Abstract

Sürdürülebilirlik hem uygulama hem de akademik alanda önemli kavramlardan bir haline gelmiştir. Bu nedenle bu uygulamaları gerçekleştirecek bilgi ve beceriye sahip nitelikli elemana ihtiyaç bulunmaktadır. Halkla ilişkiler ve iletişim alanı, sürdürülebilirliğin yayılmasında önemli görevler üstlenen alanlardan biridir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye'deki halkla ilişkiler eğitimi veren lisans programlarında sürdürülebilirlik olgusunun genel yapısını ortaya çıkarmaktır. Bu amaçla, Türkiye'de halkla ilişkiler eğitimi veren 70 üniversitenin ders müfredatları incelenmiştir. Çalışmada betimleyici araştırma tasarımı yöntemi kullanılmıştır. İncelenen üniversitelerin eğitim içerikleri, içerik analizi yöntemi ile belirlenen başlıklar altında değerlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, Türkiye’deki halkla ilişkiler müfredatlarında sürdürülebilirlik konusunun istenen düzeyde olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Türkiye'deki halkla ilişkiler programlarının sadece 12 tanesinin ders müfredatlarında sürdürülebilirlik odaklı derslerin var olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu programlardan 1 tanesi devlet üniversitesinde, 11 tanesi ise özel üniversitede bulunmaktadır. 12 programda da sürdürülebilirliğe yönelik dersler 2. ve 4. sınıfta seçmeli ders olarak sunulmaktadır.

Abstract

Sustainability has become one of the important concepts both in practice and academic fields. For this reason, there is a need for qualified personnel with the knowledge and skills to carry out these applications. The field of public relations and communication is one of the fields that play an important role in the spread of sustainability. The aim of this study is to reveal the general structure of the sustainability phenomenon in undergraduate programs providing public relations education in Turkey. For this purpose, the curricula of 70 universities providing public relations education in Turkey were examined. Descriptive research design method was used in the study. The educational contents of the examined universities were evaluated under the headings determined by the content analysis method. It has been determined that only 12 of the public relations programs in Turkey have sustainability-oriented courses in their curriculum. One of these programs is in a state university and 11 of them are in foundation universities. Sustainability courses are offered as electives in the 2nd and 4th grades in all 12 programs.
