Özet:

There are 49 countries in the Bologna Process, where Member States are joined with the goal of creating the European Higher Education Area. Turkey became a member of the country in 2001. One of Bologna’s main vehicles is AKTS. In this context, the study was carried out in Turkey with the aim of identifying the extent to which higher education institutions awarded with the AKTS Label reflected the AKTS Information Package provided in the Bologna Process on their websites. Question of the research: at what level have the universities awarded with the AKTS label in Turkey reflected the information packages provided in the Bologna Process (corporate, program and course) on their web pages? Is this reflection different according to the status of the universities (state or foundation) and the establishment years (old or new)? The data for sub-related research issues is provided by the scan of the English section of the ACTS Information Packages on the website of 31 universities within the research scope, therefore, by document analysis. The relevant web pages have been studied and compared on the basis of some of the chosen faculty, programs and courses. The quantum data obtained from the review of the Internet pages is summarized by the frequency distribution. The research data was analyzed by content analysis because it was mainly quality and then. The main findings obtained in the study are as follows: It is clear that all the universities involved in the study have indicated the corporate information package with largely accurate content on their web pages. Moreover, it has been observed that all universities are placed on their web pages in the program information packages. However, it is understood that some universities do not provide information about the recognition of the previous learning that should be included in the program information package, the degree level, the degree acquired, the qualification conditions and rules and the form of teaching. Although the universities under the research scope have placed on their web pages the course information packages related to the courses studied, it has been found that some of the materials provided in the package do not include the necessary content. For example; the recommended resources related to the course, the learning outcomes of the course, the language in which the course is offered, the type of learning, the planned learning activities and methods, the content of the course, evaluation. When the relevant web pages of the universities under the research scope are studied in the context of courses, more deficiencies have been detected compared to the program information packages. The universities awarded with the ACTS label and all higher education institutions, taking into account the ACTS User Guide, should create, develop and publish the ACTS Information Pack in full on their websites. Keeping up-to-date information packages is another important aspect of consideration. These studies will have a great impact on ensuring the transparency and recognition of higher education institutions on both national and international platforms, and increasing mobility in higher education.
