A Bibliographical Assessment of the Studies on Education in Ottoman Madrasas of the Classical Period

This paper essentially presents a bibliography of the works on the Ottoman madrasas carried out during the Republican period. There were a few studies during first years of this period. But there was an increase after the 1940s and the increase was steeper after 1980s. Initially, the studies reflected a negative outlook but later they became more objective. The paper also gives an outline of the nature of the education in the Ottoman madrasas. In this framework, the paper reviews the structure of the organization, the status of teaching staff, and the nature of educational activities in these institutions. I believe that the paper gives the reader a sound knowledge about how the Ottoman madrasas progressed right form their foundation, the changes in their structure and in the nature of educational activities.
