Significance and Rationale
Educational administration is an interdisciplinary field that plays a central role in ensuring the effectiveness, efficiency, and sustainability of educational systems. The rapidly changing social, economic, and technological dynamics of the 21st century require educational institutions to develop innovative, flexible, and inclusive management approaches in leadership, strategic planning, quality assurance, and digital transformation.
In this context, it is of vital importance that educational leaders develop practice-oriented competencies based on theoretical knowledge in these areas, in order to enhance the quality of education, support institutional development, and ensure system sustainability. Furthermore, adopting a management approach grounded in ethical principles, law, and human rights is essential for reflecting democratic values in the education system and constructing a fair learning environment.
In the context of education, effectively implementing internationalization, quality management, and accreditation processes enhances institutions’ global competitiveness and academic visibility. Additionally, building a resilient education system in the face of crises and disasters necessitates prioritizing research on risk management and preparedness in educational administration.
The research priorities identified by the Department of Educational Administration at Hacettepe University aim to contribute to the national and international development of the discipline, increase scientific knowledge production, and realize the vision of becoming an academic hub that guides the field.
