This study aims to evaluate the learning-teaching centers in Türkiye through views of their directors and documents through a multidimensional framework, PROFXXI, based on contextualized understanding of institutional characteristics. Within the scope of the research, documents such as activity reports, annual evaluation reports, bulletins and policy documents openly published by centres or universities on their institutional web pages and interviews with directors of seven different centers have been analysed using qualitative content analysis. The findings reveal that Learning and Teaching Centers (LTCs) in Türkiye show substantial progress in instructor support, yet student support, technology integration, and evidence-based decision-making remain underdeveloped. Institutional differences affect engagement and structural maturity. To enhance impact, the study recommends establishing robust student feedback mechanisms, allocating dedicated staffing and budgeting for LTCs, and formally integrating these centers into institutional quality assurance and strategic planning processes.
