ETT201 8TH INTERNATIONAL ISTANBUL TEXTILE CONFERENCE, İstanbul, Türkiye, 14 - 16 Nisan 2018
This study is an exploratory study to investigate the levels of recognition of the
most commonly used technical textiles terms for textiles branches by university
students in the department of Textile Technology. For this purpose, a series of
vocabulary lists related to each branch of the discipline were created by
interviewing the specialist and educated people in different branches of
textile. The levels of recognition are measured at five levels. Responses are
rated on the scale from 1 to 5: I have never heard it, I’ve heard it before but
cannot say anything about that, I can say a few words about it, I have enough
information to explain it and I know it exactly.
Keywords: technical textile terms, university students, recognition
