Journal Title: Journal of Human Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 14, Issue 2

Abstract

This study aimed to reveal the relationship between these variables (expectation, perception, satisfaction) that have an influence on the motivation of tourism education at undergraduate and associate degree. The research population consisted of 2827 students registered at the Faculty of Tourism and at the Vocational Schools in the University of Akdeniz. The sample of the study comprised 1098 students.As a result of the study, a significant and positive relationship was detected between expectation, perception, satisfaction, and motivation levels of the students receiving associate and undergraduate degree tourism education. However, it was found that educational expectation had more influence on educational motivation than perception and prediction. In addition, it was detected that associate degree tourism students’ mean values for the variables of expectation, perception, satisfaction and motivation were higher than the students receiving undergraduate level education.
