Akademisyenlerin Değerlendirilmesinde Eğitim-Öğretim Becerilerinin Önemi

Year 2025, Volume: 15 Issue: 3, 605 - 608, 01.12.2025

Abstract

Bu görüş yazısı, üniversitelerin araştırma ve eğitim-öğretim misyonlarının birbiriyle iç içe olduğunu ve eğitim-öğretim becerilerinin akademik kariyer değerlendirmelerinde daha fazla ön plana çıkması gerektiğini vurgulamaktadır. Araştırma faaliyetleri eğitimi daha dinamik hale getirirken, canlı bir sınıf ortamı araştırmacıyı besler ve yeni fikirlerin gelişmesine katkıda bulunur. Böylece, iki faaliyet birbirleriyle bir sinerji yaratır. Öğrencilerin bilim insanlarıyla doğrudan etkileşimi, onların bilimsel düşünme becerilerini geliştirir ve gelecekteki bilim insanı ihtiyacını karşılamada önemli bir rol oynar. Ayrıca akademisyenler, toplumu ileriye taşımakla yükümlüdürler ve bu görevi en etkili şekilde sınıf ortamında yerine getirirler. Sınıf, öğrencilerin eleştirel düşünme, problem çözme ve yaratıcılık gibi becerilerini geliştirmeleri için bir platform sunar. Kaliteli bir öğretim süreci ise akademisyenlerin karmaşık bilgileri daha basit ve anlaşılır bir şekilde aktarabilme yeteneğini geliştirir ve böylece araştırma sonuçlarının daha geniş kitlelere etkili bir şekilde sunulmasını sağlar. Sonuç olarak, eğitim-öğretim faaliyetlerinin akademik değerlendirmelerde daha merkezi bir rol oynaması gerektiği belirtilmekte, bu yaklaşımın hem öğrenci başarısını hem de akademik ve toplumsal gelişmeyi destekleyeceği savunulmaktadır.

The Importance of Teaching Skills in the Evaluation of Academics

Year 2025, Volume: 15 Issue: 3, 605 - 608, 01.12.2025

Abstract

This opinion piece emphasizes that the research and teaching missions of universities are intertwined and that teaching skills should play a more prominent role in academic career evaluations. Research activities make education more dynamic, while a lively classroom environment nourishes researchers and contributes to the development of new ideas. Thus, the two activities create a synergy with each other. Students’ direct interaction with scientists enhances their scientific thinking skills and plays an important role in meeting the need for future scientists. Additionally, academics are responsible for advancing society, and they fulfill this duty most effectively in the classroom environment. The classroom provides a platform for students to develop skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. A quality teaching process enhances academics’ ability to convey complex information in a simple and understandable way, enabling research results to be effectively presented to a wider audience. In conclusion, it is stated that teaching activities should play a more central role in academic evaluations, and this approach is argued to support both student success and academic and societal development.
