Case of Obtaining Permission for Data Collection in Turkey within the Context of Academic Freedom and Ethics |
| Idris Sahin, Fatma Kesik |
Abstract |
| The main purpose of this qualitative study is to identify the opinions of academicians about the case of obtaining permission for data collection in Turkey within the context of academic freedom and ethics. A case-study approach was used to collect the data. The study was conducted with the participation of 41 academicians. The data were collected with e-mail interviewing and analysed with content analysis. The results revealed that the academicians experience serious problems regarding obtaining permission to conduct research in educational institutions. The reasons for not allowing the data collection tools to be used in the research studies were primarily being focused on social and political issues, such as mother tongue, religion, race, gender, etc. Based on the results, it can be suggested that the participants' suggestions should be paid attention and more objective authorities such as the ethics committees of universities should be authorized to give research. |
