12 - Turkey - Teaching methods

There is no arrangement on national or institutional level on the selection of teaching methods. In general, academic staffs are free to choose teaching methods appropriate for the courses that they teach. In some cases academic staff, department, faculty or higher school can decide together. For example this way is preferred generally as shared programs are applied in preparatory foreign language classes. Lecture-based instruction is common in most undergraduate programs. In recent years student centered-teaching methods are known to be used more and more. Especially courses in seminary form that require preparation, presentation, participation and discussion from students are more prevalent on graduate degree levels. Some lessons naturally require practiced studies. For example there are compulsory laboratory practices in science and engineering fields. Some courses or programs have a training component.

The use of communication and information technologies in conducting teaching activities becomes more prevalent day by day.
