An oral history try on the process of the foundation of Ankara University Faculty of Education

With this study, the story of the establishment of the Ankara University Faculty of Educational Sciences is tried to be presented through making use of both the written documents and the narratives of three important people having an active role during the establishment of this process. Many of the developments, difficulties, and solution efforts taking place during the foundation period are tried to be introduced by the original narratives of Prof. Dr. Ihsan Doğramacı, Prof. Dr. Hamide Topçuoğlu and Prof. Dr. Yasar Karayalçın. While the pre-faculty attempts to found educational faculties and their failures are seen in the written documents, the personal experiences and the lived things which cannot be seen in the written documents are hidden in the speeches of these people. Therefore, this study does not have a further state that aims to complete what is incomplete in the written documents
