THE OTTOMAN IMAGE OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Summary/Abstract: In this research, it was aimed to determine the Ottoman image of university students. The study structured with an interview form approach in accordance with qualitative research procedures. A homogeneous sampling method was preferred in the study. For this purpose, Bingöl University Departments of Philosophy and Zaza Language and Literature students were selected as subgroups. Thirty students were employed in total, fifteen of whom were selected among the final year students. The data was collected by standardised open-ended interview method, and was analysed by content analysis technique. The survey found that the students had a positive, partly neutral and rarely negative image of the Ottoman concept, close to half, that they physically used the descriptions of the Ottoman paintings without specifying any gender but using male descriptions, that the images for the Ottoman interior were mostly positive. In addition, the majority of the students were of the opinion that the Ottoman was not an imperialist state, on the contrary as a religious state.
