Türkiye'deki Üniversitelerin Konumlandırma Kriterleri Üzerine Nitel Bir Araştırma

Year 2015, Volume: 5 Issue: 2, 91 - 102, 01.08.2015

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, Türkiye'deki üniversitelerin konumlandırma faaliyetlerinde ön plana çıkan boyutları incelemektir. Bununla birlikte, eğitim kurumlarının konumlandırılmasında önemli bir faktör olan eğitimin niteliği açısından Türkiye'deki üniversitelerin kendilerini konumlandırdıkları boyutlar incelenecektir. Nitel araştırma deseninin kullanıldığı çalışmada doküman inceleme tekniğinden faydalanılmıştır. Araştırmanın evrenini, Türkiye'deki 193 devlet ve vakıf üniversitesi oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma verileri, üniversitelerin web sitelerinde yer alan tanıtım videoları incelenerek elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler, içerik analizi tekniği kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, Türkiye'deki üniversitelerin konumlandırma çalışmalarında ön plana çıkan boyutların öğrenci yaşamı, üniversitenin bulunduğu şehir ve verilen eğitimin niteliği olduğu belirlenmiştir. Üniversitelerin vermiş oldukları eğitimin niteliği açısından ise konumlandırma boyutlarının yabancı dil eğitimi, mesleki başarı, iş bulma olanakları, burs olanakları, uluslararası faaliyetler, uygulamalı eğitim, akademik kadro ve kütüphane olanakları olduğu saptanmıştır.
