Our Mission
In line with the principles of the Ministry of National Education and the Higher Education Council, we aim to train teachers who possess mathematical subject knowledge, mathematical thinking skills, and subject-specific teaching competencies (mathematics pedagogy); adopting a scientific approach, critical thinking, and lifelong learning as principles; effectively integrating educational technologies into mathematics teaching; combining theory and practice in the context of mathematics education; contributing to the development of mathematical literacy in society; and training confident, well-equipped, and contemporary mathematics teachers.
Our Vision
To cultivate highly qualified teachers who focus on scientific understanding and productivity in mathematics education; who can effectively utilize evolving educational technologies to enhance mathematical thinking skills; who can apply knowledge across interdisciplinary fields and generate solutions to contemporary challenges through a mathematical perspective; who conduct original and high-quality scientific research in mathematics education at both national and international levels; to be a leading department in its field, recognized as a reference point nationally and acknowledged internationally.
Department of Mathematics Education has 2 professors, 4 associate professors, 1 research assistants with doctorates, and 1 research assistant. Department of Mathematics Education, which graduated its first students in 2013, offers undergraduate and graduate (thesis-based and non-thesis-based master's) education. The department facilitates faculty and student exchanges under the Erasmus and Farabi mobility programs.
At the beginning of each new academic year, students are informed about educational objectives, students' rights and responsibilities, ECTS (Bologna Information Package), student exchange programs (such as Farabi, Erasmus), quality assurance, program accreditation, increasing awareness and expectation levels, career planning and management, success level management, bicycle use on campus, library services, prevention of possible grievances related to the student's educational life (add-drop, extracurricular activities, total compulsory and elective courses and projects, internships, seminars).
