Technological developments that have taken place in the 21st century have also affected higher education institutions. These changes have created an obligation to respond to the effects and needs of globalization. In response to these developments, the emphasis on lifelong learning and individuals who "learn how to learn" in higher education institutions has become more and more important in order to educate individuals to fulfill the needs of the century. In general, studies on topics such as the development of lifelong learning in higher education and the role of leaders are limited in Turkey. Regarding this point of view, the current study aims at examining the perceptions of sustainability leaders studying in the higher education sector in Turkey in terms of the lifelong learning provided, the strategies applied, the difficulties faced, the experiences shared, and the sustainability practiced. Therefore, the study uses a descriptive phenomenological pattern under a qualitative research method. The study group was established with maximum diversity, using a purposeful sampling technique. The study group consisted of 10 middle-level managers working at the universities in the Marmara region. The topic was discussed with the study group members in depth. In this study, the data were collected with a semi-structured interview form created by the researchers. In the analysis of data, a content analysis method was used. As a result of the research, it was found out about those observed that administrators in higher education institutions define lifelong learning in a similar way to the definitions in the literature. In addition, the strategies of administrators for lifelong learning, their views concerning their experiences, and their views on the difficulties they encountered are revealed in the research. In the last part, practical recommendations suggestions are made using with regard to the results of the research.

Today, internationalization is among the most important strategic goals of higher education. In this context, academicians hold a significant place in academic knowledge exchange since they constitute the key mechanism in internalization. Despite this fact, female academicians continue to be underrepresented in the internationalization of higher education. Considering the emphasis on Sustainable Development Goal 5, which states that gender equality is the basis of sustainable development for all individuals until 2030, it is clear that women faculty members should be supported more in the internationalization process of the higher education. Further studies are required to determine how much of the inequalities experienced by women academics in terms of international academic mobility, visibility, and international publication opportunities are being transferred to international academic environment. For this reason, the present article aims to investigate the representation of female academicians in the internationalization of higher education from a feminist theory approach. Results of our study clearly indicate that there is a need for new policies in terms of the "visibility" of female faculty members in higher education in the world.   Keywords: Internationalization; female academicians; gender inequality.

Günümüzde bahçe temelli eğitim yaklaşımına ilgi gün geçtikçe artmaktadır. Bahçe temelli eğitim yaklaşımının teoriden pratiğe altını çizdiği nokta doğa ile eğitim ilişkisini bütünleştiren "yaparak yaşayarak öğrenmeye" yaptığı vurgudur. Dolayısıyla bu araştırmanın temel amacı bahçe temelli eğitim yaklaşımının felsefi ve teorik temellerine ilişkin bilgiler sunarak bu yaklaşıma eğitimde daha fazla yer verilmesine katkı sağlamaktır. Bu bağlamda, bahçe temelli eğitim kavramı, bahçe temelli eğitim yaklaşımının felsefi ve teorik temelleri, tarihi arka planı, eğitime olan katkıları ve sürdürülebilirliğinde karşılaşılan zorluklar açıklanmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar, Türkiye'de bahçe temelli eğitim yaklaşımının okul öncesi eğitimden yükseköğretim kademesine kadar eğitim programlarında teoriden uygulamaya yaygınlaştırılması gerekliliğini ortaya koymaktadır. Bu doğrultuda bu çalışmada araştırmacılara, eğitimcilere ve eğitim politikalarının geliştirilmesi sürecinde yer alan uzmanlara yönelik öneriler sunulmaktadır.
