About the Program
Due to Turkey's Higher Education Board’s 11.06.1997 dated and 22449 numbered article, undergraduate students cannot be registered for the Curriculum and Instruction Program at Faculties of Education, so in this field, only master’s and doctoral degrees are offered. Considering the size of the education system, the number of students, teachers, and schools, and the need for teachers; the importance of postgraduate education programs to be opened in the field of education programs and teaching is further understood. Here, our educational programs and our graduate program of education educate candidates, who will take on important tasks such as well-training of teacher candidates, organizing effective in-service training, in the best way possible. In addition, our master’s education which is the first step of educating academic staff in the field of education also allows opportunities to educate instructors, who can teach vocational courses in teacher education programs.
