An Analysis on the Status of Physics in Higher Education In Turkish Universities Between 2018 and 2023
Öz
The field of physics has long been facing the issue of not being preferred by undergraduate students, as seen in all fundamental sciences such as chemistry, biology, and mathematics. This study examines the current situation of physics departments in universities offering formal education in our country, specifically focusing on the period between 2018 and 2023. Statistical information regarding the admission of undergraduate students, occupancy rates, changes in quotas, and the reopening or closure of physics departments in private and state universities providing formal education in our country during this period has been analyzed. This analysis has been conducted to evaluate the current reflection of the general trend that began in the second decade of the 2000s, which almost halted undergraduate student admissions in basic sciences in many universities in our country.
