Ayşe CANER serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Educational Sciences at Boğaziçi University's Faculty of Education, where she has held academic positions since 1998—initially as Instructor (1998-2011) and subsequently as Assistant Professor (2011-present), though her current directory title confirms Associate Professor status. Her institutional roles include teaching core courses such as Educational Administration (ED 352) and Program Development (ED 270), alongside supervision of graduate research.
Her academic credentials feature a BA (1983) and MA (1986) from Ankara University, complemented by an MA from Ohio State University (1989) and PhD from the University of Pittsburgh (1997). Educational milestones are structured as:
- Ankara University: BA (1983), MA (1986)
- Ohio State University: MA (1989)
- University of Pittsburgh: PhD (1997)
Research expertise centers on Educational Administration and Leadership, Educational Policy, and Program Development/Implementation, with empirical work examining Turkish educational structures through lenses of policy fidelity, administrative efficacy, and student outcomes. Her scholarship consistently bridges theoretical frameworks with institutional practice, particularly in laboratory school environments.
Publication analysis reveals persistent focus on Turkish educational reform (1986-2010), with dominant themes in teacher-student dynamics (e.g., 2010 Cross-Cultural Research study), school development projects (2004), and policy implementation failures (1999 credit system analysis). Methodologically, her work combines qualitative case studies with quantitative evaluation metrics.
Key recognitions include:
- KALDER Expertise Group of the Year 2000 for Total Quality Management in education
- Turkish Ministry of Education Ph.D. Scholarship (1987-1994)
Mentorship encompasses 13 completed theses (8 master's, 1 PhD) and 5 ongoing supervisees across topics like refugee education and teacher precarity. Project leadership includes the European Union-funded European Values Education (EVE) initiative (Ref: 503068-LLP-1-2009-1-NL-COMENIUS-CMP) and Erasmus Program collaborations with Bremen University (2006-2007), demonstrating sustained international engagement.
