Özet:

In this study, the language and speech therapy department has studied the student’s effective communication perceptions of selfishness and the level of perception of the future of career. The sample of the study consists of 172 language and speech therapy department students with an average age of 21,89 who are studying at a Foundation University in Istanbul. 142 of the participants are women (82.6%) and 30 are men (17.4%) The Mini Mental Status Test has been implemented in order to identify the participants to be involved in the study. The Career Future Scale has been used to measure the effectiveness of communication in the fields with 25 points and above from the test and to measure the perceptions of the future of career. In addition to general demographic information, the information that the participants have chosen or not by their own wishes, the beliefs of post-graduate job finding and whether they have career plans has been obtained using the Demographic Information Form. Analysis found that those who have a career plan have a high level of perception of the future of their career. The overall score of fourth-class students’ career future scale and the psychomotor self-qualification scale towards effective communication has been higher than the other students. This result shows that students are able to develop effective communication skills with both the courses they receive over the years and the increased knowledge of the department’s job opportunities, and that this situation has a positive impact on students’ perceptions of their career future. As a result, when the intervariable relationships are studied, it has been found that the subdimensions of the Effective Communication Self-Development Inventory are linked in a positive direction with the subdimensions of the Career Future Scale. The findings are discussed in the light of literature.
