Mahşer-i Cümbüş, a pioneering piece of Modern Improvised Theatre, took the stage for Kültür students and theatre lovers on Thursday, December 7, at 19.00 at Akıngüç Auditorium and Art Centre.

Prof. Dr. Işıl Zeybek, Head of the Department of Communication Arts of the Faculty of Art and Design, who was included in the list of Hasan Arat, who was elected as the 35th president of Beşiktaş Gymnastics Club, as the Member of the Board of Directors Responsible for Communication, made a statement after the certificate ceremony. Emphasizing that she was elected as a female member on the 89th anniversary of Atatürk's giving Turkish women the right to vote and be elected, Prof. Dr. Zeybek said, “First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Hasan Arat for giving place to two female administrators in a male-dominated community. For the first time, two women are in management. I am sure that with the rights and freedoms given to Turkish women by Ghazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, even before the USA and England, Turkish women will come to a better place in the coming years. I think we will be role models for Türkiye in every sense. “Hopefully, with the power and cooperation of women, we will increase both the number of congress members and the number of women on the boards of directors.” she said. Stating that they want to see more women and children in the stadiums, our professor said, “We will launch a campaign in the coming days so that women and children can watch football matches in a more comfortable environment without swearing. I believe that men will also support us. I think we will be role models in this sense. We are looking to the future. Beşiktaş will rise again with a new synergy.” she said.

In this context, Leman Tomsu, one of Türkiye's first two female architects and the first female architecture professor, was selected for the 2022-24 period.

Our Dean of the Faculty of Architecture, who is a Member of the Tomsu Commemoration Program Committee, Prof. Dr. Neslihan Dostoğlu took part as an guest speaker at the symposium titled "A Pioneering Female Architect in the Republican Century: Leman Tomsu" held on December 1, 2023. Prof. Dr. Dostoğlu also has a book on Leman Tomsu published in 2013.

By the General Directorate of Civil Aviation, The supervision of T.C. Istanbul Kültür University Vocational School Program of Flight Operations Management was concluded as "Asymptopmatic" and the authority to provide training was also extended.

With this authorisation of the IKÜ Program of Flight Operations Management, International Civil Aviation Organization Disperse Training Regulation (ICAO Doc. 7192-AN/857 Part D-3) and Civil Aviation General Directorate Flight Operations Specialist License Regulation (SHY-UHU) has been registered once again that it meets the conditions in all aspects and is an approved program in accordance with international criteria.

Our Dean of the Faculty of Education Prof. Dr. Alim Kaya made evaluations on the results of PISA 2022, which drew attention in the education society with its results and was also taken into consideration in macro-level education policies.

Prof. Dr. Alim Kaya noted that the figures in the PISA 2022 report, which evaluates the mathematics, science and reading skills of 15-year-old students, may vary depending on the point of view and the criteria addressed, and evaluated Türkiye’s place and position as follows:

"One of the important points to be emphasized here is whether the comparison should be based on our ranking among all participating countries or within OECD countries. When we look at all participating countries, it is seen that a significant portion of these countries are far behind our level of development, in other words, we are not in the 'same class'. Therefore, a significant portion of these countries will not be a reference for our country. For this reason, it would be more accurate to make comparisons not in terms of our position among the 81 countries participating in the program, but rather according to our position among the 37 OECD countries." 

PISA 2022 RESULTS ARE NOT SURPRISING

Prof. Dr. Kaya pointed out that it is not surprising that our math, reading and science scores are below the average of OECD countries and said:

"The performances of our children and young people in the tests in the central exams, which have been applied in the transition from primary to secondary education and from secondary to higher education for nearly 50 years, are highly compatible with the PISA results. The 2023 YKS exam TYT, 2023 LYS test’s correct answer averages are an indicator of this. The harmony and similarity between the performance in both LGS and YKS tests and the performance in the cognitive skills measured in PISA is very clear and meaningful. These results have been telling us for years that the teaching of science and mathematics in our education system needs to improve." 

"IT IS CLEAR THAT NEW POLICIES ARE NEEDED IN EDUCATION"

Noting that the minimum and maximum student ratios for each skill area presented in PISA 2022 should also be carefully evaluated, Kaya continued his words as follows:

"It is thought-provoking that 39 out of every hundred 15-year-olds have not reached the minimum skill level. Again, as seen in the table, the rate of students who have not reached the basic skill level in this field in OECD countries is lower than our country. While the rate of students reaching the upper performance level in OECD countries is 9 percent, this rate in our country is approximately half, that is 5 percent. In short, it is clear that our education system needs new policies to ensure that 39 percent of our students acquire at least basic math skills. Only half of the students in OECD countries can acquire higher level skills. It is noteworthy that the proportion of students falling below the basic skill level in science skills is similar in OECD countries and in Türkiye. However, in OECD countries, the average rate of students reaching high level performance is close to twice the rate in Türkiye. A similar trend is observed in terms of reading skills. It is noteworthy that while only 2 percent of our children reach the upper performance level in this skill, the rate of students reaching the upper performance level in OECD countries is 7 percent, more than three times the rate in Türkiye. It is obvious that our situation in reading skills is more open to improvement than science and mathematics." 

THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION'S APPROACH IS PROMISING

Drawing attention to the Ministry of National Education's interest in PISA 2022 results and relations with other international assessment organizations, Prof. Dr. Alim Kaya said,

"The interest and effort to take developmental steps based on the results is satisfying. In particular, some of the innovations introduced by the Ministry of National Education Assessment and Evaluation Regulation published in the Official Gazette dated September 9, 2023 and numbered 32304, such as the use of units related to assessment and evaluation at the central and provincial levels, the decision to conduct output monitoring exams at the national level, and most importantly, the decision to plan and conduct some exams centrally and in written form in schools, may contribute to overcoming our problem in the acquisition of basic cognitive skills. However, while the interest in PISA and international assessment measurements is appropriate, there is also the risk that these exams will become the purpose of the education system after a while and take the system hostage, and caution should be taken in this regard."
