Abstract (2. Language): 
Universities have the potential to create an environment in which creativity flourishes. In such universities, students will have enriched opportunities for thinking, inquiry and innovation, as well as systematic engagement with research, social and cultural challenges and scientific thinking. To achieve the above-mentioned goal, a dynamic and persuasive procedure along with the efficient educational strategies will be required. Many universities and our expectation of them are completely different. Therefore reviewing educational practice and policies in current university programs is necessary if new approaches based on question-oriented, creative problem-solving and modern teaching methods are to be developed. This study investigates professors' perspectives on the potential of current educational strategies to encourage creativity in university students. Data was collected by a Likert type scale surveying university faculty from the three departments of a single university. The survey data reveals a strong tendency of university faculty to rely on didactic, memory-based instruction, despite the fact that respondents also recognized that this form of learning was not motivating for their current students. The recognition that, with the exception of the engineers, little change has occurred raises concerns about the education of young people in a rapidly changing world. From the very existence of the system, higher education has encompassed philosophies and aims directed at knowledge creation and cultural development.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Üniversitelerin yaratıcılığı ortaya çıkarma potansiyeli bulunmaktadır. Bu türden üniversitelerde öğrenciler sistematik bir şekilde araştırma, sosyal ve kültürel olaylarla ve bilimsel düşünmeyle ilgilenmenin yanı sıra düşünme, keşfetme ve icat etme fırsatı da bulabilmektedirler. Bu amaçlara ulaşabilmek içinse dinamik ve ikna edici bir süreçle birlikte etkili eğitim stratejilerine ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Birçok üniversite ve bizim onlardan beklentimiz oldukça farklıdır. Bu nedenle, eğer yeni yaklaşımların soru-odalı, yaratıcı problem-çözücü ve modern öğretim metotlarına uygun olabilmesini sağlamak amacıyla hali hazırda var olan üniversitelerdeki programlarında yer alan eğitim uygulamalarını ve politikalarını incelemek gerekmektedir. Bu çalışma üniversite öğrencilerinin yaratıcılıklarını teşvik edebilme amacıyla, şu anki eğitim stratejileri üzerine profesörlerin görüşlerini araştırmaktadır. Veri Likert tipi anket aracılığıyla tek bir üniversitedeki üç farklı bölümde toplanmıştır. Sonuçlar üniversite bünyesinde yer alan fakültenin didaktik ve ezbere-dayalı öğretime meyilli olduğunu göstermektedir. Ne var ki, katılımcılar bu türden bir yaklaşımın faydalı olmadığını belirtmişlerdir.
