Abstract

This study aims to develop a rubric to evaluate the dissertations implemented in the fields of educational and social sciences. In the development of this rubric, the acquisition requirements concerning knowledge, skills, and competence at the doctorate level in the European and Turkish qualifications frameworks, the legal framework of Turkish higher education, and the perceptions of 12 experts in the fields of educational and social sciences concerning the common competences of the dissertations were considered. The rubric can contribute to the evaluation of dissertations completed in the field of educational and social sciences concerning these dimensions and provide PhD students, researchers, and academics with a guide to evaluate their academic studies based on an empirical instrument.
