De¤erli Okurlar,

Yüksekö¤retim Dergisi’nin ikinci cildi tamamlanarak, elinizdeki say› ile üçüncü cilde baﬂlanm›ﬂ durumdad›r.

Dergimiz yay›n hayat›na bafllarken, yüksekö¤retim alan›nda kal›-c› birikime dönüflecek deneyimlerin okurlarla paylafl›lmas› hedeflen-miflti. Bafllang›çta ortaya konan yol haritas›na uygun olarak, bu hede-fe do¤ru emin ad›mlarla ilerlemekteyiz. Üretilen bilgiyi iflleyerek ya-z›lar›yla aktaran alan›n›n uzmanlar›, dergiyi özenle takip eden de¤er-li okuyucular ile görevini özenle yapmaya çal›flan bide¤er-limsel dan›flma kurulunun oluflturdu¤u sinerji yüksekö¤retim alan›nda daha güçlü fi-kirlerin ortaya konmas›na imkan sa¤layacakt›r.

Bugüne kadar; yüksekö¤retim alan›nda, ülkemizdeki sistemin de-¤erlendirilmesi; yap›sal de¤ifliklikler, yeni e¤ilimler ve küreselleflme, finansman sorunlar›, stratejik yönetim ve hesap verebilirlik, e¤itim ve araflt›rma alan›nda yeni aray›fllar ve modeller, de¤iflik e¤itim ve ö¤re-tim sistemleri, e¤iö¤re-time ve yüksekö¤reö¤re-time büyük katk› sa¤layanlar ana bafll›klar› alt›nda de¤iflik konular ele al›nm›flt›r.

Derginin bu say›s›nda; yüksekö¤retimde araflt›rma ve inovasyon kültürünün oluflturulmas›, akademian›n sosyopsikolojik dinamikleri, sa¤l›k yönetimi ve sa¤l›k e¤itimi iliflkisi, ülkemizde lisansüstü e¤itime elefltirel bak›fl ve iyilefltirme önerileri, yüksekö¤retimde de¤iflim mü-hendisli¤i, aç›k dergi sistemleri, devlet üniversitelerinde özyönetim konular› ele al›nmaktad›r.

Yüksekö¤retimin yeniden yap›lanma çal›flmalar›n›n devam etti¤i ve yeni yüksek ö¤retim yasas› tasla¤›n›n haz›rlanarak sunulmufl oldu-¤u bir dönemde; halen devam eden yüksek talebe karfl›; e¤itim, ö¤re-tim, araflt›rma ve sunulan hizmetler kapsam›nda kalitenin nas›l art›r›-laca¤› konusu en önemli sorundur. Yüksekö¤retimde kalite konusun-da öncelikle ele al›nmas› gereken, lisansüstü e¤itim alan›d›r. Yüksek lisans ve doktora e¤itiminde kalite sa¤lanamazsa, yüksekö¤retimin di¤er alanlar›nda kalitenin sa¤lanmas› mümkün olamayacakt›r. Yük-sekö¤retimde kalite, ülkemizin en önemli sorunlar›ndan biridir. Bu amaca hizmet etmek amac›yla, yüksekö¤retimde kalite konusunu de-¤iflik aç›lardan ele al›p, tart›flt›rmay› planlamaktay›z.

Yüksekö¤retim Dergisi’nin bu say›s›na kadar kurucu editörler-den biri olarak büyük fedakarl›k ve baflar›yla görev yapan Prof. Dr. Faik Çelik’e, nitelikli yaz›lar›yla dergiye katk› sa¤layan de¤erli yazar-lara, yaz›lar›n de¤erlendirilmesinde hakemlik yapan ö¤retim üyeleri-ne ve ilk günden itibaren yak›n ilgi ve yap›c› elefltirileriyle katk› sa¤-layan sayg›de¤er okuyucular›m›za çok teflekkür ederiz.

Sayg›lar›m›zla, Editör Kurulu

Dear Readers,

We, hereby, present you the first issue of the third volume of Yüksekö¤retim Dergisi / Journal of Higher Education by completing the second volume.

When we were starting our journey in the publication life of the jour-nal, it was aimed to share experience, which will turn into permanent knowledge, accumulated in higher education with readers. In compliance with the roadmap introduced in the beginning, we are advancing towards this goal with firm steps. By the synergy created by the experts transferring the produced knowledge by processing them into writing, our esteemed read-ers who follow our journal carefully, and the Scientific Advisory Board which endeavors to conduct its duty meticulously, it will be possible to repre-sent more powerful ideas in higher education.

Up until today, various topics have been discussed about higher education such as evaluation of the system in our country, structural changes, new trends and globalization, financing issues, strategic management and accountability, new searches and models in education and research, different educational sys-tems, and those making major contributions to education and higher education. In this issue of the journal, building the culture of research and innova-tion in the higher educainnova-tion instituinnova-tions, socio-psychological dynamics of aca-demia, relationship between health management and health education, crit-ical view of postgraduate education in our country and improvement recom-mendations, reengineering in higher education, open journal systems, self-management issues in state universities have been discussed.

During a period where higher education is in a re-organization state and a new law draft on higher education has been prepared and submitted, the ways of increasing quality within the context of education, research and services provided are the biggest problem. The problem that should be dealt with first about the quality in higher education is the postgraduate tion. If quality cannot be maintained in postgraduate and doctorate educa-tion, it will not be possible to establish quality in other fields of the higher education. The quality in the higher education is one of the most essential problems of Turkey. In order to serve for this purpose, we are planning to have quality issue in higher education discussed in every aspects.

We would like to thank Professor Faik Çelik who has been working devotedly and successfully as one of the founding editors up until this issue of Yüksekö¤retim Dergisi / Journal of Higher Education, the esteemed authors who have been contributing to our journal by their qualified man-uscripts, the faculty members who have been participating into peer review-ing, and to our readers who have been contributing by their close attention and constructive criticism beginning from the first day of our journal.

Sincerely, Editorial Board
