Course Objectives The aim of this course is to make the student conduct a research supervised by a thesis advisor from the beginning to the very end starting from the statement of a research question to data collection and analysis, using technical, theoretical and applied knowledge and skills obtained from the program courses and write a thesis from this research, as well as equip the student with skills and competencies required as a postgraduate applicant and researcher.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • will be able to possess in depth and comprehensive knowledge in the area in which thesis studies is conducted.
  • will be able to independently formulate an original research question and specify how it can be studied.
  • will be able to independently pursue studies in a selected field.
  • will be able to effectively communicate (oral and written) a research and research results.
  • will be able to obtain the competence to use required methods for studying a research problem.
  • will be able to critically and scientifically evaluate reviewed research, detect its limitations and what can be done to overcome these limitations.
  • will be able to analyze, grasp, integrate and make the synthesis of different theoretical perspectives in explaining a specific scientific problem.
Course Description This course is designed to independently conduct a research and acquire the necessary competencies. Accordingly, a proper research question is identified under the guidance of an advisor, an extensive literature review is made, and a unique hypothesis and research design are determined by taking into consideration the methodologies and gaps in the literature. Within the framework of the research design, the relevant data is collected and a thesis including the theoretical basis, method, results and discussion of the research is written.
