"Theodore Metochites, a distinguished figure in the intellectual and political landscape of the early Palaiologan period (1261-1341), was born in Constantinople in 1270. The On Morals or Concerning Education is an extensive disquisition about the significance and status of cultural education (paideia) in the context of Palaiologan society. The oration might also be seen at least partly as an autobiographical narrative exposing Metochites's inner reflections and anxieties. The On Morals belongs to the genre of the protreptikos, a hortatory speech designed to encourage its readers to study philosophy and attain virtue. With the On Morals Metochites sought to establish himself as a continuator of ancient moral philosophy in late Byzantium"--

According to Plato, a good state administration ("best"/ideal state) can only be combined with a good society ("best"/ideal society), and a good society can only be achieved with a good education ("best"/ideal education). He saw it as possible: "It must be able to be turned towards the most luminous aspect of existence, the direction we call -good-, right? Yes, education is the art of turning this power of the soul - for the good - and finding the easiest and most unfailing way for it. Education only leads him to the good side. It is up to us, the founders of the state, to lead people towards the knowledge of what we regard as the highest, to bring them out of the darkness into the light" (p.236-237). Since education is an idea-based and therefore an "ideological device" (Althusser, 2010), it acts as a kind of bridge between the state and society (Wiborg, 2000). This is the importance of analyzing Plato's Republic in terms of education policies.

McDonaldlaştırılmış insanlar, McDonaldlaştırılmış Üniversiteler, McProfesörler ve McAkademi. Belirtilen bütün kavramların başlarına yerleştirilen bir sözcük "Mc". Bu kavramın hayatımıza etkisini göz ardı etmek mümkün değil. Söz konusu kavramının ilk çıkış noktası fast-food sektörüydü ve fakat belli bir süreden sonra onu aşarak insanlığın her alanını işgal etti. Başta okul ve üniversiteler olmak üzere hizmet alanlarının hegemonik gücü haline geldi. Oluşan hegemonik gücün içerisinde hayatımızdaki bazı geleneksel kavramlar içleri tamamen boşalarak yeni kavramlara dönüştü. Aynılaşma ilkesine maruz kalan "Öğretmenler" "McÖğretmenlere", "Üniveristeler" "McÜniversitelere", "Akademi" "McAkademiye", "Profesörlerler" McProfesörlere ve "Meslekler" de "McMesleklere" dönüştü. Oluşma safhasında olan bu durumun tehlikesi insanlık için vahim bir durum teşkil etmektedir. Çünkü insanlığın tarih boyunca gelişmesini sağladığı kurum ve alanların tamamen öznel paradigmalarını kaybedip hepsinin aynı oluşum içerisine girdiğini düşünsenize? Bu soruya yanıt vermek için yola çıkan bu çalışmanın amacı, dünyada "Yükseköğretimin McDonaldlaştırılması" kavramını yerli alanyazına kazandırarak bu konuyla ilgili sonraki çalışmalara yol göstermektir.

WOS: 000461078400001 ; Citizenship education was influenced by fundamental changes that happened following the end of the Cold War in 1989. Traditional citizenship education aiming to build a monolithic national identity, disseminate an image of homogeneous society and transmit the knowledge of political system has evolved towards modern citizenship education characterised by an emphasis on human rights, democracy, the rule of law, respect for diversity and a concern to develop students' political participation skills. The transition to modern citizenship education in Turkey started with the pushing of international educational projects and is still underway. Drawing on critical discourse analysis, this study explores what kind of citizenship education the 2018 Social Studies Courses Programme of Study envisages. The study found that the new programme intensely reflects the characteristics of traditional citizenship education. Taking into account this study's findings might lead to more effective implementation of the programme and increase the success of future curriculum reforms.
