“…When the literature is examined, it is observed that the concept of postgraduate education is defined in various ways. Postgraduate education is defined as the highest education institution where both the university's need for academics and society's need for qualified human resources and researchers are nurtured (Kayahan Karakul and Karakütük, 2014;Günay, 2018). With postgraduate education, highly qualified human resources, which are an important part of scientific and technological advancements and development, are cultivated (İbiş, 2014;Dikmen and Tuncer, 2016;Bayar and Çelenk, 2019;Koşar, Er, and Kılınç, 2020).…”

The aim of this research is to reveal the status of academic advising in graduate education in the field of classroom teaching. In this regard, it aims to examine the perceptions of academics and graduate students regarding the phenomenon of academic advising, their expectations from academic advising, the problems they encounter during the academic advising process, and their proposed solutions to these problems. In line with these objectives, a qualitative research approach was adopted in the study. Phenomenology, which is one of the qualitative research types, was used as the research model. The sample of the study consists of thesis-based master's students, doctoral students, and academics who provide academic advising in the graduate education programs of Akdeniz University, Anadolu University, Afyon Kocatepe University, Gazi University, Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University, Pamukkale University, Dokuz Eylül University, and Ege University in the 2020-2021 academic year. According to the findings of the study regarding the perceptions of graduate education academic advising, it was observed that both academics and graduate students have a positive perception of the phenomenon of academic advising. Furthermore, both academics and graduate students generally define academic advising as a guidance process. Regarding the expectations related to graduate education academic advising, it was found that both academics and g raduate students have various expectations from academic advising. Regarding the problems encountered in graduate education academic advising, the findings reveal that academics face difficulties mainly due to the students' deficiencies in scientific research skills and scientific research methods during the thesis stage. On the other hand, graduate students face problems in the academic advising process, particularly in terms of academics not providing timely feedback, inadequate guidance in research methods, and working with an advisor they did not choose. Additionally, it emerged that the main problem for graduate students in the field of classroom teaching is the difficulty in finding academics specialized in their field. The findings regarding the proposed solutions to the problems in graduate education academic advising indicate that academics mainly emphasize two topics in their proposed solutions. Firstly, it is suggested that especially master's students should go through a one-year preparation process, such as scientific preparation, before starting their master's courses. Secondly, it is recommended that academics who will provide academic advising should undergo a specific education on "academic advising" and a framework should be established for academic advising. When examining the proposed solutions from the perspective of graduate students, it is seen that the most commonly expressed solution is the ability to choose the individuals who will provide them with academic advising throughout their graduate education.

Öz: Lisansüstü eğitim akademik, ekonomik, politik ve sosyolojik katkılar sunan önemli bir yükseköğretim düzeyidir. Bu çalışma lisansüstü eğitim alan öğrencilerin örgüt iklimi algıları ile ilişkili faktörleri ve onların lisansüstü deneyimlerini inceleyerek lisansüstü eğitimin yapı ve süreçlerini ortaya çıkarmayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada karma yöntem deseni kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın nicel boyutu nedensel karşılaştırma, nitel boyutu ise olgu-bilim deseni üzerine kuruludur. Nicel kısımda örgüt iklimi ile ilişkili faktörler test edilmişken nitel kısımda ise lisansüstü öğrencilerin deneyimleri irdelenmiştir. Nicel kısımda bağımlı değişken örgüt iklimi algısı, bağımsız değişkenler ise cinsiyet, medeni durum, yaş, akademik alan, program düzeyi ve dönemdir. Nitel kısımda ise temalar akademik, sosyal, kültürel ve yönetimsel alanlardaki deneyimlerle ilgilidir. Çalışmanın evreni araştırma üniversitelerindeki lisansüstü öğrenciler olup örneklem ise bu evrenden seçilen lisansüstü öğrencidir. Nicel veri 442 öğrenciden toplanırken nitel veri ise aynı örneklem içinde yer alan sekiz öğrenciden toplanmıştır. Çalışmada lisansüstü eğitimde örgüt iklimi ölçeği, yarı-yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ve dokümanlar veri toplama araçları olarak kullanılmıştır. Nicel veriler tek ve çift yönlü varyans analizi ile incelenirken nitel veri ise içerik analizine tabi tutulmuştur. Akademik alan, medeni durum, yaş ve program düzeyinin örgüt iklimi algılarında anlamlı farklılık oluşturduğu tespit edilmiştir. Akademik deneyimler ile sosyoekonomik deneyimlerin kültürel deneyimler ile yönetimsel deneyimlere göre nispeten daha olumlu olduğu görülmüştür. Lisansüstü eğitimde yapı ve süreç değişkenlerinin girdi, süreç, çıktı ve geribildirim öğeleri ile açıklanabildiği ortaya çıkmıştır. Lisansüstü eğitimin bütüncül bir bakış açısıyla değerlendirilmesi önerilmektedir.
