Abstract

In general, the needs analysis models in educational management processes have four stages: the organizational screening stage, the data collection stage, the data analysis/interpretation stage and the action stage. During the organization screening phase, it is necessary to identify potential issues that will arise in the needs analysis and to clarify problems. It aims to be able to see the big picture, identify stakeholders, explore informal powers and influences, reveal opinions, see new trends, identify new sources, situations whose supports are against it, identify limitations. The data collection phase is the phase in which information is clearly focused. It is determined at this stage who, which officials, will be investigated. This stage is a more formal research process. The goal is to decide which people and groups to collect information from. Determining the needs analysis is actually a system intervention. This intervention can be characterized as preparation for change in the organizational system with the needs of the organization, goals, expectations of people, competencies needed by a person and an organization in a common cluster, or new equipment. When determining the method to be used, it should be aimed to obtain the data in the highest quality way. The data interpretation stage is the most important stage in the design of education. By categorizing the data, needs, problematic areas and deficiencies are determined. At this stage, non-educational needs should also be included in the data. While logical results are obtained with concrete data, intuitions, emotions, opinions can also produce results that support these results. A synthesis of concrete data and tables with information about new and different ideas can reveal fruitful results. At the action stage, the design of the training will also become concrete along with the reporting of the analysis of the collected data. This stage is the last stage that completes the whole process. Key Words: Educational Management, Educational Needs, Methods of Analyzing Needs
