D.7. Goals and Objectives

The main aim of the mathematics education graduate program is to develop the theoretical and practical knowledge and skills of the students by providing them with in-depth knowledge of basic approaches and research in the field of mathematics education and to make them an expert in the field. In this respect, the program aims to educate academicians who are competent in theory and practice, can research, questioner and instruct education policies, and education experts who can work in the public or private sector in the field of mathematics education.

The compulsory and elective courses included in the program generally aim to provide students with knowledge about basic approaches and current research in mathematics education and to gain perspective and skills that can make scientific researches in the field of mathematics education.

Within the scope of these courses, it is aimed to examine the concepts in mathematics and the relationships between these concepts, to examine how mathematical learning is realized according to different learning theories, to investigate current methods and techniques used in mathematics teaching, and to investigate research in the field of mathematics education. In addition, during the program, students will examine mathematics education research based on quantitative and qualitative approaches, and by using these approaches, they will be able to plan and implement scientific research that will meet their own interests and needs in the field.

It is believed that this program, which is proposed to be opened, will contribute researchers who will contribute to universal science at national and international level, and will contribute to the newly opened and developing universities by educating faculty members by eliminating the deficiencies encountered in teacher education in our country.
