During the last decades the number of universities extending their initial education and teaching missions towards the triple helix and knowledge triangle paradigms, e.g. knowledge and technology transfer and innovation has increased substantially. In line with this evolution the term ‘entrepreneurial university’ became increasingly popular however until recently there is hardly a common understanding of ‘entrepreneurial universities’. The main perception of ‘entrepreneurial universities’ rests with a visible and measurable contribution of universities to innovation and entrepreneurship in a broader sense. Although this perception is plausible and convincing it raises many open questions which mainly point to university governance models. The innovation and entrepreneurial university paradigm requires a holistic view on university governance approaches which include the full set of universities missions and respective management routines. In this respect it’s of utmost importance that universities keep a “healthy balance” between their missions. This statement is frequently used in many instances yet thus far there is no clear indication what a “healthy balance” implies. The chapter provides first indications about entrepreneurial university governance and respective management approaches.

Technology adoption of medical faculty in teaching: Differentiating factors in adopter categories ZAYIM, Nese; Yıldırım, İbrahim Soner; SAKA, Osman (2006-01-01) Despite large investments by higher education institutions in technology for faculty and student use, instructional technology is not being integrated into instruction in higher education institutions including medical education institutions. While the diffusion of instructional technologies has reached a saturation point among early adopters of technology, it has remained limited among the mainstream faculty. This investigation explores instructional technology usage patterns and the characteristics of med...
Online distance education: a new approach to industrial design education Öztürk, Elif; Ünlü, Canan Emine; Department of Industrial Design (2010) Today, the impact of information technologies on education field is ever more clarified with the integration of new tools and methods to the education. Education has been becoming away from the traditional classroom environment through virtual environment. Besides education of theoretical disciplines, education of practice based disciplines, like design related disciplines are moving toward virtual environments. One of these is Industrial Design (ID) education which also has made the transition to the virtu...
Symposium: ICT4D and the learning sciences Evans, Michael A.; Johri, Aditya; Glasson, George E.; Çağıltay, Kürşat; Pal, Joyojeet; Sorcar, Piya (null; 2008-06-28) Over the last two decades, the learning sciences have contributed immensely to curricula-based learning in formal environments. Recently, there is an increased emphasis on learning that occurs outside formal institutions, especially through the use of technology. Design experiments and design-based research have resulted in several innovations and in an overall conception of designing and researching new learning environments. Not surprisingly, technology has been a critical component of research and teachi...
ICT Teachers Professional Growth Viewed interms of Perceptions about Teaching andCompetencies Çakır, Recep; Yıldırım, İbrahim Soner;( Abstracts: Technology integration into the classroom has a major role in creating rich learning and teaching environments. It is obvious that the success of the effective use of technology in classrooms highly depends on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) teachers who are responsible for integrating technology and mentoring other teachers in using it successfully. However, it is unclear how ICT teachers play a role for the achievement of the integration process and what challenges they experience during this process. The purpose of this study is, therefore, to portray the professional growth of ICT teachers in terms of their perceptions of teaching and their competencies in the Turkish elementary education system. Data was obtained from 104 (55 female, 49 male) ICT teachers. The quantitative data analysis was supplemented with a qualitative analysis to get a better understanding of the professional growth among in-service ICT teachers. Results showed that despite their positive self-perceptions of competence, ICT teachers faced difficulties such as classroom management, number of students, and hardware-software issues regarding the effective use of technology, especially cutting edge technology, in the classroom. According to teachers, the ability to integrate technology in the classroom was negatively affected by time limitations, poor design of Information Technology (IT) class, lack of flexibility in their roles as teachers, overcrowded classes, and classroom management issues. Finally, this study looked at ICT teachers’ opinions regarding factors that encourage/discourage them from working in schools. The results of this study also shed light on the awareness of the significance of integrating technology into their teaching and learning activities. ; 2013-03-01) Technology integration into the classroom has a major role in creating rich learning and teaching environments.

Mediated Effects of Technology Competencies and Experiences on Relations among Attitudes Towards Technology Use, Technology Ownership, and Self Efficacy about Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge Yerdelen-Damar, Sevda; Boz, Yezdan; Aydin-Gunbatar, Sevgi (2017-08-01) This study examined the relations of preservice science teachers' attitudes towards technology use, technology ownership, technology competencies, and experiences to their self-efficacy beliefs about technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK). The present study also investigated interrelations among preservice teachers' attitudes towards technology use, technology ownership, technology competencies, and experiences. The participants of study were 665 elementary preservice science teachers (467 fema...
