Özet:

 This study focuses on the evaluation of archival documents and projects of the Konya Teachers Training School for Male, which is located in the city center of Konya and is known today as Konya High School. The history of teachers training schools in the Ottoman geography can be traced back to just after the declaration of Tanzimat. Aiming to train the teachers needed by an education system undergoing radical changes, these institutions continued to exist in Türkiye with similar motivations after the proclamation of the Republic. In this context, the Konya Teachers Training Schools for Male and Female, the construction phases of which were completed by architect Muzaffer, can be shown among the Ottoman period educational institutions aiming to train teachers. The archival documents in the Republican Archives of the Teachers Training School for Male, which is understood to have been completed in 1917 from the inscription on it, are very valuable in terms of containing details about the building that are unknown to date. In the early years of the Republic, the Ministry of Education requested information on the physical conditions of many schools. The requested information on the physical condition, construction material, plan features, history and other qualities of the buildings were submitted to the Ministry of Education in a specific scheme. Examples of this can be seen in İzmir, Samsun, Ordu and Karahisarışarki. The file dated 1925 and prepared for Konya Teachers Training School for Male was also prepared in accordance with this scheme. The file contains the plan drawings showing the floor plans of the building and a photograph. Instructions on how to prepare the photograph and plan drawing are also included in the file. In addition, three floor plan sheets drawn in white ink on blue background paper are also in this file. These plan drawings are thought to be the first projects of the building. Other projects of the building are included in another file dated 1928. The floor plans dated 1925 include notes on the functions of the rooms. In this way, we can access details about the use of space in 1925. Accordingly, the basement floor of the building was used for dining hall and storage functions. On the ground floor, there are classrooms, a chemistry laboratory, a library, a mosque and a teachers room. On the second floor, there are dormitory, infirmary, pharmacy, examination room, art studio, museum, and administrative offices. No notes have been shared regarding the rooms on the top floor. When the photos in both files are compared with the photos found in the archives of different institutions related to the structure, it is observed that the garden gate opening to the street where the main facade of the building is located was not included in the original project and it may have been constructed only between 1928-1938. In this study, an effort has been made to provide a new interpretation of the historical process of the Konya Teachers Training School for Male based on the original project files and archive sources previously presented in various books, articles, and encyclopaedia entries.

 Bu çalışma Konya il merkezinde yer alan ve günümüzde Konya Lisesi olarak bilinen Konya Erkek Muallim Mektebine ait arşiv belgelerinin ve projelerinin değerlendirmesini odağına almaktadır. Muallim mekteplerinin Osmanlı coğrafyasındaki geçmişini Tanzimatın ilanından hemen sonrasına götürmek mümkündür. Radikal değişimlere sahne olan eğitim sisteminin ihtiyaç duyduğu öğretmenleri yetiştirmeyi amaçlayan bu kurumlar, Cumhuriyetin ilanı sonrasında da benzer motivasyonlar ile Türkiye coğrafyasında varlıklarını sürdürmüşlerdir. Bu kapsamda mimar Muzaffer tarafından inşa aşamaları tamamlanmış olan Konya Erkek ve Kız Muallim Mektepleri, öğretmen yetiştirmeyi amaçlayan Osmanlı dönemi eğitim kurumları arasında gösterilebilir. 1917 yılında tamamlandığı üzerindeki kitabeden anlaşılan Erkek Muallim Mektebinin Cumhuriyet Arşivlerinde bulunan proje, fotoğraf ve belgeleri ise yapıya dair bugüne dek bilinmeyen detayları içermesi bağlamında oldukça kıymetlidir. 1925 ve 1928 yıllarına ait olan söz konusu belgeler, özgün proje dosyaları ve yapının Cumhuriyet dönemindeki kullanımına dair vaziyetini sunmaktadır. Ayrıca, bazı proje dosyalarının ise 1925 tarihinden önce çizildiği, yapının ilk inşa aşamasına dair projeler olduğu tahmin edilmektedir. Böylelikle bugüne dek literatüre geçmemiş özgün belgeler, bu çalışma vasıtası ile literatüre kazandırılacaktır.
