METHODOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF THE STUDY PROGRAM TURKISH LANGUAGE AND LITERACY USING OPERATION RESEARCH

Abstract

Study program in higher education is the pillar that integrates all other stakeholders. It provides knowledge, skills and competences to the students according to the elaborates for their accreditation (approval). Qualifications are defining the future profile of the student in terms of what he will be able to work. But, not only the essence of the study program is important. The pedagogical / methodological aspect is also important, in terms of pedagogy – how the teachers teach (in theory and practice) and methodology – what are the views, beliefs and values through set of procedures, techniques and approaches that a teacher (group) can develop in order to help students to learn. This is the “How qualifications are delivered” issue and is part of a greater QA research in HE (EHEA area). Case study is conducted to the study program of Turkish Language and Literacy at the Philological Faculty (Goce Delcev University), towards determination of the levels achieved regarding a specific teaching/methodological criteria, in order of detecting the best courses in those criteria, using operation research modeling.
