Abstract:
The aim of this study was to evaluate school administrators' views on the level of noise in schools, noise sources and the effects of noise pollution. In the study, which was designed with quantitative research method, a simple survey model was used. The population consists of 1118 school administrators working in public primary, secondary and high schools in Sakarya province in the 2020-2021 academic year. 394 participants were reached using snowball sampling method. As the data collection tool, a 16-item questionnaire created by the researcher was used. The data were analyzed using statistical package software. Frequency and percentage values, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, and relative change coefficient were used in the analysis of the data. As a result of the research, administrators described the noise level in their schools as medium level. It was concluded that administrators are often disturbed by the sounds caused by the unpleasant behavior of students within the school, as well as the sounds caused by places such as construction, factories, workplaces, entertainment, and bazaars located in the surrounding area. It was determined that the administrators were aware of the effect of noise disrupting the school climate and faced the physical, physiological, and psychological negative effects of noise pollution on an individual basis.
