    An Analysis of the New Regulations Introduced with Higher Education Personnel Law No. 7100 from the Perspective of Faculty Members
    (Tuba-Turkish Acad Sciences, 2020) Korkmaz, Celalettin; Bozak, Ahmet; Bas, Muhammet
    This study aims to find out the faculty member opinions regarding the new regulations introduced with the Higher Education Law No. 7100. It employs the phenomenological design, which is a qualitative research design. The study group consists of 44 faculty members who voluntarily participated in the research. The faculty members' opinions were collected using a form that included standardized open-ended interview questions, which were then interpreted through content analysis. The results show that although academics have positive opinions about the new academic promotion system, they find the new regulations relatively inadequate. The participants making positive comments on the new regulations think that the new academic titles have international equivalence, differences between the titles are considered, and what these titles entail is made clearer thanks to these regulations. The participants who assert negative opinions about the regulations, on the other hand, think that these changes fail to bring a satisfactory improvement since they have simply changed instructors' titles, and even caused a loss of status for them. Therefore, they argue that such a change was not necessary. While the participants consider the granting of associate professorship title by the Interuniversity Board (UAK) without performing an oral exam as a positive development, they are mostly negative about the university tenure granting policies for the holders of this title.

    Perception of using e-learning platforms in the scope of the technology acceptance model (TAM): a scale development study
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Balaman, Fatih; Bas, Muhammet
    This study is aimed to develop a scale that measures university students' perception of using e-learning platforms by using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The sample consisted of 636 university students. The Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) results revealed 5-factors on a 6-items scale. The five factors that were revealed on the EFA analysis were called: Content and Pedagogy of the Platforms, Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use, Attitude Toward Using Technology, Instructional Design of the Platforms. The scale explains about 52.6% of the total variance. The findings obtained from the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were similar to the results obtained from EFA. Therefore, the factorial structure was verified. In terms of reliability, the Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient was calculated as 0.85 and it was split in half and the reliability was 0.94. The Cronbach's alpha values of five factors were found to be as follows: 0.93 (18 items), 0.92 (12 items), 0.76 (6 items), 0.75 (6 items), and 0.70 (4 items), respectively. Moreover, the results for the lower-upper 27% groups confirmed its discriminant validity. Overall, the present study achieved and introduced a valid and reliable measuring tool.
