Abstract (2. Language): 
This paper examines how social-class mobility is measured in two major models of mobility research and discusses some of the main methodological issues stemming from their perceptions of society, their assumptions about the unit of social and class mobility, the nature of agency that the unit of analysis is considered to be performing and the causal significance of this agency in allocating the units to class positions. The paper argues that the underlying assumptions need to be examined empirically and as part of mobility research itself rather than being transferred into mobility research as facts, if research in this field is going to fulfil the task(s) that it aims at performing.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Bu çalışma hareketlilik araştırmalarının iki önemli modelinde toplumsal-sınıf hareketliliğinin nasıl ölçüldüğünü incelemekte ve bu modellerin toplum algıları ile toplumsal-sınıf hareketliliğinin analiz birimi, bu analiz biriminin gerçekleştirdiği düşünülen failliğin doğası ve bu failliğin analiz birimlerini sınıf konularına tahsis ve tasnif etmede sahip olduğu nedensel önem hakkındaki kabullerinden kaynaklanan yöntemsel sorunları tartışmaktadır. Çalışma, eğer bu sahadaki araştırmalar yerine getirmeyi amaçladıkları bilimsel ve toplumsal işlevleri gerçekten yerine getirmek istiyorlarsa kendi önkabullerini peşinen ve olgusal gerçeklermişcesine araştırma sürecine katmak yerine bunları ampirik ve araştırma sürecinin bir parçası olarak sorgulamak ve incelemek zorunda olduklarını belirtmektedir.
