ISTANBUL AYDIN UNIVERSITY EDUCATION FACULTY
Istanbul Aydın University Faculty of Education was officially established by the Council of Ministers’ decision numbered 2008/14011 dated August 5, 2008, and commenced academic activities in the 2008-2009 academic year with its distinguished academic staff and classrooms and curricula designed to meet contemporary needs. The faculty comprises the Department of Educational Sciences with the Guidance and Psychological Counseling Division; Computer and Instructional Technology Teaching; the Foreign Languages Department with the English Language Teaching Division; the Primary Education Department with divisions in Classroom Teaching, Turkish Language Teaching, Preschool Teaching, Arabic Language Teaching, and Mental Disabilities.
In today’s era of information, communication, and technology, the development level of countries is measured by the importance they attach to education and science. The most critical determinant of the education system is the quality of the teachers operating it. In this context, faculties of education bear a significant responsibility in training qualified teachers who meet the demands of the age. The fundamental aim of Istanbul Aydın University Faculty of Education is to train teachers who think differently, are free in their individual choices, self-confident, respectful of human values, tolerant, dedicated, share the ideals of the Republic, and are equipped with all kinds of technical and technological knowledge—teachers to whom future generations can be entrusted.
The Faculty of Education at Istanbul Aydın University, with its entire academic and administrative staff, strives to train modern, enlightened, well-equipped teachers with full professional formation in line with the fundamental principles of Turkish National Education. The faculty aims to produce fully equipped teachers by integrating the three core dimensions of teacher education programs—“Professional Knowledge of Teaching,” “Subject Matter Knowledge,” and “General Culture”—with practical applications in schools.
