Researchers’ Perceptions of Scientific Research and Educational Research
Öz: The researchers of educational faculties conduct educational research, pure scientific research or discipline-based educational research as to their interest. All of these researches are important and contribute to the improvement of these faculties. However, as these faculties take the name of education, there are some opinions that show educational and discipline-based educational research should be more focused on. On the other hand, pure scientific researchers believe that the kernel of science is pure scientific research. Based on these arguments, this study tried to give voice to researchers of educational faculties. Thus, the aim of this study is to identify researchers’ perceptions of scientific research (SR), pure scientific research (PSR), educational research (ER) and discipline-based educational research (DBER). To achieve this goal, phenomenology was carried out. The sample was formed through maximum variation sampling. The participants of the study consisted of 10 researchers working at Atatürk University Kâzım Karabekir Education Faculty. The data obtained through semi-structured interviews were analyzed through content analysis. The findings showed that the researchers described the SR as a systematic process of gathering and analyzing data; PSR as theoretical research which tried to understand the nature of a discipline; ER as an applied research related to education and training; and DBER as a combination of ER and PSR. Moreover, it was seen that the researchers believed that DBER did not contribute to the educational system of country due to some reasons such as policy and lack of DBER researchers.

Araştırmacıların Bilimsel Araştırma ve Eğitim Araştırması Algıları
Öz: Eğitim fakülteleri araştırmacıları eğitim araştırmaları, alan araştırmaları ve alan eğitimi araştırmaları yapmaktadırlar. Tüm bu araştırma türleri önemlidir ve fakültelerin gelişimine katkı sağlamaktadır. Ancak, bazı araştırmacılar, eğitim fakültesi olduğu için eğitim ve alan eğitimi araştırmalarının daha fazla önemsenmesi gerekliliğini belirtmektedir. Öte yandan, alan araştırmacıları bilimin çekirdeğini alan eğitimi araştırmalarının oluşturduğunu ileri sürmektedir. Bu argümanları baz alan bu çalışma, eğitim fakültesi araştırmacılarına kulak vermeye çalışmıştır. Bu kapsamda, çalışmanın amacı, araştırmacıların bilimsel araştırma, eğitim araştırmaları, alan araştırmaları ve alan eğitimi araştırmaları algılarını belirlemektir. Bu amacı gerçekleştirmek için, olgubilim deseni tercih edilmiştir. Maksimum çeşitlilik örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenen örneklemde Atatürk Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakültesi’nde çalışan 10 araştırmacı yer almıştır. Görüşme yoluyla elde edilen veriler içerik analizine tabi tutulmuştur. Analiz sonucuna göre, araştırmacılar bilimsel araştırmayı veri toplama ve analiz etmenin sistematik süreci, alan araştırmasını bir disiplinin doğasını analamaya çalışan kuramsal araşatırma, eğitim araştırmasını eğitim ve öğretimle alakalı olan uygulamalı araştırma ve alan eğitimi araştırmasını eğitim ve alan araştırmalarının birleşimi olarak tanımlamaktadır. Ayrıca, alan eğitimi araştırmalarının politika ve alan eğitimi araştırmacı sayısının azlığı gibi nedenlerden dolayı ülkenin eğitim sistemine katkı sağlamadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
