Türkiye’deki Akademisyenlerin Kültürel Sermayeleri

Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’deki akademisyenlerin ailelerinden edindikleri kültürel sermayelerini araştırmaktır. Tarama deseninde tasarlanan çalışmanın verileri 14,215 akademisyenden elde edilmiştir. Sonuçlar, akademisyenlerin yarıdan fazlasının annesinin, üçte birinin ise babasının ilkokul veya altı eğitim seviyesinde olduğunu, üçte birinin dört ve üzeri çocuklu ailelerden gelmekte olduğunu ve erken çocukluk dönemlerini köy veya kasabada geçirdiğini ortaya koymuştur. Yine her dört akademisyenden sadece biri okul öncesi eğitim almıştır. Akademisyenlerin ailelerinden edindikleri kültürel sermaye mirasları oldukça düşük olup kadın akademisyenlerin kültürel sermayeleri erkek meslektaşlarından anlamlı olarak yüksektir. Kültürel sermayesi en yüksek akademisyenler hukuk ve mimarlık, planlama ve tasarım alanlarından olup en düşük olanlar ise ilahiyat ile ziraat, orman ve su ürünleri alanlarındadır. Bu sonuçlarda hareketle gelecekteki çalışmalarda, kültürel sermayenin akademik performansa etkisinin değerlendirilmesi önerilmektedir.

The Cultural Capital Levels of Turkish Academics

The aim of this study is to investigate the cultural capital of academics in Turkey acquired from their families. The study employed a survey design, and the data of the study were obtained from 14,215 academics. Regarding the educational level of the parents of the academics, the results revealed that more than half of their mothers and one-third of their fathers had a primary school degree or lower level of education. One-third of them grew up in families with four or more children, and they spent their early childhood periods in a village or a small town. Moreover, only one out of every four academics received pre-school education. The cultural capital of academics received from their families is relatively low, and the cultural capital of female academics is significantly higher than their male counterparts. The academics with the highest cultural capital are in the fields of law, architecture, planning, and design, while the lowest ones are in the fields of theology, agriculture, forestry, and aquaculture. Based on these results, it is recommended to evaluate the effect of cultural capital on academic performance in future studies.
