Abstract
Bu çalışmanın amacı savaşın Suriyeli öğrencilerin akademik başarılarına olan etkileri hakkında genel bir görüşe ulaşmaktır. Hiç kimse savaşın çocuklar üzerinde doğrudan ve dolaylı etkileri olduğu gerçeğini inkâr edemez. Bunun yanı sıra, hiç kimse savaşlarda sadece askerlerin hedef olmadığı, aynı zamanda beraberinde toplumu oluşturan çocukların, kadınların ve hatta yaşlıların da hedef olduğu gerçeğini de inkâr edemez. Savaşlarda sosyal hayat biter, sağlık hizmetleri durur, eğitim hayatı biter ve hepsinden daha kötüsü masum hayatlar son bulur. Bu korkunç durumlar sonucunda, hayatta kalmayı başarsalar dahi çocuklar savaşın etkilerinden çok ağır şekilde zarar görürler. Aşırı depresyon durumundan dolayı gelecekte yapıcı bireyler olma şansları düşer. Tüm bu durumları dikkate alarak, Adana, Türkiye’de öğrenim gören Suriyeli ortaokul ve lise öğrencilerinin ders notlarını inceledik. Bunun yanı sıra, savaş kurbanlarının görüşlerine açıklık getirmek için katılımcıların ana dilinde, yani Arapça yarı yapılandırılmış bir sormaca uyguladık. Karşılaştırmalı betimsel araştırma yöntemi kullanarak, savaşın akademik başarıya olan etkilerini görme amacıyla, öğrencilerin Suriye’deki savaştan önceki ve sonraki ders notlarını analiz ettik.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to provide an overview of the effects of war on Syrian students’ academic success. No one can deny the fact that wars have direct and indirect effects on children. Besides, no one can deny the fact that not only soldiers are targets in wars, but also children, women, and even old people are, who altogether make a society. In a war, social life ends, medical life ends, educational life ends, and worst of all, innocent lives end. As a result of these dreadful conditions, children terribly suffer from the effects of war, even if they achieve to survive. Being highly depressed their chance of becoming constructive i

- The Effects of War on Syrian Refugees’ Academic Achievement 415 associated with a person’s contented stage and chances for a better life (Battle & Lewis, 2002). The students’ performance owns a critical function in providing competent and skillful graduates who will be strong leaders and work force for the country hence initiating the country’s economic and social enhancement. Academic success is one of the fundamental determinants regarded by companies in appointing workers particularly for the new graduates. Therefore, students have to try really hard to achieve good grades in the education process and to equip themselves for the coming chances in their future career, as well as to respond to the companies’ demands (Alos, Caranto, & David, 2015). Several studies have been conducted to define and analyze various determinants that influence academic success (Mushtaq, 2012; Kyoshaba, 2009); their findings explain students’ endeavors, education background (Siegfried & Fels, 1979; Anderson & Benjamin, 1994), families’ education level and income (Devadoss and Foltz, 1996), age, motivation, learning preferences (Aripin, Mahmood, Rohaizad, Yeop, and Anuar, 2008), attendance in courses (Romer, 1993), and entry qualifications as determinants having a vital influence on the students’ academic success in diverse settings. In other words, measuring students’ academic performance has obtained high consideration in previous research, as well as the determinants of academic achievement such as personal, social, economic, psychological, and environmental factors which highly affect the student performance, but showing difference from individual to individual and nation to nation (Mushtaq, 2012). The student performance is not only affected by students’ own virtues provided by the nature but also several determinants are contained. If we ask for a society economically and socially developed, we have to supply the students with a proper education opportunity (Daniyal, Nawaz, Aleem, Hassan). Those owning adequate fi
