TÜRKİYE YÜKSEKÖĞRETİMİNDE ARAŞTIRMA ÜNİVERSİTESİKAVRAMINI ANLAMAK: KARŞILAŞTIRMALI ANALİZ

2018-12-03
The concept of world-class university has taken its place in country’s agenda as a result of globalization, univer-sity rankings and internationalization with respect to shaping higher education policies. This concept has been-launched with the Research University Initiative by the Higher Education Council in Turkey in 2016. The initia-tive aimed to classify Turkish universities starting from the Research category. Considering the quantitative increase in Turkish higher education within the last 20 years, the number of higher education institutions dou-bled in comparison to 1990s; for quality research, education and community service, there needs to be more work to be done. Can the Research University Initiative lead the way for more quality in higher education? This paper aims to present comparative analysis on world-class university initiatives or projects in different coun-tries and to evaluate the initiative in Turkey by considering the recent higher education policies. Both the com-parative analysis and Salmi’s (2009) world class university framework showed that the higher education policies developed after the initiative was not supportive of creating world class university on these topics: having tal-ented faculty members, selecting talented students to those Research universities, abundant resources for rich learning and research environment, academic freedom, autonomy and regulations.
