    Emulating Erasmus? Turkey's Mevlana Exchange Program in Higher Education
    (Springer Heidelberg, 2019) Yilmaz, Gozde
    In today's world, globalization and internationalization of education necessitate new initiatives to catch the new era. Turkey, as a country in between the east and the west, attempts to do so through its recent exchange program in higher education. Interestingly, Turkey's Mevlana exchange program as an ambitious project in higher education denotes an instance of policy transfer: taking the EU model (i.e., Erasmus) and slightly adjusting it to the national circumstances. This article unpacks Turkey's Mevlana program to demonstrate the process of policy transfer by focusing on different questions posed within the policy transfer literature. It argues that Mevlana is drawn from Erasmus, and it is created as a tool of soft power that is increasingly exercised by Turkey due to its changing focus within the Turkish foreign policy of 2000s.

    Principles for the Design of a Remote Laboratory: a Case Study on Errl
    (2010) Cagiltay,N.E.; Aydin,E.; Kara,A.
    Remote laboratories are getting very popular in engineering education programs. However, there are not many studies addressing the requirements and design issues of such laboratories. This paper discusses the results of a study of the requirements for developing a remote Radio Frequency (RF) laboratory for university students. This study draws on the perspectives of the students at the university, department of electrical engineering. The results are based on a research study established by 111 engineering students from France, Germany, Romania and Turkey. It investigates how students would like to use the technical content of a state of the art RF laboratory. The result of this study is also compared with the previous outcomes showing perspectives of the other learner groups of such laboratories; engineers and technicians in the technical colleges on the Radio Frequency (RF) domain. Considering the outcomes developed so far, some principles that need to be considered while designing and developing such a laboratory have been proposed. As a case study the proposed principles are implemented in a remote laboratory project. In this paper, the details of user requirements of such laboratories, the proposed principles and the implementation examples are all provided and discussed. Primarily, the general aim of this study is to guide remote laboratory platform developers towards the most effective design of their platforms. © 2010 IEEE.

    Extending Peer-Led Team Learning To Management Education: the Effects on Achievement, Critical Thinking, and Interest
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2022) Tuzlukaya, Sule; Sahin, Neriman Gonca Guzel; Cigdemoglu, Ceyhan
    As an attempt to extend the implementation of peer-led team learning to management education, this study proposes to investigate business students' achievement, critical thinking skills, and interest in learning environment across academic ability groups and attitudes towards team leaders. Using a one-shot pre/post experimental design, 108 conveniently selected students participated in the treatment throughout ten weeks. Researchers collected data using the critical thinking scale and interest scales both at the beginning and at the end of the treatment. In addition, students' course achievement is used as a dependent variable. To answer research questions, paired-samples t-test, one-way repeated measure analysis of variance (ANOVA), and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) were used. Results indicate that the mean scores of achievement are significantly different for different ability group students and different levels of attitudes towards team leaders. Besides, students' interest scores increased at the end of the implementation; however, their scores on critical thinking skills decreased. Further studies are suggested to consider these issues in implementing peer-led team learning in social science courses.
