A person may suffer alienation from oneself, society, the workplace, or the living environment. Alienation of the individual is an issue that increasingly causes alienation from society, and education constitutes one of the foci of alienation. It is crucial both theoretically and practically to determine the alienation levels of students, investigate the causes of alienation, and advance possible solutions. In this context, research was conducted during the fall semester of the 2017–2018 academic year to determine the alienation levels of students studying in different departments of the Anadolu University Tourism Faculty. In this study, a quantitative approach and a descriptive research model were applied. The Student Alienation Scale was used as a data collection tool to investigate whether students’ alienation levels differed by variables such as gender, department, class, and income level. In conclusion, it was found that students experience moderate alienation along all subdimensions of alienation, namely, powerlessness, irregularity, isolation, and meaninglessness. The results of this study may help the Anadolu University Tourism Faculty administration to take precautions to prevent further student alienation. |
