Abstract

ABSTRACT The present study aims to address the lack of nation-wide exploration of ergonomics of translation in Turkey and to build psychosocial and physical ergonomics awareness among translation students. Our research design encapsulated two projects. An initial project, a nation-wide survey, provided an overview of the situation in Turkey in relation to ergonomics of translation. The second project, conducted within the framework of a course designed to build ergonomic awareness, was a multi-method action research project involving interviews, direct observations and project-based learning. In the first phase of the project, the 20 senior students enrolled in the course administered a survey to 250 translators as part of a field research project, also involving semi-structured interviews during workplace visits. In the second phase, students completed a translation project, simulating a real market situation and exposing them to the challenges of organisational ergonomics. Our study highlights a lack of common standards and awareness in the field of ergonomics in Turkey. It revealed that students’ reports reflected clear benefits from direct interactions with the market actors and the observation of ergonomic conditions in the field. The insights from such a course can equip students with the knowledge and skills required for professional life.
从翻译市场到翻译课程:土耳其的心理和生理工效学
摘要本研究旨在解决土耳其翻译工效学在全国范围内缺乏探索的问题,并在翻译学生中培养心理和身体工效学意识。我们的研究设计包含了两个项目。最初的一个项目是一项全国性调查,概述了土耳其在翻译工效学方面的情况。第二个项目是在一个旨在培养人体工程学意识的课程框架内进行的,是一个多方法的行动研究项目,涉及访谈、直接观察和基于项目的学习。在该项目的第一阶段,作为实地研究项目的一部分,该课程的20名高年级学生对250名翻译进行了调查,还包括在工作场所访问期间进行的半结构化面试。在第二阶段,学生们完成了一个翻译项目,模拟了真实的市场情况,并使他们面临组织工效学的挑战。我们的研究强调了土耳其在人体工程学领域缺乏共同的标准和意识。研究表明,学生的报告反映了与市场参与者的直接互动以及对该领域人体工程学条件的观察带来的明显好处。这门课程的真知灼见可以让学生掌握职业生活所需的知识和技能。
