accustomed to the cultural and classroom authoritarian approach, had difficulty in getting used to the SDL autonomy at the beginning. Details in research findings present vital data within the context of the impact of cultural background on the educational processes and evaluating this impact in terms of education programs.
