Abstract (2. Language):
Continuing education centers mainly organize activities for the society in the fields
that have gained importance on the improvement of individuals with a view of career
building, improving professional knowledge and skills, achieving new skills and
supplying individual development needs. Such centers have been established within
universities through the principle of making continuing education accessible to
everyone as a starting point for a lifelong learning process. These centers which aim
at providing continuing education, implement more flexible programs compared to
those executed at higher education institutions. In this study, the structure and
functions of Continuing Education Centers at Turkish Universities are investigated.
The scope of the study includes all the centers that have web pages established
under state and public universities in Turkey. Data pertaining to structure and
functions of the centers meeting this criterion, the number of which is 43 in total
comprising 34 state and 9 private universities, have been evaluated. As a result of the
study it was discovered that these centers had very similar foundation principles and
organizational structures.
