This time, however, we will all be home and seated in front of computers. So, the distance education journey is going on, unfortunately, and I, for one, do not have the slightest idea when it will be over. The past seven months has not been easy for any of us. Making a sudden change to distance education in the middle of the spring term, trying to stay on course during the term despite all the difficulties and ending the academic year with belated online exams were all an uphill battle for all of us. The change was big. It was sudden. What is more, it has been inevitable and constant ever since this pandemic began. When we planned to welcome all of you as our guests at YTU Davutpaşa Campus and YTU SFL premises almost one year ago, frankly, this was not what we had in mind. However, I believe INNOVAPROS 2020 could not have come at a more convenient time because the past seven months of compulsory distance learning, and teaching for that matter, gave all of us enormous administrative experience and academic memory. So, INNOVAPROS 2020 will be a great platform for us to share this experience so that we can learn from each other to manage once-in-a- life-time situation like this. Second, I guess we all see the necessity to transform and update our curricular and assessment practices in the long run so that they will be less fragile in the face of urgencies like the one we have been going through. INNOVAPROS 2020 will provide all of us with that valuable discussion context to reflect on this issue. Finally, as ELT professionals, we all need to take some time off to find inspiration to be able to continue in this ‘new normal’ way of teaching English to our learners. INNOVAPROS 2020 will be that much needed break to turn back to ourselves and reflect on how our teaching has evolved in time of this pandemic. This time we will not be able to see our students raise their hands, tap on their shoulders when they get a question right or put them in groupwork for an activity. We will only hear their voices through loudspeakers and see their reflections on our screens. Let us hope that this, too, will pass and that we will get back to our usual ways of doing things as soon and safe as possible. Until then, I wish you a successful and healthy academic year and hope you and your loved ones remain healthy.

  • About Issa Turkey
    ABOUT ISSA TURKEY Education In Turkey 1 2 www.issa.org.tr ABOUT ISSA TURKEY PREFACE The foremost indicator of the internationalization of the universities around the world includes the number of the foreign students they teach, and the countries from which these come. Furthermore, every youth would like to study in a university giving the best education at international standards. Seeking after knowledge at the best and farthest institution has been a common rule throughout history. Throughout history, particularly in the Islam culture, many scholars had gone to various realms cradling science and wisdom, and been taught far away from their countries. Having risen in the last century, the number of students worldwide has reached above 5 million worldwide. Besides, this has become a major service sector for all countries in socio-cultural and economical terms, having reached to an annual economical volume of $ 100 billion. Anatolia has been a center of education and science thanks to the scientist it has brought up, its history, its nature, and its geopolitical location at the intersection of three continents. Today, Turkey, too, is an educational center in its territory with its nearly 200 universities, and more than 100 hundred thousand students coming from 95 counties. Students prefer Turkey due to the particular reasons mentioned below. Turkey is a modern Muslim country being governed by Republican regime. Turkey is a country with a thriving economy, alongside its historical, climatic, and natural beauties. Turkish universities accommodate all departments in Turkey with numerous alternatives. While Turkish universities in general are at European standards, not only the private universities are cheaper than those in Europe, it is also way cheaper to study in the state universities, and even for free in some of them.

  • IPR Education in Turkey
    IPR Education in Turkey Prof. Dr. Arzu OĞUZ Director of Center on Intellectual and Industrial Rights at Ankara University Like many countries around the world, Turkey, in the last 20 years, has recognized the significance of IPR protection and its effects on the economy. Turkey has made a remarkable effort to harmonize its IPR legislation with that of EU legislation and as a result, a number of decree laws regarding patents, trademarks, utility models, industrial design and geographical signs have been entered into force. Through extensive amendments in 1995, 2001 and 2004 in the Law on Copyrights of 1950, Turkey has attempted to meet its commitments to international institutions such as World Trade Organization (e.g. TRIPS) and fulfill its obligations to the EU. During the 2000s, Turkey fulfilled most of its obligations indicated in the Customs Union Association Council Decision nr. 1/95 by way of signing the Customs Union Agreement 10 years ago. Furthermore, Turkey fulfilled its IPR related obligations in the annual progress report drafted by the Commission through enacting codes, regulations and by-laws, as required by the 1999 EU summit candidacy status report. Turkey has harmonized most of its legislation according to the acquis communitaire. However, there are some precautions needed for this matter. Harmonization with the acquis should not necessarily have to be signed for the establishment of a solid Intellectual Property Law as there are still serious difficulties for the implementation of the regulations enacted by legislative and administrative authorities. Although the recently enacted regulations to overcome piracy appear to have efficient precautions, efforts for the forceful implementation of these precautions are not adequate.

  • The Ranking of Turkish Universities with Cocoso and Marcos
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE THIRD ECONOMICS, BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION RESEARCH (EBOR) CONFERENCE ROME, ITALY, 2020 THE RANKING OF TURKISH UNIVERSITIES WITH COCOSO AND MARCOS Aşkın OZDAGOGLU1 Alptekin ULUTAS2 Murat Kemal KELES3 1 Assoc. Prof. Dr., Dokuz Eylül University, Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences, Department of Business, İzmir- Turkey, [email protected] 2 Assist. Prof. Dr., Sivas Cumhuriyet University, Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences, Department of International Trade and Logistics, Sivas-Turkey, [email protected] 3 Dr., Isparta University of Applied Sciences, Keçiborlu Vocational School, Department of Design, Isparta-Turkey, [email protected] Abstract The ranking of universities according to their academic performance is important for both the reputation of the university and the region and country where the university is located. Additionally, universities can have the opportunity to observe their weaknesses and strengths through these rankings and draw a roadmap to improve their performance. Some organizations evaluate the performance of universities. URAP is one of the organizations assessing the performance of universities according to various criteria. The aim of this study is to rank Turkish universities according to their performances based on the 2019-year report published by URAP assessing the performance of 166 universities according to 5 criteria. For this evaluation, CoCoSo and MARCOS methods, which are newly introduced to literature, are used in this study. Keywords: CoCoSo, MARCOS, Ranking of Universities. ©EBOR Academy Ltd. 2020 Appolloni et al. (eds). Proceedings of the Third EBOR Conference 2020, pp. 374-392, 2020 375 1.

  • A Comparison of Stereotypes of German and Turkish Students Towards Balkans
    International Journal of Instruction January 2016 ● Vol.9, No.1 e-ISSN: 1308-1470 ● www.e-iji.net p-ISSN: 1694-609X A Comparison of Stereotypes of German and Turkish Students towards Balkans Gürcan Ültanır Prof., Ufuk University, Ankara, Turkey, [email protected] Emel Ültanır Prof., Ufuk University, Ankara, Turkey, [email protected] Ayşe Irkörücü Research Assistant, Ufuk University, Ankara, Turkey, [email protected] Effective emotional thoughts like attitudes, stereotyped judgments and preconceptions are dependent on both collective and individual experiences. Experiences like reading an article or watching a movie that is based on a context determined by the curriculum might cause individual or collective discrimination towards different ethnic or cultural groups among students in a country. This study aims to explore the difference between two nations which are the Turkish nation that has many cultural and political bonds with Balkans in the history and the German nation, which is a nation that has little or no bonds with the Balkans. The main aim of the study is to figure out if the stereotypes towards Balkans can change according to the country in which an individual has grown up. MANOVA was used to figure out the difference between two capitals with regard to stereotypes towards Balkans. Findings of the study indicated that negative stereotype scores of students significantly changed according to the country in which students grew up, whereas no significant difference was found for positive stereotype scores. Moreover, it was found that Turkish students have more negative stereotypes towards Balkans than German students. Keywords: curriculum difference, Balkans, stereotype, university students, German INTRODUCTION Affective emotional behaviours like attitudes, stereotypes, prejudices, and discrimination are dependent on both collective events and individual experiences.
