Courses

This is a five year program, which leads to a diploma in Computer and Instructional Technology Teacher Education.

The first 4 semesters contain courses designed to provide students with a strong background in computer science and computer technology. The curriculum includes courses in software, hardware, database management, system design, security, and data communication. The courses are a combination of theory and laboratory practice in up to date lab facilities. The curriculum is designed to equip students with strong problem solving abilities, critical thinking abilities and skills for life long learning. Also included in the curriculum are interdisciplinary courses in science, social science and humanities.

Starting from the 5th semester, in addition to the courses explained above, students are introduced to teacher education courses given by the instructors from the Graduate School of Education. The teacher education courses emphasize teaching methodology, student participation in problem solving, case studies and developmental work. Total three teacher education courses require students to spend one or more days a week in partner schools, gaining practical experience of up-to-date approaches to teaching. Partner schools are the leading schools in Ankara such as BUPS, Bilkent Schools, METU College and TED Ankara College.
