Evaluation of the Academic and Administrative Process in the Institutes of Educational Sciences of Universities
Öz
This study aims to understand the course of the academic and administrative processes in the institutes of educational sciences and reveal the problems encountered in these processes. Based on this objective, 23 institutes of educational sciences located in Turkey were reached. The entire population was included in the study conducted in survey research design. The study group consisted of a total of 98 administrators including 24 institute administrators (director and deputy directors) and 74 heads of division / heads of department in 23 institutes of educational sciences. The research data were collected by a questionnaire prepared by the researchers. The questionnaire contained a total of 64 items under the titles of administration, advisory services, official correspondence and announcements, personnel, physical facilities, student, cooperation, and the attractiveness of the institute. The analysis program SPSS was used in the analysis of data that were collected in approximately two months. Based on the findings obtained, the use of electronic information and information technology systems in institute correspondence, the accessibility of the institute director and deputy directors by faculty members, the actualization of advisor assignments in accordance with the regulations, the need for more support to the institute budget, and the representation of institute directors in the university administrative committee are the items with which the administrators agree most. However, the items with which the administrators agree least are the availability of separate classrooms for postgraduate programs and of appropriate physical conditions for academic activities in institutes, students’ knowledge of postgraduate regulations, cooperation with the institutes of educational sciences of other universities, the decrease in the interest in the institute programs, and gathering institutes under one roof.
