Selvitopu, Abdullah; Kaya, Metin
The two main purposes of the current meta-analysis were (a) to determine the relation between socioeconomic status (SES) of students and academic performance (AP) (b) and evaluate the effect of several potential moderating factors in this relation. Data covered the publications between 2010 and 2019, and the dataset consisted of 48 independent studies that included 62 different samples, and the total sample was 386.601. Findings revealed that the relation between SES and academic performance represented a moderate positive correlation. All moderators, type of SES measure, academic performance scale, location, grade level, subjects of academic performance, and year, produced significant effects, respectively. These findings were discussed for every category of moderators with the related literature.

Selvitopu, Abdullah; Kaya, Metin
As strengths and weaknesses are regarded as internal features of an organization, the present study focused on strengths and weaknesses of Turkish public universities by analyzing the SWOTs (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) of twenty higher education institutions. By applying qualitative content analytical tools, we tried to make some comparisons, twenty universities, ten ranked at the top and ten at the bottom of the URAP list, were chosen to analyze the strengths and weaknesses. Findings show that all universities top or bottom ones have internal strengths and weaknesses on their own. The strengths of universities differ according to their size, field of service, structure, history and geographical locations. Top universities which are in big size, have a deeply rooted history and situated in a better geographical location can enjoy the strengths as qualified faculty members, organizational culture, internationalization process, infrastructure and good alumni relations. On the other hand, bottom universities which have not got those advantages deal with other strengths such as young faculty members, organizational support and internal communication. As for the weaknesses, top universities need more budget and acceptable rate of faculty member and student. Bottom ones need more qualified faculty members, students and staff. As they are located in disadvantageous regions, they are in need of some promotions to attract faculties, staff, national and international students. In addition, they also should be aware of the contributions of good alumni relations.

Selvitopu, Abdullah; Taş, Ali; Kaya, Metin
The purpose of this study is to examine the educational sciences scientific publication performance of Turkey and G-20 countries relatively by using some bibliometric data. This study was designed as a case study. Study group composed of Turkey and other G-20 countries. Bibliometric variables for educational sciences were obtained from SCImago and Ulakbim databases. Data analysis was processed with document analysis technique. Findings show that the number of published documents has increased dramatically in most of the G-20 countries since 2012. That is the same case for citable documents variable. Turkey is in the upper level for those variables. As for cites and citation rates, the rank differs considerably. While Turkey is in a better place for the first three variables, its citation rate rank is far below the table. On the other hand, h-index and impact factor vary greatly among the countries and some specific countries attract more attention with their performance values. To sum up, Turkey, with its documents, citable documents and cites, has relatively better statistics than citation rate, h- index and impact factor. This shows that the success gained in quantitative variables does not reflect positively on qualitative ones.

İncele - MakaleYalnız künye2018Scopus SJRQ3Eğitime Yapılan Yatırımlar ve PISA 2015 Sonuçları: Karşılaştırmalı Bir İnceleme
Selvitopu, Abdullah; Aydin, Ayhan; Kaya, Metin
Bu çalışmanın amacı, Uluslararası Öğrenci Değerlendirme Programı (PISA) 2015 programında enbaşarılı olan ülkeler ile Türkiye’nin sonuçlarını eğitim yatırımlarının dağılımı bağlamında karşılaştırmalıolarak incelemektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda çeşitli karşılaştırmalar yapabilmek için en başarılı 10 ülke,Ekonomik Kalkınma ve İşbirliği Örgütü (OECD) ortalaması ve Türkiye’nin sonuçları incelenmiştir. Çalışma,literatür inceleme çalışmasıdır. Veri inceleme yöntemi olarak doküman analizi tekniğindenyararlanılmıştır. Yapılan incelemeler sonucunda, PISA başarısında gayri safi yurt içi hasıla ile 6-15 yaşgrubu toplam eğitim harcamaları miktarı oranlarının önemli göstergeler olduğu söylenebilir. Diğer yandançoğu başarılı ülkede öğretim materyali yeterli düzeyde iken, Türkiye’de özellikle Sosyo EkonomikDüzeyi(SED) düşük okullarda yetersizdir. Öğrenci ve öğretmen oranlarına ilişkin genel, ülkeler arası veOECD ortalaması, Türkiye ile karşılaştırıldığında dikkat çekici düzeyde bir farklılaşma bulunmamaktadır.Türkiye’de (SED)profili düşük okullarda çalışan öğretmenlerin mesleki gelişim programlarına katılımoranları oldukça düşük düzeydedir. Ayrıca yıllık toplam ve 6-15 yaş genel toplam ders saatlerinin enbaşarılı ülkelere göre oldukça yüksek olmasına rağmen öğrenci performansının istenen düzeyde olmaması,derslerdeki nitelik sorunlarını gündeme getirmektedir. Buna ek olarak, Türkiye’nin okul öncesi eğitimekatılım oranının diğer ülkelere göre oldukça düşük düzeyde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, eğitiminen temel eğitsel amaçlarından olan etkin düşünme, algılama, iletişim kurma ve problem çözme yeteneğigelişmiş bireyler yetiştirmek için eğitim politikalarının sosyal adalet kavramı çerçevesinde yeniden gözdengeçirilmesi önerilebilir
