Science Education Master's Program with Thesis

Students were admitted to the Science Education Thesis Master's program for the first time in the 2019-2020 academic Fall semester.

The Master's program in Science Education is a program that aims to graduate students who can produce solutions to problems encountered in science education, develop different perspectives, observation and reasoning skills, train experienced, independent and scientifically competent expert researchers in the field of science education. Within the scope of this program, students are provided with the basic skills necessary to conduct research in the field of science education.

Candidates who have a bachelor's degree in the relevant field and at least 55 ALES (SAY) score can apply. Afterwards, those who successfully complete the thesis master's program by completing at least seven courses, seminar courses and thesis work, provided that they are not less than 21 credits, can work as science teachers in public or private schools, or can apply for the doctoral program in Science Education. Although measurement and evaluation activities vary in courses; The weights are 40% midterm and 60% final.

Artvin Çoruh University Department of Mathematics and Science Education, Department of Science Education provides education services with a strong staff. The department has 4 professor, 5 associate professors, 1 doctoral faculty member, and 1 research assistant, as well as a strong faculty staff who are experts in their fields.

Mathematics Education Master's Program with Thesis

There are 2 associate professors, 2 doctoral faculty members and 1 research assistant in the Mathematics Education Department of Artvin Çoruh University, Department of Mathematics and Science Education. Students were admitted to the Mathematics Education Thesis Master's program for the first time in the 2020-2021 academic Fall semester.

In addition to providing the student with the necessary academic discipline understanding that will give him/her a leadership role in the field of mathematics education, the Mathematics Education Master's Program tends to provide the student with the ability to carry out education and research projects in the national and international arena, to be open to the innovations of the information society, and to conduct research in order to develop theoretical and applied methods appropriate to the nature of mathematics. . In addition, it is aimed to train enlightened researchers who think creatively in the field of mathematics education, who have adopted lifelong learning as a principle, who are experienced and can work independently.

Candidates who have a bachelor's degree in the relevant field and at least 55 ALES (SAY) score can apply. To complete the thesis master's program in mathematics education, at least seven courses, seminar courses and thesis work must be successfully completed, not less than 21 credits. Although measurement and evaluation activities vary in courses; The weights are 40% midterm and 60% final. Graduates of this program gain the title of expert in the field of mathematics education.

Science Education Doctoral Program

Science Education doctoral program aims to graduate students who have scientific and technological awareness, evaluate science education with today's contemporary approaches, and conduct research to develop theoretical and applied methods with perspectives between different disciplines. In addition, the program also aims to train scientifically competent researchers who will contribute to universal science in the field at national and international levels, meet the need for academics in our country's universities, and who can work independently.

Nowadays, when scientific and technological developments are taking place rapidly, the importance of science education is increasing. It is very important for future generations to strengthen science education as an academic awareness and evaluate it from a scientific perspective, especially in order to endear science and technology to students from a young age and to increase the level of both curiosity and awareness on this subject. Investigating the failure or success observed in science courses, especially in primary and secondary education, with meaningful scientific criteria and presenting the results academically is only possible by educating individuals who are trained in this field and have gained academic discipline. Science education doctoral program increases its importance in terms of both educating individuals with academic competence and producing solutions to the problems encountered in science education.

Students accepted to the Science Education Doctorate Program with a master's degree must complete at least 240 ECTS, including at least seven courses, seminars, qualifying exams, thesis proposals and thesis studies, provided that it is not less than 21 credits in total and 60 ECTS in one academic semester. Students accepted with a bachelor's degree successfully graduate from the program by taking a total of at least 300 ECTS credits, including compulsory and elective courses, 14 courses of at least 42 credits, seminar, qualifying exam, thesis proposal and thesis study, which must be taken in order to receive a doctoral degree. Although measurement and evaluation activities vary in courses; The weights are 40% midterm and 60% final.

Although the language of education is Turkish, students who want to participate in these programs are expected to have foreign language skills at a level that can easily follow and comprehend the relevant international literature. ALES-SAY at least 50 standard points; Candidates who get at least 55 standard points from the foreign language exams held centrally by ÖSYM can apply. (The evaluation of applications of doctoral candidates and their placement in the program are made based on their success scores, which consist of 50% of ALES, 30% of the foreign language exam and 20% of the grade point average.)
