Abstract

Turkey’s higher education and scientific research authorities have categorized the country’s universities as innovative and entrepreneurial universities, research universities, or regional development-oriented universities, and have encouraged them to work in the corresponding direction. With COVID-19, digitalization has become an exceptionally prominent issue in higher education. The European Commission has declared digitalization in higher education to be a priority area. With these factors in mind, a digital research faculty model has been developed for Istanbul University Faculty of Economics, using 20 peer faculty websites to establish proof of concept. This model can be adapted to the university as a whole in a more general framework or to a particular department in a narrower context. The model has five components: (i) It is informed by ideas and discourse in online education, education 4.0, web 3.0, micro badges, digital transformation, research concepts, the Bologna Process, qualification frameworks, 21st century skills, core competencies, accreditation, and institutional evaluation; (ii) it proposes new generation offices and committees in line with the new education paradigm; (iii) it implements metrics related to digitization, stakeholder engagement, research faculty, online education, graduate profile, and governance model; (iv) it engages in a communication strategy with internal and external stakeholders; and (v) it establishes a governance model that will embody and implement the new approach. The model has been implemented on the basis of 20 peer faculties, but could be expanded for use by the entire university or narrowed for the benefit of a specific program

Özet

Türk üniversiteleri son birkaç yıldan bu yana YÖK’ün ve TÜBİTAK’ın geliştirdiği yenilikçi ve girişimci üniversite, araştırma üniversitesi, bölgesel kalkınma odaklı misyon üniversitesi olarak gruplandırılmakta ve bu yönde çalışma yapmaya özendirilmektedir. Covid-19, dijitalleşmeyi öncelikli hale getirmiştir. Avrupa Komisyonu da yükseköğrenimde dijitalleşmeyi öncelikli alan ilan etmiştir. Bu çalışmada, yükseköğrenimde dönüşüm boyutları ışığında, İÜ İktisat Fakültesi için bir dijital araştırma fakültesi modeli geliştirilmiştir. Bu modelin daha genel çerçevede üniversiteye veya daha dar kapsamda bölüm bazında da uyarlanabileceği değerlendirilmektedir. Modelin ilk bileşeninde çevrimiçi eğitim, eğitim 4.0, web 3.0, mikro rozetler, dijital dönüşüm, araştırma konsepti, Bologna Süreci, yeterlilik çerçeveleri, 21’inci yüzyıl becerileri, çekirdek yetkinlikler, akreditasyon ve kurumsal değerlendirme boyutları dikkate alınmıştır. Modelin ikinci bileşeni, yeni eğitim paradigmasıyla uyumlu olarak yeni nesil ofisler ve komitelere ilişkindir. Modelin üçüncü bileşeni, dijitalleşme, paydaş katılımı, araştırma fakültesi, çevrimiçi eğitim, mezun profili ve yönetişim modeline ilişkin metrikleri kapsamaktadır. Modelin dördüncü bileşeni, çeşitli boyutlara ilişkin olarak iç ve dış paydaşlarla iletişim stratejisine ilişkindir. Modelin beşinci ve son bileşeni yeni yaklaşımı somutlaştırarak uygulayacak yönetişim modelinin kurgulanmasına ilişkindir. 20 akran fakülte bazında uygulaması yapılan modelin bir bütün olarak yükseköğrenimde dönüşümü uluslararası trendlere paralel olarak sağlayacak bir yapıya, esnekliğe ve dinamizme sahip olduğu değerlendirilmektedir.
