Five student research projects developed within the Department of Guidance and Psychological Counseling at Bursa Uludağ University Faculty of Education have been awarded support under the 2026 TÜBİTAK 2209-A University Students Research Projects Support Program.
The recognition of these projects, which were conducted by our students under the supervision of faculty members, represents an important contribution to strengthening the research culture within our department and encouraging students' active participation in scientific research activities.
The supported projects address a range of contemporary topics, including digital psychological help-seeking behaviors, career development, digital addiction, the psychosocial effects of technology use, and the recognition of micro facial expressions. These studies are expected to contribute to both the academic literature and the development of evidence-based practices in the field.
We congratulate our students and faculty advisors for their valuable efforts and wish them continued success in their research endeavors.
