among lecturers and students parallel to (better before) diffusion<br />

of e-government courses into core PA curricula in Turkey.<br />

In this study we have focused on on e-government education at<br />

the undergraduate departments of public administration in Turkey.<br />

Our researches, however, have found that other departments and<br />

schools do not offer e-government courses, but similar courses<br />

such as information technology. Future studies may focus on<br />

graduate programs teaching e-government courses at the public<br />

administration department. In addition, since e-government studies<br />

also include practical sides, other scholars may focus on practical<br />

aspects of e-government research and education. As authors,<br />

we consider that it will be very useful if both theoretical and practical<br />

sides of e-government would be examined and compared.<br />
