Abstract
This paper introduces and discusses an extensive case of VUCA in Turkey resulting from global and local calamities in terms of the facts and their reflections to Educational Technology. Turkey has experienced a successive events of misfortune starting with Covid-19 pandemic and followed by massive earthquakes that took place on February 2023, each of which has deepened VUCA and both resulted in failure in coping with VUCA, especially in Educational Technology. This paper thus, intends to draw attention to the mistakes made during these atmospheres by representing the facts and reactions of principles, which, we believe, may guide the rest in similar future cases. In this report, we firstly introduce the outlines of VUCA and the facts about February Earthquakes. Secondly, we discuss VUCA cases within the context of Educational Technology. Lastly, based on what we learned from these cases, suggestions for shareholders are presented to relieve Educational Technology.
