Mathematics Teacher Training Program

The necessity of teaching mathematics at every level of school in every country is an indisputable issue. The place allocated to mathematics in a country's education should be equivalent to the place allocated to teaching its own language. Mathematics education is necessary in many ways. Mathematics enables individuals to reveal and develop their innate talents. Mathematics is a universal means of communication. In addition, mathematics is a means of reaching certainty that teaches logical thinking and finding universal truths. One of the greatest features of mathematics is that it is a tool for students to have high-level skills such as critical thinking, abstract thinking, analysis and synthesis. In this context, the mathematics education we want to provide in our Mathematics Teaching department is primarily to implement a wide and comprehensive education program prepared to train teachers who are not deficient in the field, who know the necessary methods and techniques in teaching mathematics well, and who benefit from all the opportunities offered by technology in mathematics education. The aim of this program that we plan to implement is to meet the increasing need for teachers by training qualified individuals who produce knowledge and can transfer this knowledge. We aim for our graduates to be knowledgeable and competent educators, as well as teachers who are motivated to learn and teach, can work with people, can share what they know, are persistent in learning and teaching, have strong communication skills, and aim to be lifelong learners. We also aim to close the gap in this area by training mathematics teachers who will stop mathematics from being a nightmare for students and show their students the importance and application areas of mathematics. Our graduates can work as ‘Mathematics Teachers’ in private or state educational institutions. The job opportunities of our graduates are not limited to our country. Many countries employ teachers from abroad as immigrants in order to close the increasing teacher shortage. In addition, our graduates can become faculty members at various universities by completing their master’s and doctorate degrees.
