Dârü’l-Fünûn’dan Günümüze Türkiye’de İlahiyat/İslâmi İlimler Fakültelerinin Akademik Yapılanma Sorunu Üzerine Bir İnceleme
An Analysis of the Problem of Academic Structuring of Islamic Sciences Faculties in Turkey from the Darulfunun to the Present

Summary/Abstract: Turkey’s higher religious education institutions were established for religious scientific research or vocational training. Higher religious education institutions have preserved their existence by transforming/diversifying under the influence of formal/informal elements in the historical context. In this context, the faculty’s quality, purpose, and institutionalization problems, the issues of employment and qualification of the faculty members and students, and the academic structuring problems of the faculties were also discussed. The discussion point of methodological issues related to higher religious education starts from the academic structuring form of faculties. Because the Islamic Sciences Faculties continue their education and their graduates are employed, the problems are thought to have been solved or not. In this framework, the issue of academic structuring of the Islamic Sciences Faculties stands out as a problem that remains off the agenda but does not lose its depth. In this context, the main problem of the study is the course of the academic structuring process of higher religious education throughout the history of the Republic. The sub-problems of the study are which factors come to the fore in creating departments and branches of Islamic Sciences Faculties, and for what process and purpose the departments in the faculty were established. In addition, whether the academic structuring form of higher religious education is compatible with the mission of producing scientific knowledge of the faculties has been accepted as a sub-problem.
