Abstract

In this research, the effects of globalization at the higher education level were examined by using "Critical Discourse Analysis". For this purpose, the "editorial introduction", "preface" and "executive summary" sections of the reports of national and international organizations were analysed using the critical discourse analysis (CDA) method. Open, axial and selective coding was used in the analysis of the texts together and separately. As a result of open coding, a total twenty-nine codes were obtained. As revealed by the axial codes, it can be said that the tendency of “objectification”, “market-centred acting”, “formation from outside towards inside”, “homogenization” and "formation from top towards bottom” was observed. When the common points of the categories formed as a result of axial coding are examined, it can be said that there is a connection on the basis of isomorphism.

Özet

Bu araştırmada küreselleşmenin yükseköğretim düzeyindeki etkileri “Eleştirel Söylem Analizi” kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Bu amaçla ulusal ve uluslararası kuruluşların raporlarının “editoryal giriş”, “önsöz” ve “yönetici özeti” bölümleri eleştirel söylem analizi (CDA) yöntemi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Metinlerin birlikte ve ayrı ayrı çözümlenmesinde açık, eksenel ve seçici kodlama kullanılmıştır. Açık kodlama sonucunda toplam yirmi dokuz kod elde edilmiştir. Eksenel kodlama sonucu “nesnelleşme”, “piyasa merkezli hareket etme”, “dıştan içe doğru oluşum”, “homojenleşme” ve “yukarıdan aşağıya doğru oluşum” eğilimlerinin ortaya çıktığı görülmüştür. Eksenel kodlama sonucunda oluşan kategorilerin ortak noktaları incelendiğinde, izomorfizm temelinde bir bağlantı olduğu söylenebilir.
