Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the post-graduate theses conducted in Turkey about distance education of the disabled individuals in terms of methodological trends, type of the study, examined disability types, subjects, course areas, and variable types. For this purpose, post-graduate theses listed in national theses database centers of Council of Higher Education of Turkey were reviewed, and as a result of this review, 14 post-graduate theses were analyzed. The content analysis method was used as a research methodology in this study. Theses downloaded from the national theses database center were analyzed using the analysis forms prepared by the researchers. Consequently, it was observed that the first thesis about the distance education of the disabled individuals was conducted in 1986, and there was a slight increase in the number of theses during the 2000’s. Besides, it was observed that quantitative and qualitative research methods were mostly used in the theses. It was also determined that the sample groups of the studies were mostly formed by mentally disabled individuals. It was found that the theses were mostly at the master of science level and mostly conducted in computer science departments. In addition to this, it was seen that the studies were mostly conducted in Trakya and Anadolu Universities. Finally, as a result of this study, it was found that the number of studies about the distance education of disabled individuals was low, and some suggestions were made for the interested researchers.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’de engelli bireylerin uzaktan eğitimi konusunda yapılan lisansüstü tezlerin yöntemsel eğilimlerini, türlerini, tezlerde incelenen engel durumlarını, konularını, ders alanı ve değişken türlerini belirlemektir. Bu amaçla Türkiye Yükseköğretim Kurulu Başkanlığı (YÖK) ulusal tez merkezinde yer alan lisansüstü tezler taranmış ve on dört adet lisansüstü tez analiz edilmiştir. İçerik analizi yönteminin kullanıldığı bu çalışmada ulusal tez merkezinden indirilen lisansüstü tezler araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan analiz formu kullanılarak analiz edildi. Çalışma sonucunda, engellilerin uzaktan eğitimi ile ilgili yapılan ilk tezin 1986 yılına ait olduğu ve 2000’li yıllarda az da olsa tez sayısının arttığı görülmektedir. İncelenen tezlerde en çok nitel ve nicel araştırma yöntemlerinin kullanıldığı belirlenmiştir. Tezlerin örneklem grubunu ise en çok zihinsel engelli bireylerin oluşturduğu tespit edildi. İncelenen tezlerin en çok yüksek lisans tezi düzeyinde ve bilgisayar mühendisliği anabilim dalı bünyesinde gerçekleştirildiği görülmektedir. Ayrıca, çalışma sonucunda yapılan tezlerin en çok Trakya ve Anadolu Üniversitelerinde yürütüldüğü görülmektedir. Sonuç olarak, konu ile ilgili yapılan lisansüstü tez sayısının az olduğu belirlenmiş ve araştırmacılara yönelik çeşitli önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
