The Role of University in the Education of Writers of Children’s Literature: The Model of Aarhus University Çocuk Edebiyatı Yazarlarının Eğitiminde Üniversitelerin Rolü: Aarhus Üniversitesi Örneği
To be children's book writer is becoming a career for many people at the present. It can be seen that some people who are only aiming at providing financial gain or recognition because to be writer is not a compulsory prerequisite are called authors. However, some people in different areas who have knowledges about this area, artistic talent and the ability to recognize the child are able to produce qualified works. Writers and publishers have a major responsibility to contribute to children's reading culture, to ensure that children and books are friends, and to open doors to new life experiences for the child. Occasionally, the presence of parents who are unable to choose a qualified book for their child, sometimes with regard to their level of education, increases the importance of artists and publishing houses to work diligently on children's literature products and to put forth rigorous controls. At this point, it can be emphasized that it is important to provide education support for writers-illustrators and publishers who will produce quality works in the field of children's literature and publishing. In this context, this study is a qualitative research. The study aimed to examine the educational effectiveness of the Aarhus University in Denmark as part of the role of universities in the education of children's literature authors. For this purpose, interviews with 9 children's book authors participating in the Children's Literature Writing School (Forfatterskolen for Børnelitteratur) conducted by the Center for Children's Literature and Media (Center for Børns Litteratur og Medier) in Aarhus University were examined. The data of the study was obtained through document analysis. In analyzing the data, content analysis was used.
