“…The majority of theses on Erasmus are based on qualitative methods. Contrary to this result, Tavşancıl et al (2010) reported in their research that quantitative research methods were used in the four-fifths of the master's theses on education. Şahin et al (2013) found in their research that mostly quantitative methods were preferred.…”

The purpose of this research is to review from a bibliographic standpoint the master's and Ph.D. theses written in Turkey between 2006-2018 which studied the subject of Erasmus. For the population, the researcher has accepted the master's and Ph.D. theses about Erasmus Programme which were written in Turkey between the years 2006-2018 which are located in the "National Thesis Center" section of the Council of Higher Education, Head of Publication and Documentation Department, and permitted to be accessed. This research was designed in the descriptive survey model. Content analysis technique was used in the research. The theses on the subject were written at most in 2014. It is concluded that the theses were mostly at the master's level and written by female researchers. It can be said that women are more interested in the subject of Erasmus than men. Theses on the subject of Erasmus were determined to be written mostly in Middle East Technical University and Boğaziçi University. When the theses concerning the Erasmus Programme were viewed within the context of the institute, the highest number of the theses was found in the Institute of social sciences and Institute of educational sciences. When the departments are considered, it is seen that the studies are predominantly carried out in the Department of Educational Management, Inspection, Planning, and Economy, and in the Department of Management. It was determined that in the studies about Erasmus, study groups were comprised mostly of students. In the research, it was determined that the theses about Erasmus are mostly written in the field of social sciences, at master's level, and in the Turkish language; and "factor analysis", "t-test" and "ANOVA test" methods were used in the analysis of theses.

“…Of special importance were the final master's theses, which are openly accessible at UiO. Analysing students' master's theses to study the qualities of higher education programmes has certain merits that have been overlooked by researchers in this field (Tavsancil et al, 2010). Theses are high-stakes documents, meaning they represent a strong involvement on the part of the students, who engage in partly self-regulated activity for extended periods of four to eight months with variations in thematic focus and research design.…”

Purpose The main purpose of the article is to outline a theoretical platform for a design-based approach to entrepreneurship education grounded in the ideas of the Russian psychologist and linguist Lev S. Vygotsky by reconceptualising the development of entrepreneurial expertise as artefact-mediated activity. This model is elaborated into some core pedagogical principles and contrasted with other approaches to entrepreneurial education. It also describes the piloting of this design perspective in a Master of Science programme in entrepreneurship. Students working as interns in high-tech start-up companies reflected on their practice and learned to learn using a number of artefacts as “scaffolds”. Design/methodology/approach The empirical base of this article is an instrumental case study of the pilot programme where the material is subject to documentary and narrative analysis. The master’s theses of the students participating in the new start-up programme were compared with those of students in the regular programme using thematic analysis. Findings The authors call for a more systematic examination of the model derived from Vygotsky in the field of entrepreneurship education. The exploratory study indicates that the emphasis on artefact-mediated action may strengthen systematic self-reflection and learning to learn among Master’s students in practice-based programmes. However, Vygotsky’s focus on “distributed agency” should be complemented by a more personalized mentoring scheme. Originality/value This is a pioneering study examining the pedagogy of artefact mediation in entrepreneurship education.

Eğitim bilimlerinin genel olarak sosyal bilimlerin bir alt alanı olduğunu kabul ederek, so syal bilimler alanındaki lisansüstü tezlerin incelendiği çalışmaların sonuçlarına baktığımızda; yüksek lisans tezlerinin daha fazla oluşu, ilgili konunun devlet üniversitelerinde ve sosyal bilimler enstitüsü bünyesinde görece daha fazla çalışılmış olması v e tarama modelinin daha fazla kullanıldığı sonuçları (Alpaydın ve Erol, 2017;Aydın, Selvitopu ve Kaya, 2018;Balcı ve Apaydın, 2009;Çavuşoğlu, 2021;Fazlıoğulları ve Kurul, 2012;Haydaroğlu, 2022;Tavşancıl, Erdem, Yalçın, Yıldırım ve Bilican, 2010) Bu araştırma sürecine her iki araştırmacı da eşit oranda katkı sağlamıştır.…”

Bu araştırmanın amacı, Türkiye’de 2000-2023 yılları arasında istihdam edilebilirlik konusunda yapılmış olan tezlerin kapsamlı ve bütüncül olarak analiz edilmesidir. Betimsel tarama modelinde tasarlanan bu araştırmada belirlenen kriterler çerçevesinde YÖK Ulusal Tez Merkezi veri tabanı kullanılarak erişilen tezler için betimsel içerik analizi ile bir kategorik çözümleme yapılmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına göre konunun daha çok devlet üniversitelerinde, sosyal bilimlerde ve yüksek lisans tezlerinde çalışıldığı; mesleki eğitim sistemi, istihdam edilebilirlik becerileri ve istihdam edilebilirlik algısı konularının ise eğitim bilimleri ve sosyal bilimlerde ortak olarak çalışıldığı görülmektedir. Ağırlıklı olarak nicel araştırma yönteminin ve ilişkisel tarama modelinin kullanıldığı, veri kaynağı olarak daha çok firma yöneticileri, işgörenler ve üniversite öğrencilerinin tercih edildiği, çoğunlukla basit tesadüfi örnekleme ile Türkiye genelinin örneklem alındığı görülmektedir. Veri toplama aracı olarak en çok anketin kullanıldığı, nicel veri analizinde çoğunlukla betimsel istatistiklerin, t-testi, korelasyon analizi, varyans analizi ve faktör analizlerinin; nitel veri analizinde ise betimsel analiz ve içerik analizinin kullanıldığı görülmektedir. Sonraki çalışmalar için istihdam edilebilirliğin farklı değişkenlerle ilişkisinin incelenmesi ve araştırma yöntemlerinde, desenlerinde, örneklem gruplarında, veri toplama araçlarında çeşitlemeye gidilmesi önerilmektedir.
