Acıbadem Mehmet Ali Aydınlar University, Department of Ataturk's Principles and History of Turkish Revolution, TURKEY, e-mail: akrezzan@gmail.com ORCİD ID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2285-8449 Received: 05 November 2019; Accepted: 21 November 2019 ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to examine the punishment and violence-based practices applied to the students in the last century of the Ottoman Empire and in the early years of the Republic and to present the information on the subject based on the sources. It is insufficient to understand the discipline and practices of Ottoman educational institutions only with regulations and instructions. Therefore, we have benefited from memories, school memories and autobiographies which are important in educational history studies. In addition to these, we frequently included the publications of our researchers historians who studied the last century of the Ottoman Empire, and in light of these, we tried to analyze the case of punishment and violence in education in the last century of the Ottoman Empire and in the early years of the Republic. Keywords: Ottoman Empire, education, modernization, punishment, violence 1. INTRODUCTION During the Classical Period of the Ottoman Empire, education was carried out by the madrasa and Enderun (a special school in the Ottoman palace).

3 MARCH 1924 TEVHID TEDRISAT LAW AND REQUIREMENTS Assoc. Prof. Dr. Özkan Akman Gaziantep University Prof. Dr. Ali Meydan Nevşehir Hacı Bektaşi Veli University Introduction Education and training activities in the Islamic society began with Muhammad’s prophethood, shaped, variegated and has continued until today. God, the Prophet. Muhammad download it in the first verse “read the name of the Lord the Creator! God Man ‘was created out of relevance. Read! Your Lord is the most generous. Allah is taught to write with a pen, do not know who has taught the people (Yazır, 2015; 95:6). “has reported that the Prophet himself in the eyes of God reveals that knowledge of the source and has commanded all believers to read. When the Islamic State began to expand and the Muslim community began to crowded, the education began to spread out of the mosques (Atay, 1983). Due to the increase in the Muslim population, the main purpose of the mosques was to prevent the worship to be done comfortably by the crowded student groups, the emergence of new branches of science (Kırpık, 2012) and the payment of wages to the teachers (Zengin, 2002). These training activities, which can be called informal and non-formal education which has a certain space, hierarchy, curricula and continuity, which are made specific to certain areas, have assumed important functions in Islamic society during the process which will continue until the establishment of madrasahs which are organized for this purpose and which are organized for this purpose (Tangulu, Karadeniz and Ateş, 2014; Zengin, 2002). Although it is accepted that a new era started in education with the establishment of madrasahs, Pedersen says that the madrasas do not differ much from the mosques, and that the same educational activities were continued (Pedersen, 1979).

KARADENİZ, 2016; (29) OSMANLI İMPARATORLUĞU’NDAN TÜRKİYE CUMHURİYETİ’NE KALAN BİR MESELE: KADINLARIN KONUMU AN ISSUE FROM THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE TO THE REPUBLIC OF TURKEY: THE STATUS OF WOMEN ПРОБЛЕМА ЖЕНЩИНЫ ОТ НАЧАЛА ОСМАНСКОЙ ИМПЕРИИ ДО ТУРЕЦКОЙ РЕСПУБЛИКИ.1 Betül Karagöz* ABSTRACT This study analyses the specific set of gender relationships that the modernization processes commenced under the Ottoman Empire, which passed on to the Turkish Republic, with particular attention to elements of citizenship and power sharing. The Women’s Movement dating from the beginning of the 19th century under the Ottoman Empire was an aspect of a national process of modernization. This period, often referred to as the “First Wave” of the struggle for women’s rights in Turkey, can be regarded as a manifestation of the need for reform in the structure of Ottoman society and state. The founders of the Republic aimed to follow through the reformist enterprise initiated in the Ottoman world, which was comprised of a quite clearly defined bundle of demands. However, despite the promises of the Republican vanguard, the process of turning women’s demands into authentically experienced rights was a much more difficult and much longer process than might have been expected. This article provides an evaluation of this process and re-focuses on the status of women and the inequality between women and men in Turkey. Keywords: Ottoman Women, Women Rights, Status of Turkish Women, Demands of Women, Gender Unequal ÖZ Bu çalışmada, Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’ndeki modernleşme sürecinin, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’ndan devraldığı cinsiyet ilişkileri, “yurttaşlık” ve “iktidar paylaşımı” ekseninde analiz edilmektedir.
International Journal of Human Sciences ISSN:2458-9489 Volume 16 Issue 2 Year: 2019 By-elections in the 1908-1912 Ottoman Assembly of Deputies Kenan Olgun1 Abstract The 1908 Assembly of Deputies (Meclis-i Mebusan), which opened on December 17th 1908 after the proclamation of the second Constitutional Monarchy, witnessed a colorful parliamentary life. While the things happened in this assembly created the first examples in terms of the democracy adventure of Turkey, the applications to be performed or the ongoing ones later served as a model for the Turkish Republic. Particularly the things that happened in the assembly after 1910 have the characteristics of setting an example for the following periods. The Assembly of Deputies in the Ottoman State, which opened in 1908 after a long period of thirty years, had a solemn opening ceremony on December 17th. The opening ceremony was prepared days before by considering even the smallest details, and the ones who would attend the ceremony, the places where the invitees would stand and the marches to be sung were all determined. Many domestic and foreign viewers came to the opening ceremony to which Sultan Abdulhamid II also attended and due to the crowd, there were no vacancies left in the hotels and inns in Istanbul. Therefore, many mosques and schools were assigned to the visitors as places to stay. 230 deputies were present at the opening ceremony of the 1908 Assembly of Deputies, where 281 deputies were elected. 281 deputies were elected as members of the 1908-1912 Assembly of Deputies and about 324 different deputies took part in the Assembly during the four working periods.
PERCEPTIONS JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS December 1997-February 1998 Volume II - Number 4 SECULAR TRENDS AND TURKISH IDENTITY BOZKURT GÜVENÇ Bozkurt Güvenç is Professor of Anthropology, Emeritus, Hacettepe University, Ankara. THE CONCEPTUAL FRAME Exploring "Beyond the Green Menace", Espesito (1994) presents a candid picture of contemporary Islam. "Political Islam" as a western attribution, however, is not a well defined concept in the Muslim ethos. For Islam --besides being a world civilisation comprising several cultures-- is politics par excellence. Although many observations in the Espesito essay are relevant for the Muslim world at large, there are no direct references to Turkey, "the only Muslim Democracy" (Lewis 1994). Turkey's omission in this review may appear to be due to the secular history of the young republic. Secularism or laïcité, which has been the main pillar of the Turkish Republic and democracy, may also be treated as the core of ongoing controversies, such as "anti-laïc versus laïc", "sacred versus secular" and more significantly perhaps, as "Muslim versus Turkish -- nationalism." The laïcité principle of the Republic that has so far kept Turkey out of the "Green Menace", may be seen as a tributary -- if not the main-stream - of problems facing Turkish nationhood or identity such as the Turkish Muslim, Muslim Turk and the "Turk-Islam Synthesis" (Güvenç et al. 1991). While Islamism and laïcism have been competing for the top prize, the Turkish notion of laïcism has gradually transformed itself to a religion like, political ideology. Two cosmologies are hereby treated in a historical-cultural perspective: first, an overview of highlights from the Empire to the Republic; second, a review of secular trends from the Republic to the present.
1046 3 BOGAZiÇi LJNiVERSÏTESi DERGÏSi Begeri Bilimler — Humanities Vol. 7 •— 1979 FRICTION AND DISCORD WITHIN THE OTTOMAN GOVERNMENT UNDER ABDULHAMID II (1876-1909) Engin Deniz Akarli* ABSTRACT In this article, the deformation of the Ottoman structure of authority in the 19th century is discussed in the light of a set of documents from the reign of Abdulhamid Π (1876-1909). The documents involve the communication between the Sultan and his Grand Viziers on the demarcation of the mutual responsibilities and duties of the organs of the governmental apparatus. INTRODUCTION Intra-elite power struggle is common to all polities; it is a process that enables the articulation as well as the reconciliation of conflicting interests, material and ideal. Usually, there are set political norms according to which interests are reconciled, and established institutions within which the conflicting parties operate. The absence of such norms and institutions turns intra-elite power struggle into a chaotic conflict. 1 This was exactly what happened in the Ottoman State during the last century of its existence. The Ottoman political elite (or simply the Ottomans'2) found themselves driven ever deeper into a political crisis resulting from the erosion of traditional norms and political institutions, and from the failure to create a new organizational basis for conflict resolution. As the existing principles of legitimacy faded, the rules of power distribution and struggle became increasingly disordered. The separation of the making of political decisions from the administration of those decisions turned into an issue of constant dispute. In short, the Ottoman "structure of authority"3 lost its coherence, just as the state crumbled, failing to keep in step with the new world order that was being built under Western domination.4 a Dept.
