Overall Educational Objective To gain a practical understanding of contemporary educational issues through sociological, political, historical, and personal perspectives, and to develop one’s emerging teacher identity supported by theory and practice.
Course Description This course provides prospective teachers with an introduction to contemporary educational issues, including social, economic, historical, political, and philosophical perspectives, each of which, in its own way, uniquely combine to shape the teacher’s identity within an educational system. Students have practical experience of tutoring, and of putting educational theory into practice in the field.
Course Description in Turkish Bu ders, öğretmen adaylarına, sosyolojik, ekonomik, tarihsel, politik ve felsefi perspektifler de dahil olmak üzere çağdaş eğitim konularına bir giriş yaparak, eğitim sisteminde öğretmenin kimliğini şekillendirmek üzere bir araya getirir. Öğrencilerin pratik olarak birebir ders deneyimi ve eğitim teorisini pratiğe geçirme becerileri kazanmasını sağlar.
