DELPHİ TEKNİĞİ UYGULAMA SÜRECİNE YÖNELİK ÖRNEK BİR ÇALIŞMA: ÇOK FONKSİYONLU TARIM OKURYAZARLIĞI

Bu çalışmanın amacı, farklı alanlardan uzmanların uyum içerisinde sürece dahil oldukları veri toplama yaklaşımlarından biri olan Delphi Tekniğinin i) kısa tarihçesi, kullanıldığı alanlar, avantaj ve dezavantajları ile hizmet ettiği amaçlar hakkında genel bilgi vermek, ii) uygulama sürecinde yer alan uzmanların oluşturulma kriterlerini ve veri toplama sürecini aşamalı bir şekilde aktarmak, iii) her bir Delphi turunda yapılabilecek veri analizlerini, Çok Fonksiyonlu Tarım Okuryazarlığı çalışmasında deneyimlenen süreç üzerinden açıklamaktır. Çalışma, ulusal ve uluslararası alanyazında Delphi Tekniğini kullanmak isteyen araştırmacılara kaynak oluşturması, süreçte karşılaşılan problemler ve bu problemlere çözüm önerileri sunması açısından önemli olmasının yanı sıra, tekniği kullanacak olan araştırmacılara pratik ve sistematik bir yaklaşım da sunmaktadır.

A CASE STUDY REGARDING THE APPLICATION PROCESS OF DELPHI TECHNIQUE: MULTI-FUNCTIONAL AGRICULTURE LITERACY

The purpose of the study is i) to give general information about the brief history, areas of use, advantages and disadvantages of the Delphi technique, which is one of the data collection approaches that include experts from different fields in the process in harmony, and the purposes it serves, ii) to state the criteria to determine the experts who are included in the application process of the technique and the data collection process of the technique in stages, iii) to explain the data analyses to be performed in each Delphi round over the process experienced in the Multi-Functional Agricultural Literacy study. In addition to being important in respect of creating resources for researchers who want to use the Delphi Technique in the national and international literature, the problems faced in the process and proposing solutions to these problems, the study also offers a practical and systematic approach for the researchers who are going to use the technique.
