Yükseköğretimde Küresel Bir Değişim: Girişimci Üniversite Modeli

Üniversiteler, küreselleşme ve uluslararasılaşmanın yarattığı sosyal ve ekonomik değişimlerden etkilenmekte ve işlevleri, sorumluluk alanları, organizasyon yapıları, fon yaratma yetenekleri de bu değişime yanıt vermektedir. Günümüz bilgi toplumunda küreselleşmenin de yarattığı ivme sayesinde girişimci üniversite, şirket üniversitesi, sanal üniversite gibi yeni üniversite türleri ortaya çıkmıştır. Yükseköğretimde artan rekabet ve kitlesel eğitim talepleri üniversiteleri yeni kaynak arayışlarına iterek, girişimci bir niteliğe dönüştürmektedir. Neo-liberal eğitim anlayışının yükseköğretimdeki yansımaları üniversiteleri öğrenci odaklı, küresel kalkınmaya uygun eğitimi amaçlayan, girişimci ve yaratıcı insan kaynağı üreten ve buna uygun eğitim programları geliştiren birer kuruma dönüştürmüştür. Bu çalışmada, girişimci üniversite modelini yaratan ve geliştiren temel etkenleri ve nedenleri araştıran literatür üzerinden kapsamlı bir değerlendirme yapılacaktır. Çalışmanın amacı, literatür sentezine dayalı olarak, girişimci üniversite modelinin dinamik süreçlerini tanımlayan bir çerçeve oluşturmaktır. Çalışmanın katkısı, Türkiye için girişimci üniversite modelinin uygulanabilirliğini sonuç olarak ortaya koyabilme iddiasına bağlı olacaktır. Çalışmada, girişimci üniversite modeli karşılaştırmalı bir yaklaşımla “üçlü sarmal” olgusu ile analiz edilecektir
