Abstract

Many scientific studies highlight emergency distance education's two fundamental problems during the COVID-19 pandemic. The first is the large number of students who need more access to communication technologies, and the second is the digital incompetence of educators and students. This study, which was prepared by Turkish and Kazakh academics working within the scope of the Bolashak scholarship program, aims to question the cooperation potentials for the development of distance education, which will become more critical in the future, and to propose policies to solve the main problems in the pandemic. In this context, the issues in Turkey and Kazakhstan during the pandemic were collected and generalised. SWOT analyses were conducted for the potential of cooperation between the two countries and both countries' exchange/internship programs. The findings show that both countries have intense distance education experiences, cooperation potential, and sufficient opportunities to strengthen weak elements by developing mobility and scholarship programs. Several strategies are suggested for these improvements. These recommendations provide a perspective for these two countries and all countries continuing distance education after the pandemic.

远程教育如何为发展中国家提供机会?土耳其和哈萨克斯坦的例子

许多科学研究强调了COVID-19大流行期间应急远程教育的两个基本问题。第一个是大量的学生需要更多的通信技术，第二个是教育工作者和学生在数字方面的无能。本研究由土耳其和哈萨克斯坦学者在Bolashak奖学金项目范围内开展工作，旨在探讨远程教育发展的合作潜力，这在未来将变得更加重要，并提出解决疫情主要问题的政策建议。在这方面，收集和概括了大流行期间土耳其和哈萨克斯坦的问题。对两国的合作潜力和两国的交流/实习项目进行了SWOT分析。研究结果表明，两国都有丰富的远程教育经验和合作潜力，并有足够的机会通过发展流动和奖学金项目来加强薄弱环节。针对这些改进提出了几种策略。这些建议为这两个国家和所有国家在大流行后继续进行远程教育提供了一个视角。

期刊介绍： ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND SUSTAINABILITY ISSUES ISSN 2345-0282 (online) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal, serving as a platform to foster multi/interdisciplinary innovations that bring together the research communities and the end-users being affected. It is where theory meets practice, evident in the authors being experts across the industrial value chain – including business visionaries, regulatory and standards bodies, and especially pan-European networking through public and private sector partnerships (PPPs). Accepted papers present outcomes of initiatives and findings across all fields of science and technology, especially social sciences and humanities. Multi/interdisciplinary approach is encouraged. Recent additions to the already well-accomplished editorial board includes experts from the energy and information and communication technologies (ICT) sectors, particularly focused on advances to the state of the arts in environmental sustainability developments. This journal publishes original research papers that are rich with case studies of modern demonstrations, presenting innovative solutions to socio-economic and socio-technical problems that plague modern societies. It is a journal that is positioned as collaborative platform where theory meets practice, which is accomplished by publishing authors who’ve uncovered new linkages between data formulation and the underpinning theories, cases, observations, and validated hypotheses arising from the analysis of that data. ESI journal scope includes as well a particular focus on the business development side of smart electricity grids regarding financial or innovative technological aspects surrounding: renewable production, energy storage and management, construction materials, retrofitting, urban planning, and the trading of actors within emerging markets affected by energy supply and demand tradeoff.
