Özet:

This study aims to determine the experiences of immigrant students studying in the Istanbul Baylikdüzü district and their perceptions of the problems they encounter. Children are also affected by problems in the fields of health, safety, job finding and education. The level of education, economic status, social and cultural differences of immigrant families make it more difficult for immigrant children to adapt to their educational environments. The problems faced after immigration make immigrant children disadvantaged in their new countries. Differences in language, family, and culture can lead to problems in school and social life. Learning the feelings and thoughts of the families who have migrated to Turkey in recent period will contribute to the solution of the problems they experience. The research was carried out by the visual scan method of quantum research methods. The sample of the study is determined by the maximum variety sample method. The survey was conducted by researchers to 185 immigrant students studying in the state schools in Istanbul or Beylikdüzü district. The study found that immigrant students used alternative methods to solve the problems they encounter in the adaptation process, that they experience language learning and communication problems, that they are sometimes excluded, and that they are unable to establish friendship, despite being accepted in the educational environment and social life.
