The division of Academic Affairs is the heartbeat of institutional transformation.  These leaders are responsible for stewarding the university’s intellectual and operational core while simultaneously navigating a complex ecosystem at the confluence of teaching, research, and service.  They are not just administrators; they are stewards of knowledge, creators of culture, and architects of the institution’s future.  However, their dual responsibilities for ensuring academic excellence and fostering innovation can produce conflicting demands, requiring a nuanced approach to leadership.  This document offers a reflection on leadership, scholarship, and transformative practices and suggests a comprehensive approach to advancing the work of Academic Affairs through intentional scholarship, adaptive strategies, and reflective practices.  The premise is simple yet profound: for Academic Affairs to lead effectively, it must embody the best qualities of the scholar-practitioners on our faculties, becoming leaders who can bridge theory and practice to create systems that are responsive, equitable, and innovative.

Introduction: Epilepsy has a lot of physical and psychosocial consequences for patients. The propose of this research was to determine the efficacy of cognitive behavioral group therapy (CBT) with focus on dysfunctional attitudes related to epilepsy on quality of life in patients with intractable epilepsy. Method: Twenty patients with chronic and poorly controlled seizures were randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. CBT during 8 weekly sessions was applied for the experimental group with a focus on cognitive restructuring, modification cognitive distortions and training of behavioral techniques. Quality of life in epilepsy scale (QOLIE-89) was applied as the pre-test, post-test and in the follow-up for both groups. Analysis of covariance was applied to analyze the data. Results: The data analysis showed that the mean scores of QOLIE-89 in experimental group significantly increased in post-test and follow-up as compared with those of the control group. Conclusion: Cognitive-behavioral group therapy with focus on dysfunctional attitudes, as a complementary therapy, has a remarkable efficacy on improvement of quality of life in epileptic patients.

Bourdieu'nün eleştirel teorisinin ABD akademisinde ve özellikle sosyolojide bu denli popüler olmasını açıklayan nedir? Bu makale iki cevabı değerlendirmektedir. Birincisi, Bourdieu'nün çağdaş topluma dair Marx, Weber veya Durkheim'ınkine benzer ölçekte ikna edici bir makrososyolojik açıklama sunmasıdır. Ancak yakından incelendiğinde Bourdieu'nün bu görevinde başarısız olduğu görülmektedir. Çalışmaları ne ampirik olarak desteklenen bir sınıf analizi ne de toplumsal yeniden üretim ya da toplumsal değişim üzerine bir açıklama sunmaktadır. Dolayısıyla, Bourdieu'nün popülaritesinin açıklamalarının gücünden kaynaklanamayacağı sonucuna varıyorum. Bununla birlikte, ikinci bir cevap daha var: Bourdieu'nün sosyolojisinin popüler olmasının nedeni, bugün ABD akademisindeki belirli toplumsal koşullardır. Entelektüellerin bir farklılık stratejisi izleyerek ödüller kazandığı, halk hareketleriyle örgütsel bağlarının pek olmadığı ve maddi çıkarlarının ayrıcalıklarını savunmaktan geçtiği bu bağlamda Bourdieu'nün sosyolojisi oldukça çekicidir. Akademisyenlerin yaşadıkları deneyimlerle etkili bir şekilde örtüşmekte ve onların en temel siyasi çıkarlarını dile getirmeye hizmet etmektedir.

In today's societies, entrepreneurship has undeniable effects on economic, social, and technological development of countries. In this regard, the Iranian food industry, which includes many specific features, including the vast domestic and regional consumption market, was considered by the researchers in this study. The purpose of this research is to investigate and identify variables and to explain the effective factors on the individual entrepreneurship process in Iran's food industry. In the first phase of the study, the survey team carried out semi-structured interviews with 13 experts in the domain of food industries. In the second phase of the study, a questionnaire based on the Grey DEM ATEL method is available to experts for determining priorities and interrelationships between the factors. Based on the research data, paired comparison analysis questionnai has been used. The findings of the research show that among the six categoriesindividual, personality, occupation, food industry environment, institutional, and environmental factorsthe environmental ones were the most influential factors. Also, the individual ones were the most influenced factors and at the same time the most important factor among the ones influencing the process of entrepreneurship in Iran's food industries.

Objective: Open source technological development has proven that innovation scales with the population of well-educated participants. Thus, to increase national innovation the number of citizens that acquire university educations should be maximized. An approach to this challenge is to offer free university education with open-source virtual classes. To quantify potential savings the objective of this study investigates the viability of offering free first year of university education in the U.S.

Methods: This study calculates total savings per year after accounting for the investments on a firstyear education nationally.

Results: The results found that development costs for 16 courses needed to make the transition to sophomore year possible for most of American university students and to ensure they are maintained indefinitely with an endowment is $160 million. To proctor the exams twice a year a block grant to each high school in the U.S. would be $6,400 and the total proctoring cost would be about $171 million. Together conservatively to serve all high school graduating seniors the total cost is $331 million, which is far less than 1% of the U.S. Department of Education annual budget. Savings, again conservatively only counting current American university students on tuition alone would be $46.3 billion/year and as the students could live at home, they would save an additional $17.4 billion/year. The savings minus the costs to provide openly accessible free freshman year of education for the entire U.S. public is $63.4 billion annually.

Conclusion: This approach would increase the university-educated population and increase national innovation rates, but future work is needed.

This article examines the changes in the trends of candidates who applied to, were placed in, and were not placed in higher education degree programs in Türkiye between 1997 and 2023. A macro-level descriptive and exploratory analysis of access to higher education is made based on transition statistics from secondary education to higher education. The demand for higher education in Türkiye has been consistently increased during the last century. The period between 1997 and 2023 is the most prominent phase of the higher education expansion policy, in which the number of universities and student placement quotas increased and there was a significant organizational and institutional expansion in different types of higher learning programs. In this article, this expansion process is questioned in terms of the structural characteristics and consequences of the tendency of candidates graduating from different high schools to enroll in different types of higher education programs. It is examined what kind of placement dispositions general high schools, selective high schools and vocational high schools reveal in higher education in this process. Besides this, it is analyzed which application profile candidate students have preferred different program types (associate degree, open and distance learning and undergraduate) over the years. The difference between the supply in higher education quota numbers and the number of students taking the higher education entrance exams remains wide over time. The high number of students applying for the exams has remained a pressure factor in accessing higher education over time. Schools defined as selective high schools have consolidated their dominantly successful position within the system compared to other high schools. The success rate of vocational high school graduates in higher education remained low, and those who were placed in higher education were mostly placed in associate degree programs. The share of graduates who have not been placed anywhere before has increased in recent years compared to high school seniors who have been placed in a higher education program. The increasing higher education quotas and the growth trend in this area have become stagnant after 2016. The stagnation in quota capacity in recent years can be seen as a sign of a return to the imbalance between supply and demand in higher education access in the pre-2007 period. Despite the expansion in access to higher education, Turkish higher education appears to continue to exhibit the supply-demand mismatch of recent decades.

Higher education stands at a pivotal juncture, facing rapid technological advancements, shifting student demographics, and evolving societal expectations. Traditional leadership models are often dependent on hierarchical structures and longstanding norms that are resistant to change, limiting institutions' ability to address today's complexities (Macfarlane et al., 2024). To navigate our changing landscape effectively, institutions must adopt transformative leadership approaches that foster innovation, inclusivity, and adaptability, taking a more progressive approach that aligns institutional practices with contemporary demands while ensuring that higher education remains a catalyst for personal and societal growth.

In response to the contemporary challenges faced by higher education (and the world)—such as socioenvironmental polycrisis, rapid technological advancements, and the rise of pseudoscience—a team of researchers from Una Europa Future UniLab explored the subject of the “Relevance of the universities” in the future. Rather than attempting a comprehensive analysis, we focused on developing an innovative toolkit for thinking about universities, incorporating metaphors, thought experiments, and doughnut economic models.
Metaphors, such as universities as "launchpads" or "jungle gyms," provided diverse perspectives on the institution’s role, while contrasting metaphors—like the classical concert versus the jam session—highlighted two extreme models of university organization. Thought experiments, such as imagining AI-driven software replacing human teachers, offered a means to explore the impact of new technologies on teaching and learning. The doughnut economic model, emphasizing sustainable and just development, was adapted to explore universities’ functions within societal and ecological boundaries. In this presentation we would like to share the results of our work that took place during the whole year 2024.

This paper investigates the ethical dimensions of wasteful spending within organizations, contrasting it with fraud, which may not always inflict as much long-term harm despite being more readily identified. The study examines waste across sectors like healthcare, government, and education, encompassing issues such as bureaucratic inefficiencies, exorbitant executive compensation, and the misallocation of resources. It underscores the ethical dilemma between short-term gains and long-term sustainability, emphasizing that leaders frequently prioritize immediate results and public perception over responsible stewardship, leading to choices that jeopardize long-term viability. Examples like corporate mismanagement and infrastructure neglect demonstrate how waste diminishes organizational effectiveness and breaches fiduciary duties. While fraud involves deliberate deception, the study asserts that waste, often arising from negligence or mismanagement, can be equally or more detrimental to an organization's sustainability and the interests of its stakeholders. The paper advocates for stronger oversight mechanisms, such as appointing waste-prevention officers, and emphasizes the moral obligation to utilize resources efficiently to benefit present and future generations.

While internationally scholars have surveyed “management education in the era of globalisation” with reference to challenges and prospects within the context of HEIs, there is unquestionably a dearth of research investigation in the Pacific. The purpose of this paper is to discover the interconnection between globalisation and management education and draw from the review of the literature and the theoretical underpinnings, present the way forward in the milieu of a developing island state.

Excellence and frontier research have made inroads into European research policymaking and structure political agendas, funding programs and evaluation practices. The two concepts travelled a long way from the United States and have derived from contexts outside of science (and policy). Following their conceptual journey, we ask how excellence and frontier research have percolated into European science and higher education policies and how they have turned into lubricants of competition that buttress an ongoing reform process in Europe.

This project is an extension of a research project investigating faculty attitudes toward faculty diversification in higher education. Results from the faculty investigation indicated that 27% of the respondents ‘did not know’ if faculty diversity initiatives would benefit student outcomes (Rawls, 2020). In analyzing stakeholder power and influence, the natural next step was to identify student thoughts on the subject. Research indicates that students from marginalized communities' benefit from representation, validation, and support of their worldview from faculty mentorship with a demographic or experiential alignment. To Keep or Not to Keep: Openended items Students indicated they did not prefer the openended items however the open-ended items yield rich information about student perspectives on the value of diversity. In your opinion, how would increased faculty diversification impact student outcomes at your institution? Please describe how you think increased faculty diver...

The growth and development of potential in nationally targeted industries based on the "Thailand 4.0" strategy requires highly skilled labor in specific areas to build new knowledge and competitive capacity in global competition. The formulation of policy, systems, and mechanisms in workforce production and development was the qualified mechanism for attracting and promoting talent to support the systematic mobilization of the national economy. Therefore, this research was aimed at studying the issues and recommendations regarding the roles of Thai higher education institutions (HEIs) in attracting foreign talent to work in Thailand as the mobilization of competitive capacity in main economic sectors and industries. This study was conducted using the constructivist research paradigm and the phenomenological research strategy. The key informants were representatives from 23 organizations whose roles involve talent attraction from foreign countries. Informants were selected through the purposeful sampling method and participated in in-depth interviews. Data were analyzed using content analysis and ensured by triangulation. Issues in attracting foreign-born talent to work in Thailand were summarized based on the findings and classified into three dimensions: (1) bridging gaps of national policies; (2) supporting industry development; and (3) integrating mechanism. Thai HEIs can perform their roles based on the identified components to formulate the policy and develop the talent attraction system. Future research should focus on implementing these recommended strategies in diverse contexts to assess their effectiveness and further refine approaches for attracting international talent to Thailand.

Mobile applications have been rapidly changing the way business organizations deliver their services to their customers and how customers can interact with their service providers in order to satisfy their needs. The use of mobile applications increases rapidly, and has been used in many segments including banking segment. This research aims at extending the Technology Adoption Model (TAM) to incorporate the role of factors in influencing customer's perception towards M-banking adoption. Furthermore, the extended TAM model was evaluated empirically to measure its impact on M-banking adoption in of Bahrain. The model was evaluated using a sample survey of 372 customers. The results reveal that the intention to adopt mobile banking is mainly affected by specific factors which are: Perceived Usefulness and Ease of Use. On the other hand, some factors such as perceived cost and perceived risk did not show any affect on the users' intention to use mobile banking. The result of th...

This paper reports on an exploratory study of the role of programme leaders (PLs) in a pre-1992 university, based on interviews with PLs (7) and a survey of taught Masters students (54) in a single school. The study elicits PLs' activities, most of which might be categorised as managerial and administrative, with leadership required intermittently; the preeminent role is in managing programme quality. The study finds that institutional guidelines overlook important aspects of PLs' work (such as organising enrichment activities and student advocacy) which affect the quality of provision; and findings challenge the notion that PLs are engaged in a 'disesteemed' service.

This paper examines the three-way connection between league tables, student choice of university and university facilities, a topic area that has so far seen little research. In the decade since highlighted the links between university facilities and students' choice of institution, changes in technology and the rise of league tables render an update necessary. The empirical research focuses on one top league university with a 1960s campus, using a mixed-method approach, including results from the annual York University Student Union survey (results of a survey with 2,382 responses, and 3,500 focus group comments) and from research carried out by one of the authors (a survey with 331 responses and 144 comments from focus groups. Results from the Unite Student Experience Report 2012 (based on 1,236 responses) were also used. The influence of league tables on students' choices was strongly confirmed. There are expectations that 'premier league' institutions come with top class facilities. Students whose expectations of their institution's facilities are not met, may vent their disappointment via national satisfaction surveys (such as the National Student Survey in the UK). There has been little research about the connection between league tables, student choice of university and university facilities. This paper makes a start on a three-way connection and maps out the field for further research.

In UK higher education institutions, facilities management performance tends to be measured in space utilisation and space cost. A new approach uses the 'return on investment' (ROI) concept of income generation to highlight space performance at faculty/department/building level.

A number of different models have been developed to integrate both vocational education and training (VET) and university study with a view to producing work-ready graduates. This paper describes one joint initiative which allows students to integrate their theoretical study and work-integrated (WIL) experience by supporting a sequential, embedded accomplishment of qualifications across both VET and university with a single higher education enrolment. Students in the dual-sector degrees have welcomed the skill-based practical work involved with VET education while learning the theoretical concepts of their university education. The need for a more seamless engagement with VET and university study is becoming more urgent and there are a large number of possibilities to explore, particularly relating to the differences in processes and philosophies between the VET and university sectors. This paper identifies some of the key issues and proposes some solutions.

The paper is about teachers’ reflection on and evaluation of continuous professional training and development. It is a qualitative survey, grounded in narrative inquiry framework of educational research with the assumptions that humans are social storytelling organisms. With a convenient sampling technique, 619 responses were received from 778 participants. Adopting a participant-centred mode of teaching, participants evaluated the workshop in their own words. With a human cognition of thinking, learning, and understanding, comments were classified into Bloom’s (1956) three learning domains of cognitive, affective, and skills combined with Perry & Booth’s (2021) concept of evaluating facilitators and workshop organizations and Kirkpatrick’s (1998) four levels of evaluation. Participants insisted that this workshop be extended to other schools to build the required foundation for students. They mentioned also that their exposures to contemporary instructional strategies meet the globally acceptable standards and are challenged as 21st century teachers. Participants maintained that they would go back to the classroom with different mind-sets to include learners during lesson planning.

This article collected the results of a qualitative study focused on Colombian Higher Education Institutions' representatives partaking in the training 'Internationalisation for Peacebuilding 2018'. The selected Higher Education Institutions and representatives were all located in regions acutely affected by the Colombian armed conflict, now experiencing multifaceted challenges and opportunities in a post-conflict scenario. Interviews with participants of the training were conducted to analyse the skills acquired and to identify possible improvements brought about by the training at the institutions. The article further identifies specific needs of the institutions, to be taken into account for future courses on internationalisation for higher education institutions.

This study aims at investigating the relationship between teacher competence and student academic achievement mediated by both intrinsic and extrinsic motivations. The respondents of this study are 115 high-school students in Gorontalo city, to whom questionnaires were distributed to acquire data, which was analyzed using path analysis in SmartPLS. The results of the analysis indicate that teacher's competence does not influence the extrinsic motivation of students to study. However, teacher competence directly influences student's academic achievement because it raises the intrinsic motivation of students to study. In addition, intrinsic motivation mediates the effect of teacher's skill on student academic achievement, while extrinsic motivation does not mediate any relationship.

The present study will attempt to achieve this double objective — to gain an insight into the fundamental structures of educational behaviour in order to help explain the inertia that has weighed against educational reform. We will seek to penetrate everyday practice in Belgian primary education. The choice of the primary school as the object of study reflects not only the background to the research project but also the ferm belief that the essence of educational intervention is most clearly revealed at those levels at which educationalisation has penetrated most effectively. The period covered by the study has also been carefully selected. It runs from 1880 to 1970 and thus takes in the years in which the second industrial revolution made itself felt. To test the hypothetical continuity of educational behaviour, a deliberate choice has also :been made for three key periods in economic history, in which the social situation varied significantly: the 1880s, the 1930s and the 1960s. T...

A XXI. században a kreativitás, az innováció és a vállalkozás fogalmak váltak a modern gazdaságfejlesztés kulcsfaktoraivá. A kis-és középvállalkozások egyaránt fontos szerepet játszanak az Európai Unió versenyképességének növelésében, a gazdasági fejlődésben, valamint az önmegvalósításban. Az utóbbi években a vállalkozóvá válás, annak ösztönzése, illetve a vállalkozásoktatás rendkívül nagy figyelmet kapott a fejlett országokban. Mindez számos okra vezethető vissza: a tudásintenzív kis-és középvállalkozások gazdaságfejlesztésben betöltött erősödő szerepe, (az egyre „divatosabb”) startupok és kapcsolódó „ökoszisztéma” kialakulása, vállalkozói létforma felértékelődése stb. A vállalkozói létforma egyik megvalósulási formáját a különböző egyetemekről, kutatóhelyekről kipörgő cégek jelentik. Jelen kutatás keretein belül a kutatóhelyekről kipörgő cégek fogalmát a lehető legbővebben értelmezem. Ebbe éppúgy beletartoznak a felsőoktatásban részt vevő hallgatók által alapított, ún. hallgatói v...

El gobierno colombiano ha encaminado sus esfuerzos en Educacion Superior, a ampliar cobertura, mejorar la calidad de la educacion y brindar auxilios que permitan a los bachilleres su ingreso. La problematica actual es la desercion, que para finales de 2013 fue de un 50.7% en ingenierias (MEN, 2015). Uno de los factores de mayor trascendencia en la vida academica es el personal, que encierra variables socio-economicas y psicologicas. Las ultimas, relacionadas con la identidad, incluyen los llamados autoesquemas, entre ellos el autoconcepto. Segun Musitu et al. (1997), este se entiende como la percepcion que el individuo tiene de si mismo. Se utilizo el cuestionario Autoconcepto Forma 5 - AF5-, de Garcia y Musitu (2001), el cual lo evalua en cinco dimensiones: Academica, Social, Emocional, Familiar y Fisica. La poblacion objetivo de 1231 alumnos fue estudiada por medio de un muestreo aleatorio estratificado; para estimar el parametro P: Proporcion de estudiantes con autoconcepto bajo ...

The renowned artist Michelangelo famously described sculpting as revealing the figure already present in the marble, simply chipping away the unnecessary rubble to uncover beauty and truth.  Similarly, each institution of higher education might be seen as a block of marble containing untapped potential waiting to be revealed.  This process requires vision, collaboration, and the humility to acknowledge that no single individual can uncover the institution’s full potential alone.

This paper will examine to what extent the unprecedented global financial crisis has affected the Indonesia’s economy. The differences between Indonesia’s experience of the global financial crisis (GFC) and Asian Financial Crisis (AFC) in 1997–98 will be illuminated. The government’s priority on the development of education— together with achieving quality growth, reducing poverty, creating jobs, improving infrastructure— have accelerated the economic recovery and improved key indicators in education. Despite budgetary adjustments, the Indonesian government continues to prioritize investment in education. As a result, the GFC has not affected number of students in Indonesia significantly. The GFC has not affected the interest of students to get higher education at the Indonesia’s universities.  Keywords: global financial crisis, Asian financial crisis investment, economic recovery

Collaboration among academic staff is a multifaceted concept that plays an important role in increasing educational practices, research quality, and professional development in higher education. This study aims to examine the academic publications and academic collaboration networks of academic staff working in research universities in Turkey by using the social network analysis method. In the research, a whole network analysis was conducted using the Social Network Analysis method. Out of 23 universities determined within the scope of the Research Universities Support Program, 15 universities with a Department of Educational Administration were included in the study by criterion sampling method. In the study, data on academic staff in each university were collected through the Higher Education Information System (YOKSIS). A checklist consisting of six criteria developed by the researcher was used to collect the data. This checklist includes the name of the author, name of the academic publication, date of the academic publication, keywords, co-authors and journal name. The analysis of the data in the study was carried out with UCINET 6.0, one of the social network analysis programs. According to the results of the research, it is seen that the academic collaboration network among academic staff in research universities is weak, whereas the networks established by academics working in research universities with their colleagues in other universities are denser and stronger. Despite the weak connections between academic staff in research universities, it is seen that academic publications in these universities include many interconnected concepts. When academic publications are examined, it is seen that the most frequently used keywords are teacher, school principal, leadership, school, Turkish Education System, trust, student, organizational commitment and self-efficacy. The study found that Hacettepe University and Ankara University established stronger academic collaboration networks compared to other universities. Based on the results of this study, it may be recommended to conduct qualitative research to examine the underlying causes and results of academic collaboration networks among academic staff in depth.

Using document analysis, this study aims to examine the role and contributions of Turkish public institutions in the internationalization of higher education (IoHE) using the framework of neo-institutionalization theory. Within the scope of the research, 20 policy documents prepared by decision-making bodies such as the Turkish Presidency, ministries, CoHE, and public foundations in Türkiye were analyzed through content analysis. This study illuminates the intricate network of actors shaping the Internationalization of Higher Education (IoHE) landscape in Türkiye, with CoHE, universities, ministries, and public foundations collaborating closely. Through the neo-institutionalization lens, CoHE emerges as the linchpin, steering Türkiye's universities towards global integration, embodying the coercive isomorphism emphasized by the theory. Moreover, a spectrum of key institutions, including MoNE, the Ministry of Science, Industry, and Technology, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Interior, the YEE, and the TMF, play pivotal roles in Türkiye's IoHE landscape. The motivations of these entities, viewed through mimetic and normative isomorphism, blend to shape Türkiye's higher education internationalization efforts, as outlined by neo-institutionalization theory. Furthermore, the study underscores the rising significance of public foundations alongside traditional institutions in the IoHE realm. Notably, local institutions are adopting global behaviours, reflecting the mimicking pressures within Türkiye's higher education. However, despite Türkiye's substantial progress in higher education internationalization, a crucial gap emerges: the lack of a comprehensive roadmap defining the roles of all stakeholders. This gap, echoing the uncertainties of neo-institutionalization theory, underscores the need for a unified vision among Türkiye's diverse IoHE stakeholders.

This study was conducted to gauge stakeholders' views towards the provision of private higher education in Ethiopia. More specifically, the study sought to examine stakeholders' perception regarding the importance of private higher education; academic provisions of private higher education institutes as contrasted with the public higher education sector, and government's role in the provision of private provision of higher education. The study followed a mixed method design employing concurrent procedures in which qualitative and quantitative data were gathered simultaneously. While quantitative data were gathered through survey questionnaire administered among 297 key stakeholders comprising parents, students, faculty, and employers, qualitative data were generated from relevant documents and in-depth interviews conducted with seven leaders of PHEIs willing to take part in the study. The results indicate that in the eyes of stakeholders, private higher education offers significant advantages in creating additional access and related benefits such as introducing improved student orientation. However, stakeholders equally observe that private higher education institutions fall far short of societal expectations due to their excessive profit-orientation and illicit behavior that demeans societal acceptance and sectoral legitimacy. It is argued that as a newly emerging sector whose viability is judged against the more experienced public sector, private higher education institutions should address their weaknesses in order to assure their viability and enhance the 'publicness' of their provisions.

Uzaktan Eğitim, kısaca zaman ve mekândan bağımsız, bilişim teknolojilerinden yararlanılarak gerçekleştirilen, ekonomik ve etkileşimli bir eğitim biçimidir. Modern toplumun gerektirdiği yenilenme ihtiyacı, eğitim sisteminden bir şekilde ayrılmış veya bu sisteme hiç girememiş olma, bireyleri uzaktan eğitim yolunu denemeye yöneltmiştir. Küreselleşme, ekonomi ve siyasette olduğu gibi, eğitimde de alternatifleri artırmıştır. Uzaktan eğitim de çeşitlenen alternatiflerden, belki de en cazip olanı olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Literatür taraması yöntemi ile yapılan bu betimsel çalışmada küreselleşme sürecinde uzaktan eğitim irdelenmektedir.
