This paper presents the results of a 2-phase study conducted in order to understand the current state of lighting design education in interior design departments in Turkey and Northern Cyprus, and to report whether or not there is a need to adopt a different approach to lighting design education. In the first phase, information about undergraduate and graduate courses offered specifically for lighting design and those that include lighting design in addition to other building sciences, such as acoustics and HVAC, was gathered. In the second phase, department chairs were contacted and asked to comment on their approach to lighting design education. The results of the first phase revealed the lack of compulsory courses in the subject, an inadequacy of practical course hours, variations in the weekly hours of courses, differences in the credit values, and a scarcity of graduate programs with courses in lighting design. The results of the second phase, obtained in the statements of respondents, pointed out issues to be addressed regarding the lack of facilities and equipment for practice, the number of compulsory courses, and limited collaboration between industry and universities. In the light of our findings, it is thought that it may be necessary to adopt a different approach to lighting design education in the departments of interior design.

Keywords: Interior design education, lighting design, lighting design education.

Bu makale, T�rkiye ve Kuzey K�br�s�taki i�mimarl�k b�l�mlerinde verilmekte olan ayd�nlatma tasar�m� e�itiminin mevcut durumunu ve ayd�nlatma tasar�m� e�itiminde farkl� bir yakla��m�n benimsenmesinin gerekli olup olmad��n� anlamak i�in ger�ekle�tirilen iki a�amal� bir �al��man�n sonu�lar�n� sunar. �lk a�amada, ayd�nlatma tasar�m� i�in verilmekte olan lisans ve lisans�st� �zel dersler ile bu konuyu i�ermekte olan ilgili di�er genel dersler hakk�nda bilgi toplanm��t�r. �kinci a�amada, b�l�m ba�kanlar� ile temas kurularak, ayd�nlatma tasar�m� e�itimine yakla��mlar� ile ilgili olarak bilgi talep edilmi�tir. �lk a�aman�n sonu�lar�, konu ile ilgili zorunlu derslerin say�s�n�n az oldu�unu, uygulama yap�lan ders saatlerinin yetersizli�ini, haftal�k ders saatlerindeki farkl�l�klar�, ders kredilerindeki farkl�l�klar� ve ayd�nlatma tasar�m� ile ilgili derslerin lisans�st� programlar�nda �ok fazla yer bulamad��n� ortaya koymu�tur. Kat�l�mc�lar�n geribildirimleri ile elde edilen ikinci a�aman�n sonu�lar�, tesis ve ekipman eksiklikleri, zorunlu derslerin az olmas� ve e�itim kurumlar� ile sanayi aras�ndaki s�n�rl� i�birli�i ile ilgili sorunlar�n giderilmesi gere�ini i�aret etmektedir. Bu bulgular�n ��nda, i� mekan tasar�m� b�l�mlerinde verilmekte olan ayd�nlatma tasar�m� e�itimi i�in farkl� bir yakla��m�n benimsenmesinin gerekli olabilece�i d��n�lmektedir.

Anahtar Kelimeler: ��mimarl�k e�itimi, ayd�nlatma tasar�m�, ayd�nlatma tasar�m� e�itimi.
