Özet:

Migration is one of the facts that can be considered intertwined with human existence. Some countries take the lead in receiving migrating people due to their location or level of development. Turkey is one of these countries due to its geopolitical placement. In order to harmonize migrants with the society, certain adjustments need to be made in the education system. The situation becomes even more sensitive when it comes to children with a migratory background. The administrative approach followed in schools where refugee children attend can have an impact on their adaptation process and success. In this research, it was aimed to determine the studies conducted, problems experienced and suggestions for solutions in primary schools attended by refugee children in Turkey by consulting the opinions of school administrators. A qualitative approach was followed in the research and was designed with a case study design. In case studies, research and investigations are carried out in order to address the actual situation in depth. The study group of the research consisted of school administrators, and the criterion sampling method, which is one of the purposeful sampling methods, was used to form the group. As a criterion, school administrators working in the most crowded primary schools in terms of the number of refugee children in Nevşehir were selected. A semi-structured interview form was used to collect the data. The research data was analyzed by descriptive and content analysis, categories and codes were created from the participant responses, and the reliability of the findings obtained by including quotations from the participant opinions was tried to be ensured. The results of the research show that the majority of school administrators have taken initiatives to open integration classes and solve the language problem in their schools. It is seen that refugee children are faced with problems such as enrollment, absenteeism, cultural incompatibility, inability to adapt, lack of resources, uncleanliness, lack of parental interest, etc., with the language problem being in the first place. School administratorsfound the activities carried out to overcome the language problem especially useful for refugee children and suggested their continuity. It is thought that organizing and participating in artistic and cultural activities will be useful in solving the problems, and in-service trainings that are well planned and implemented based on the needs will be more effective.
