Within the scope of the research, 20 policy documents prepared by decision-making bodies such as the Turkish Presidency, ministries, CoHE, and public foundations in Türkiye were analyzed through content analysis. This study illuminates the intricate network of actors shaping the Internationalization of Higher Education (IoHE) landscape in Türkiye, with CoHE, universities, ministries, and public foundations collaborating closely. Through the neo-institutionalization lens, CoHE emerges as the linchpin, steering Türkiye's universities towards global integration, embodying the coercive isomorphism emphasized by the theory. Moreover, a spectrum of key institutions, including MoNE, the Ministry of Science, Industry, and Technology, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Interior, the YEE, and the TMF, play pivotal roles in Türkiye's IoHE landscape. The motivations of these entities, viewed through mimetic and normative isomorphism, blend to shape Türkiye's higher education internationalization efforts, as outlined by neo-institutionalization theory. Furthermore, the study underscores the rising significance of public foundations alongside traditional institutions in the IoHE realm. Notably, local institutions are adopting global behaviours, reflecting the mimicking pressures within Türkiye's higher education. However, despite Türkiye's substantial progress in higher education internationalization, a crucial gap emerges: the lack of a comprehensive roadmap defining the roles of all stakeholders. This gap, echoing the uncertainties of neo-institutionalization theory, underscores the need for a unified vision among Türkiye's diverse IoHE stakeholders.

In this study, doctoral postings in the developing countries with the highest scores on the Inclusive Development Index were examined in terms of diversity, equity, access, and inclusion. The study provided an internationalization perspective in terms of the reflection of diversity in PhD postings because one of the points emphasized in these postings was the encouragement of lecturers from different fields, countries, and cultures. Regarding equality, this study found that doctoral postings encourage collaboration and teamwork and support equality. This lets candidates with varied skills and backgrounds collaborate to address scientific and social issues. As a result of the research, it was revealed that items such as language proficiency, financial aid, and lack of tuition fees in PhD postings were used as important tools in attracting qualified early-career academics and doctoral students. Finally, this study revealed that PhD postings did not contain offensive or discriminatory language and that they were written inclusively.

The model of the study is correlational survey model. The research group consists of 194 students that took the graded Foreign Language courses at the faculty of tourism in a public university in Turkey. As a result of the research, it is found out that Foreign Language I and II courses and Foreign Language III, IV, V, VI courses are graded among themselves. Moreover, students' academic success scores of Foreign Language I and II courses are found to be significantly higher than those of other courses. Therefore, when a holistic evaluation is made in line with the limitations of the research, it can be said that Foreign Language I, II, III, IV, V, VI courses are not graded among themselves. It is recommended that the...

Nitel yöntem ve fenomenoloji deseni kullanılarak yapılan çalışmaya, amaçlı ve kolayda örnekleme yöntemleriyle seçilen 285 öğretmen adayı katılmıştır. Veriler, 2023-2024 akademik yılı bahar döneminde çevrimiçi bir anket aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. İçerik analizi ve beş adımlı veri analizi yöntemleri eşzamanlı olarak uygulanmış; dış uzman değerlendirmesi ve akran değerlendirmesi stratejileriyle çalışmanın inandırıcılığı arttırılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları, öğretmen adaylarının yapay zekayı, bilgiye hızlı ve kolay erişim sağlayan, öğretme ve öğrenme süreçlerine rehberlik eden destekleyici ve güçlü bir araç olarak algıladığını göstermektedir. Ancak yapay zekânın karmaşıklığı ve çok yönlülüğü, hem potansiyel faydalarını hem de zorluklarını beraberinde getirmektedir. Eğitimde yapay zekâ, öğretmen adayları tarafından yenilikçi ve değerli bir kaynak olarak algılanmakta, öğrencilere ve öğretmenlere önemli fırsatlar sunarken, dikkatli kullanılmadığında potansiyel riskler de barındırmaktadır. Ayrıca, öğretmen adayları yapay zekânın eğitimde büyük faydalar sağlayabileceğini, ancak etik sorunlara da yol açabileceğini belirtmektedir. Bu çalışma, yapay zekâ teknolojilerinin eğitimde etkili kullanımı için öğretmen adaylarının yapay zekâ okuryazarlık düzeylerinin artırılmasının önemini vurgulamaktadır. YZ’nin karmaşıklığı ve çok yönlülüğü ile ilgili algılar, bu teknolojinin eğitimde hem potansiyel faydalar hem de zorluklar sunduğunu vurgulamaktadır. Bu bulgular, öğretmen yetiştirme programlarında YZ odaklı derslerin hazırlanması ve uygulanması, YZ’nin etik kullanımına yönelik yönergelerin oluşturulması ve uygulamaya dayalı atölye çalışmaları düzenlenmesi gerektiğine işaret etmektedir. Eğitimcilerin güncel YZ gelişmelerinden haberdar olmaları için sürekli mesleki gelişim programları sunulmalı ve politika yapıcılar YZ’nin eğitimde kullanımını izlemek ve değerlendirmek için politikalar geliştirmelidir. YZ, eğitim süreçlerinde önemli bir destek sağlarken, dikkatli ve etik bir şekilde kullanılması gerektiği, aksi takdirde çeşitli riskler taşıyabileceği unutulmamalıdır. Bu çalışma, YZ’nin eğitimdeki rolünü daha iyi anlamak ve bu teknolojinin eğitimde etkin kullanımını sağlamak amacıyla gelecekteki araştırmalar için de bir temel oluşturmaktadır.

Bulgulara göre, yöneticilik deneyimi, lisansüstü eğitim, kıdem, yön belirleme konusundaki özgüven, dışadönüklük, duygusal dengelilik ve deneyime açıklık öğretmenlerin duygusal kimlik LEM'lerini artırmaktadır. Cinsiyet, medeni durum, kurumsal çevrenin kısıtlayıcılığı, rol belirsizliği, liderlik prototipleri, takipçilerin adanmışlığını kazanma, engelleri aşma, uyumluluk ve sorumluluk, öğretmenlerin duygusal kimlik LEM'ini yordamamaktadır. Çalışma aynı zamanda kurumsal çevrenin, rol belirsizliğinin ve liderlik prototiplerinin, bireylerin kişilikleri ve duygusalkimlik LEM'iyle eşleşen liderlik rollerine ilişkin algılarını değiştirmediğini bulmuştur. Hesapçı olmayan LEM, lisans derecesine sahip, yönlendirme konusunda kendine güvenen, uyumlu, sorumlu ve duygusal olarak istikrarlı niteliklere sahip öğretmenlerde daha yüksektir. Son olarak, deneyime açık ve birlikte çalıştıkları müdürler liderlik prototipleriyle uyumlu, erkek ve evli öğretmenlerin sosyal-normatif LEM'leri görece daha yüksektir.

The Turkish version of the American Council on Education’s [ACE] Mapping Survey, which was adapted by the authors, was used as data collection tool. Participants consisted of 12 experts and managers of the international relations offices of 12 state universities. The results indicate that the majority of respondents believe that the level of internationalization at Turkish universities is high and internationalization is most often undertaken to enhance reputation and rankings, attract successful faculty, researchers, and students, and prepare their students for the global economy. Moreover, the participants believe that their universities are internationalizing rapidly, international student recruitment is the top internationalization activity, and the international relations office [IRO], rector, and vice-rector do their best to internationalize. Moreover, the institutional commitment of participant universities to internationalization was found to be high. They carry out internationalization practices through administrative sub-units formed according to the type of internationalization activity and declare their internationalization activities and goals in missionvision documents or strategic plans. Their internationalization activities are internally/externally evaluated and internationalization efforts are encouraged by the senior management. Participant universities aim to increase the number of international students by setting certain goals and geographical targets, carry out their internationalization activities purposefully and include countries with shared historical and cultural heritage. Universities are expanding their cooperation and partnerships to include both Europe and the rest of the world.

International student mobility is becoming essential for scientific, technological, industrial, commercial, and political countries. While this increase made positive contributions to countries and students, on the one hand, it also caused students to encounter different problems. This study aims to investigate the reasons why international students choose Turkey, as well as their experiences and future career plans. This research is a qualitative research approach with a phenomenological design. This qualitative study used a semi-structured interview form as a data collection tool. In the study, it was found that they encountered language and communication barriers supported by the literature. In addition, international students think their education in Turkey will positively affect their future. They state that they can seize new opportunities in other countries thanks to the knowledge and experience they have gained from Türkiye. This study suggests that incorporating international student experiences into the existing body of literature would provide universities and administrators with valuable insights into the factors influencing students' decision to study in Türkiye, their experiences while studying there, and their future career aspirations.

In this period, distance education appeared as an inevitable solution. Even today, when the pandemic process is over and re-normalization has begun, online teaching environments have become such an indispensable part of education systems that it has been decided that a certain proportion of the courses will be conducted online in universities. For this reason, determining student experiences in online courses is important in planning the future of distance education. Since academic performance is the output of the teaching process, students' academic performance is one of the topics of interest in higher education research. There may be different factors affecting the academic performance of students in the distance education process, which imposes more responsibility on students and requires selfcontrol. This study aimed to examine the relationship of academic performance in the distance education with home infrastructure, student interaction, computer skills, academic satisfaction. This research is based on a large-scale study, "The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the lives of higher education students", examining the pandemic's impact on higher education student perceptions in 2020. It has been observed that home infrastructure has a significant impact on the student's academic performance. The infrastructure increases the interaction of the student. When home infrastructure is taken as a control variable, students' computer skills are the highest predictor of their perception of academic performance, followed by their online interactions and, finally, perceived satisfaction. Today, pandemic conditions are still ongoing. In addition, even as the pandemic ends, online education has become an indispensable part of our education system. Therefore, the findings of the research would be beneficial for the ongoing planning process.

This research is a descriptive case study and the data were collected through document analysis. The documents analyzed within the scope of the study are as follows: “Internationalization Strategy Document in Higher Education 2018-2022 (CoHE, 2017)”; “Research Project Report on Making Turkish Universities an Attraction Center for International Students in the Framework of Internationalization of Higher Education (Kadıoğlu & Özer, 2015)”; “Growth, Quality, Internationalization: A Roadmap for Higher Education in Turkey (Çetinsaya, 2014)”, “10th Development Plan 2014-2018 (T.R. Ministry of Development, 2013)” and “11th Development Plan 2019-2023 (T.R. Presidential Strategy and Budget Department, 2019)”. The content analysis method was used to analyze the data. The available evidence seems to suggest that the internationalization of higher education in Turkey has academic meanings in the sub-dimensions of education/training, institutional quality, research/publication, and human resources; cultural meanings in the sub-dimensions of cultural ambassador, diversity, and integration; political meanings in foreign policy, soft power, political closeness sub-dimensions and, finally, economic meanings in the sub-dimensions of human resources, growth, global competition, and economic mobility. There is overwhelming evidence corroborating the notion that the policies of recognition and visibility, mobility, internationalization, strategic planning, and student opportunities have been applied to the internationalization of higher education in Turkey. Overall, this study strengthens the need for the Internationalization of Higher Education Working Committee, which comprises all the stakeholders under one roof. The current data highlight the importance of continuous efforts to make the faculty members, students, and administrative staff competent in foreign languages.

International student mobility is becoming essential for scientific, technological, industrial, commercial, and political countries. While this increase made positive contributions to countries and students, on the one hand, it also caused students to encounter different problems. This study aims to investigate the reasons why international students choose Turkey, as well as their experiences and future career plans. This research is a qualitative research approach with a phenomenological design. This qualitative study used a semi-structured interview form as a data collection tool. In the study, it was found that they encountered language and communication barriers supported by the literature. In addition, international students think their education in Turkey will positively affect their future. They state that they can seize new opportunities in other countries thanks to the knowledge and experience they have gained from Türkiye. This study suggests that incorporating international student experiences into the existing body of literature would provide universities and administrators with valuable insights into the factors influencing students' decision to study in Türkiye, their experiences while studying there, and their future career aspirations.

In this period, distance education appeared as an inevitable solution. Even today, when the pandemic process is over and re-normalization has begun, online teaching environments have become such an indispensable part of education systems that it has been decided that a certain proportion of the courses will be conducted online in universities. For this reason, determining student experiences in online courses is important in planning the future of distance education. Since academic performance is the output of the teaching process, students' academic performance is one of the topics of interest in higher education research. There may be different factors affecting the academic performance of students in the distance education process, which imposes more responsibility on students and requires selfcontrol. This study aimed to examine the relationship of academic performance in the distance education with home infrastructure, student interaction, computer skills, academic satisfaction. This research is based on a large-scale study, "The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the lives of higher education students", examining the pandemic's impact on higher education student perceptions in 2020. It has been observed that home infrastructure has a significant impact on the student's academic performance. The infrastructure increases the interaction of the student. When home infrastructure is taken as a control variable, students' computer skills are the highest predictor of their perception of academic performance, followed by their online interactions and, finally, perceived satisfaction. Today, pandemic conditions are still ongoing. In addition, even as the pandemic ends, online education has become an indispensable part of our education system. Therefore, the findings of the research would be beneficial for the ongoing planning process.

This research is a descriptive case study and the data were collected through document analysis. The documents analyzed within the scope of the study are as follows: “Internationalization Strategy Document in Higher Education 2018-2022 (CoHE, 2017)”; “Research Project Report on Making Turkish Universities an Attraction Center for International Students in the Framework of Internationalization of Higher Education (Kadıoğlu & Özer, 2015)”; “Growth, Quality, Internationalization: A Roadmap for Higher Education in Turkey (Çetinsaya, 2014)”, “10th Development Plan 2014-2018 (T.R. Ministry of Development, 2013)” and “11th Development Plan 2019-2023 (T.R. Presidential Strategy and Budget Department, 2019)”. The content analysis method was used to analyze the data. The available evidence seems to suggest that the internationalization of higher education in Turkey has academic meanings in the sub-dimensions of education/training, institutional quality, research/publication, and human resources; cultural meanings in the sub-dimensions of cultural ambassador, diversity, and integration; political meanings in foreign policy, soft power, political closeness sub-dimensions and, finally, economic meanings in the sub-dimensions of human resources, growth, global competition, and economic mobility. There is overwhelming evidence corroborating the notion that the policies of recognition and visibility, mobility, internationalization, strategic planning, and student opportunities have been applied to the internationalization of higher education in Turkey. Overall, this study strengthens the need for the Internationalization of Higher Education Working Committee, which comprises all the stakeholders under one roof. The current data highlight the importance of continuous efforts to make the faculty members, students, and administrative staff competent in foreign languages.
Sosyal adalet insanların eğitim olanakları, sağlık imkânları gibi temel haklardan eşit şekilde fa... more Sosyal adalet insanların eğitim olanakları, sağlık imkânları gibi temel haklardan eşit şekilde faydalanmasını gerektirdiği gibi herkes için iş olanaklarının arttırılmasını, yaşam koşullarının düzeltilmesini kapsayan ekonomik, kültürel ve sosyal bir olgudur. Sosyal adalete yönelik veriler toplumlarda eşitsizliklerin ön planlara çıktığını göstermektedir ancak sosyal adaleti sağlamanın yolu da yine toplumdan geçmektedir. Bu bakımdan herkes için adalet ve eşitliğin vazgeçilmez bir hak olduğunun toplum tarafından benimsenmesi noktasında eğitim örgütlerine önemli görevler düşmektedir. Eğitimde sosyal adalet istisnasız bütün öğrencilerin eğitim fırsatlarından eşit şekilde faydalanması anlamına gelmektedir. Eğitimde sosyal adalet, yetersiz gelire sahip öğrencilerin eğitim fırsatlarından faydalanabilmesini içermektedir. Ayrıca eğitimde sosyal adalet, eğitime erişim başta olmak üzere tüm süreçlerde toplumsal cinsiyete dayalı eşitsizliklerin önüne geçilmesi anlamına gelmektedir. Buna ek olarak, öğrenme güçlüğü çeken öğrencilerin tespit edilmesi ve bu öğrencilerin tamamının nitelikli eğitim ihtiyaçlarının karşılanması eğitimde sosyal adaletin bir başka gereğidir. Benzer şekilde, eğitimde sosyal adaleti sağlamak, farklı etnik kökenlere sahip öğrencilerin eşit eğitim fırsatlarına sahip olmasını teminat altına alınmasıdır. Adaletsizliklerin, toplumsal eşitsizliklerin ve ayrımcılıkların yeniden üretildiği çevrelerden biri de eğitim örgütleridir. Bu noktada eşitsizlikleri yeniden üretilmesinin önüne geçecek, istisnasız tüm bireylere adaletli davranacak, fırsat eşitliğini sağlamak için mücadele edecek sosyal adalet liderlerine ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır çünkü sosyal adalet liderleri okulların havasını sosyal adalet bağlamında geliştirecek önde gelen etkenlerden biridir. Eğitimde sosyal adalet liderlerinin okul içerisindeki ve çevresindeki dezavantajlı öğrencileri desteklemesi beklenmektedir. Onların eğitimsel kazanımlarının engellenmesini durdurmak adına bir takım uygulamalar yapması tavsiye edilebilir. Bu anlamda okul içerisindeki ve çevresindeki eşitsizlikleri azaltmak için öğretmenlerin ön plana çıkarılması faydalı olabilir. Öğretmenlerin sosyal adaleti önleyici davranışları ve çalışmaları desteklenebilir. Aynı zamanda eğitimde sosyal adalet liderlerinin öğrencilerle ve aileleriyle iletişim ve etkileşim içerisinde olması faydalı olabilir. Sosyal adaleti sağlayacak farkındalıkların yaratılması açısından okullarda çeşitli etkinlikler planlanabilir. Bu etkinlikler yoluyla dezavantajlı öğrencilerin okulun tamamıyla bütünleşmesi, kaynaşması desteklenebilir. Yerelde bu etkinliklere katılımın arttırılması hedeflenebilir. Bu etkinliklerin tüm çevreye duyurulması ve destek toplanması toplumsal farkındalığının arttırılmasında önemli rol oynayabilir.

Bu nedenle denetimi kamu yararı adına gerçekleştirilen ve süreçleri sürekli geliştirmesi beklenen bir süreç olarak görmek faydalı olacaktır. Aynı zamanda denetim yönetim süreçlerinden değerlendirmenin bir aracı olarak da görülebilir. Bu nedenle bir örgütte benimsenen yönetim anlayışı ile denetim anlayışı arasında bir paralellik bulunmaktadır. Eğitim denetiminin amacı ise okullarda sürdürülen eğitim, öğretim ve yönetim faaliyetlerinin özüne, amacına uygun uygulamaları ve süreçleri desteklemek ve ortaya çıkarmaktır. Bu bölümde eğitim denetiminin okullarda çoğunlukla uygulanan ders denetimi ve kurum denetimi çeşitleri üzerinde durulmuştur. Eğitim-öğretim süreçlerini sürekli geliştirmesi beklenen denetim faaliyetlerini yerine getiren okul yöneticileri ve öğretmenlerin birtakım yeterliklere ve rollere sahip olması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada öğretmenlerin ve okul yöneticilerinin okul ve sınıf yönetiminde liderlik, rehberlik ve öğreticilik, yöneticilik, soruşturma, proaktiflik ve dijital olma üzerinde durulmuştur. Anahtar kelimeler: Denetim rolleri, liderlik, rehberlik ve öğreticilik, soruşturma, proaktiflik, dijital olma, dijital denetim

Also, in this study the dimensions of emotional intelligence which are closely related to social life and organizational systems will be considered in terms of chaos and complexity theories. At the same time in this study, how a situation that appears to be complex but has an order inside and has the potential to be directed with small interventions can be handled by a leader that has a high capacity of using his/her emotional intelligence will be scrutinised. Additionally, this study will present the advantages of some leader capabilities (such as personal and interpersonal relationships, stress management, adaptability, general mood, empathy, motivation and self-awareness) in the management of the organizations in the context of chaos and complexity theories. Last but not least, the effect of emotional intelligence level in the rising of new leaders will be mentioned in this study.

Employing an interpretative approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 17 women pursuing doctoral studies. The research explores their academic backgrounds, decision-making processes, socio-cultural influences, and the impact of role models on their pursuit of academic careers. Through thematic analysis, 591 preliminary codes were identified, leading to the identification of 8 key themes. Findings reveal that women's self-perception, characterized by traits like discipline and ambition, plays a pivotal role in their persistence in doctoral studies. Positive framing, including the academic environment, professionalism, role models, and support, contributes to their motivation and success. Conversely, negative framing, such as demotivating experiences and challenges in work-life balance, can hinder progress. Role models emerge as influential figures inspiring resilience and determination. The study suggests that addressing gender-specific challenges and promoting positive framing can enhance women's experiences in academia. The findings contribute to understanding the complex interplay of factors influencing women's academic journeys and provide valuable recommendations for fostering gender equality in academia.

First of all, I presented an overview of the National Education System. Then I provided an overview of higher education. I introduced the supervision services carried out in both structures and the bodies responsible for them. As a result, I revealed that MoNE supervises public and private educational institutions before higher education level with two bodies: the Board of Inspectors and the Internal Audit Unit. Supervisors in Turkey play a critical role in monitoring the implementation of the curriculum, supporting teachers, assessing teacher performance, ensuring compliance with regulations and policies, and identifying areas for improvement. Another result obtained from this study is that supervision studies in the Council of Higher Education (CoHE) are carried out by three bodies: the Higher Education Supervisory Board, the Internal Audit Unit, and the Turkish Higher Education Quality Council (THEQC). While the Higher Education Supervisory Board is an authoritative organization, its mandate does not include assessing the quality of individual courses or departments. The internal audit unit assesses if CoHE's resources are being used economically, efficiently, and effectively to meet its aims. As a result of THEQC's quality activities, universities set mission & vision; strategic plans; quality assurance policy, job descriptions, workflow charts, and alumni tracking systems. Quality assurance efforts enabled universities to start accreditation studies; and entered the internal and external evaluation processes. It should be noted that the separation of universities into research universities or the Regional Development-Oriented Mission Differentiation and Specialization Program in Turkey is also a result of quality assurance studies.

and present a map of internationalization of the participant universities. The Turkish version of the American Council on Education’s [ACE] Mapping Survey, which was adapted by the authors, was used as data collection tool. Participants consisted of 12 experts and managers of the international relations offices of 12 state universities. The results indicate that the majority of respondents believe that the level of internationalization at Turkish universities is high and internationalization is most often undertaken to enhance reputation and rankings, attract successful faculty, researchers, and students, and prepare their students for the global economy. Moreover, the participants believe that their universities are internationalizing rapidly, international student recruitment is the top internationalization activity, and the international relations office [IRO], rector, and vice-rector do their best to internationalize. Moreover, the institutional commitment of participant universities to internationalization was found to be high. They carry out internationalization practices through administrative sub-units formed according to the type of internationalization activity and declare their internationalization activities and goals in missionvision documents or strategic plans. Their internationalization activities are internally/externally evaluated and internationalization efforts are encouraged by the senior management. Participant universities aim to increase the number of international students by setting certain goals and geographical targets, carry out their internationalization activities purposefully and include countries with shared historical and cultural heritage. Universities are expanding their cooperation and partnerships to include both Europe and the rest of the world.
The available evidence seems to suggest that the internationalization of higher education in Turkey has academic meanings in the sub-dimensions of education/training, institutional quality, research/publication, and human resources; cultural meanings in the sub-dimensions of cultural ambassador, diversity, and integration; political meanings in foreign policy, soft power, political closeness sub-dimensions and, finally, economic meanings in the sub-dimensions of human resources, growth, global competition, and economic mobility. There is overwhelming evidence corroborating the notion that the policies of recognition and visibility, mobility, internationalization, strategic planning, and student opportunities have been applied to the internationalization of higher education in Turkey.
Overall, this study strengthens the need for the Internationalization of Higher Education Working Committee, which comprises all the stakeholders under one roof. The current data highlight the importance of continuous efforts to make the faculty members, students, and administrative staff competent in foreign languages.
