    Dil ve Edebiyat Araştırmaları, Güz, 2017; (16) 67-81 67 ISSN: 1308-5069 - E-ISSN: 2149-0651 Amerika’dan Boğaziçine Uzanan Bir Eğitimci Mary Mills Patrick’in “Amerika’da Kadınlara Mahsus Yüksek Tahsil” Risalesi* Ahmet KOÇAK** Öz Eğitim, sözlüklerde özellikle çocukların ve gençlerin toplum yaşayışında yerlerini almaları için ge- rekli bilgi, beceri ve anlayışları elde etmelerine, kişiliklerini geliştirmelerine okul içinde veya dışında, doğrudan veya dolaylı yardım etme şeklinde tanımlanmaktadır (Günay 1992: 17-18). Birey hayatının her yönünü kuşatan eğitim, önce ailede başlar; daha sonra okullarda eğitimcilerin ellerinde şekillenir. Toplumların hayatlarında bazı dönemlerin büyük önemi vardır. Bu dönemlerde kısa zamanda büyük değişimler, yenilikler gerçekleşir. Türk eğitim tarihi açısından Tanzimat’tan sonra Mekteb-i Sultani, Dâru’l-Fünun, Dârülmuallimât, (Kız) okulları gibi yeni kurumlar açılmış, Batılı eğitim verilmeye baş- lanmıştır. Bu eğitim kurumlarında ya Batı diliyle eğitim yapılmaya başlanmış ya da bir Batı dili öğ- retilmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu arada özellikle yabancı dil dersleri için Batı’dan öğretmenler getirtilmiştir. Bunlar arasında gönüllü olarak Türkiye’ye gelen, okullarda eğitimci olarak görev yapan isimler de olmuştur. Bunlardan birisi de Amerika’dan Boğaziçi’ne uzanan hayat hikayesiyle Mary Mills Patrick (1850-1940)’tir. Aslen İrlanda’dan Amerika’ya göç etmiş bir ailenin kızı olan Patrick yüksek öğrenimini Amerika’da yapmıştır. Eski Yunan Felsefesi üzerine İsviçre’nin Bern şehrinde doktora öğrenimi gören Patrick, Fransızca, Almanca, Ermenice, Yunanca ve Türkçe gibi dilleri de öğrenmiştir. Doktora eğitiminden sonra Türkiye’ye gelerek Erzurum’da öğretmen olarak göreve başlar. Daha sonra 1876 yılında henüz 26 yaşında genç ve idealist bir kadın eğitimci olarak Üsküdar’daki İstanbul Kız Koleji’nde felsefe hocalığına başlar.
