* Part time

The Department of Mathematics and Science Education coordinates several teacher education programs, namely Science Education, Primary School Mathematics Education, Chemistry Education (and Teaching Chemistry), Secondary School Mathematics Education (and Teaching Mathematics), and Physics Education (and Teaching Physics).

The department aims to produce science and mathematics educators who are able to meet the increasing demand for high quality teaching. The programs also encourage students to benefit from experiences in both formal and informal learning settings investigating the teaching of science and mathematics. With the strong focus on research, the programs prepare students to be informed consumers of educational research, to carry out action research as practitioners and as strong candidates for graduate studies. Graduates are expected to be reflective and competent educators, sensitive to the demands of their job, responsive to a developing education system and technological requirements, committed to continuing their own professional development, and ready to play a leading role in the field of science and mathematics education.

All programs include courses offered by the departments of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (predominantly in the first two years) and the Faculty of Education starting from the first year to the final year. Courses offered by the Faculty of Education include curriculum and professional studies introducing various aspects of education, psychology, guidance, and classroom management. Courses offered by the Department of Mathematics and Science Education integrate theoretical considerations in the field with methodology and practical applications in the selected primary, middle, and high schools.

Ders saydırma ve muafiyet MADDE 14 – (1) Öğrencilerin bir yükseköğretim kurumunda aldığı derslerin kredileri ilgili yönetim kurulu kararı ile transfer edilerek kayıtlı olduğu lisans programındaki yükümlülüklerinin yerine sayılabilir. (2) Ders saydırma işlemlerinde aşağıdaki kurallar uygulanır: a) Daha önce alınmış ancak bir diplomaya sayılmamış ve o kurumdan ilişkisi kesilmiş olması koşuluyla, en az CC notu alınmış derslerin transferi ilgili yönetim kurulu tarafından yapılabilir. b) Ders saydırma işlemlerinin tamamlanmasına ilişkin azami süre, öğrencinin lisans programına yerleştirildiği yarıyılı izleyen yarıyılın kayıt dönemi başlangıcını geçmemek kaydıyla ilgili yönetmelik ve yönergelerle belirlenir. c) Değişim programlarına katılan öğrencilerin diğer yükseköğretim kurumunda aldıkları derslerin transfer işlemleri en geç değişim programından döndükleri yarıyılı takip eden yarıyılın ders ekleme-bırakma dönemi sonuna kadar ilgili yönetim kurulu kararı ile yapılır. ç) Üniversitede alınmış olan dersler notlu ve kredili transfer edilir. d) Bir başka yükseköğretim kurumunda alınmış olan dersler P notu ile kredili olarak transfer edilir. Derslerin kapsamının Üniversitenin programlarıyla aynı ancak kredilerinin farklı olması durumunda, ilgili bölüm tarafından teorik, uygulama ve laboratuvar saatleri de göz önüne alınarak eşdeğerliliğine karar verilen derslere, ilgili yönetim kurulunun da onayı ile eşdeğer sayılan dersin kredisi verilir. (3) Birinci sınıf derslerinden muafiyet esasları Senato tarafından belirlenir.

Graduation requirements

Mezuniyet MADDE 31 – (1) Bir öğrencinin kayıtlı olduğu programdan mezun olup diploma almaya hak kazanabilmesi için; a) Yaz dönemi hariç, son yarıyılını kayıtlı olarak Üniversitede geçirmesi gerekir. b) Kredili ve kredisiz aldığı tüm dersleri en az DD veya P notu ile tamamlaması gerekir. c) Program mezuniyet kredisinin yarısından az olmamak kaydıyla, bölüm tarafından belirlenmiş orandaki krediyi Üniversitede alınan dersler ile tamamlaması gerekir. Ancak özel durumlarda Üniversite Yönetim Kurulu karar almaya yetkilidir. ç) Programını en az 2.00 GNO ile tamamlaması gerekir. (2) Azami süreleri içinde; a) GNO’ları en az 2.00 olan ve mezuniyet koşullarını sadece bir dersten (kredili veya kredisiz) F notu almış oldukları için yerine getiremeyen öğrencilere, ilgili öğretim elemanının görüşü alınarak bu dersleri tekrarlamadan, bir sınava girme veya bunun yerini tutacak bir akademik çalışma yapma imkanı, ilgili yönetim kurulunca tanınabilir. Bu öğrencilere dersin seviyesine göre en çok DD notu verilir. Başarısızlık halinde ders tekrarlanır ve Yönetmeliğin diğer hükümleri uygulanır. b) İlgili programın tüm kredilerini tamamlamış ancak GNO’su 2.00’nin altında olan öğrenci ilgili danışman ve yönetim kurulu onayı ile 27 nci maddenin üçüncü fıkrası hükümleri uygulanmaksızın DC ve DD notu aldığı dersleri mezuniyet koşullarını yerine getirene kadar tekrarlayabilir. (3) Mezuniyet koşullarını tamamlayan öğrencinin mezuniyet kararı ertelenemez.
