COVID-19 Pandemisi Sürecinde Üniversitelerin Uzaktan Eğitim Kapasiteleri

Çin’de ortaya çıkan COVID-19 pandemisi bütün dünyayı geniş çapta etkiledi ve etkilemeye de devam etmektedir. Pandeminin getirileri eğitim kurumlarına da derinden yansıdı. Türkiye’de ilk, orta okul ve lise düzeyinde okullarla birlikte üniversitelerde de öğretim uzaktan ve alternatif eğitim yöntemleri ile yürütülmeye çalışılmaktadır. Bu bağlamda bu çalışmanın temel amacı; COVID-19 pandemisi sürecinde üniversitelerin uzaktan eğitim kapasitelerinin belirlenmesi ve değerlendirilmesidir. Böylece, bu çalışmanın Türk üniversitelerinin uzak- tan eğitim kapasiteleri değerlendirilmesi ve mevcut sürece ilişkin gerçekçi bir durum tespitiyle yükseköğretim sistemine ve uzaktan eğitim uygulamalarının geliştirilmesine katkı sağlaması beklenmektedir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda çalışmada öğrenci sayılarına göre 20’si devlet üniversitesi 10’u vakıf üniversitesi olmak üzere toplamda 30 üniversitenin uzaktan eğitim kapasiteleri, insan kaynakları, yazılım ve donanım altyapıları, bütçeleri ve gelecek projeksiyonları incelendi. Çalışma verileri, çalışma kapsamında geliştirilen ‘Uzaktan Eğitim Kapasitesi Değerlendirme Formu’ kullanılarak elde edildi. Araştırmanın bulgu ve sonuçları ise Türkiye’deki üniversitelerin uzaktan eğitim kapasitelerinin -insan kaynakları, donanım ve yazılım alt yapıları ve kapasiteleri, içerik üretim kapasiteleri, sınav alt yapıları ve kapasiteleri ve bütçeleri açısından- düşük ve yetersiz olduğu gösterdi. Ek olarak üniversitelerin uzaktan eğitim merkezlerinin yeterliliklerinin üniver- site türü, büyüklüğü ve yaşı açısından anlamlı olarak farklılaşmadığı görüldü. Bu çalışma, yükseköğretimde uzaktan eğitimin geleceğinin şekillendirilmesi ve benzer acil durumlarda başvurulması açısından politika yapıcılara veri temelli uygulamalar için yol ve yöntemler sun- maktadır.

Distance Education Capacities of Universities During the Covid-19 Pandemic Process

The COVID-19 pandemic emerging in China has affected and continues to affect the whole world widely. The returns of the pandem- ic were deeply reflected in educational institutions. In Turkey, along with primary, secondary and high schools, instruction in univer- sities is tried to be carried out by distance and alternative education methods. In this context, the main purpose of this study is to determinate and evaluate distance education capacities of universities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, this study is expected to contribute to the higher education system and the development of distance education applications by evaluating the distance education capacities of Turkish universities and determining a realistic situation regarding the current process. In line with this pur- pose, the distance education capacities, human resources, software and hardware infrastructures, budgets and future projections of 30 universities, 20 of which are state universities and 10 foundation universities, were examined according to the number of stu- dents. The data were obtained using the “Distance Education Capacity Assessment Form” developed within the scope of the study. The findings and results of the research showed that distance education capacities of universities in Turkey, in terms of human re- source, hardware and software infrastructure and capacity, content capacity, test infrastructure and capacity and budgets- were low and inadequate. In addition, it was observed that qualifications of the distance education center of the universities did not dif- fer significantly in terms of the type, size and age of the university. This study offers policy makers alternatives and methods for da- ta-based applications in terms of shaping the future of distance education in higher education and applying in similar emergencies.
