The aim of the Primary Education Master's Programme with Thesis, which operates under the Department of Basic Education Institute, is to train qualified science experts in the field of Primary Education in the light of universal and national values. Classroom Education Master's Programme with Thesis, which includes many fields and has an almost interdisciplinary nature, aims to increase the knowledge and skill levels of classroom teachers, to access up-to-date information in their fields and to make their professional development continuous. Thus, disseminating and contributing to the quality of research culture under the leadership of classroom teachers, one of the basic elements of education, can make significant contributions to improving the quality of education. Considering that teachers are the implementers of curricula, it is clear that the education system cannot be more qualified than teachers. The quality of education is proportional to the quality of teachers.
In addition to contributing to the development of teachers in service, the Department of Classroom Education offers career opportunities to graduates and classroom teachers. The candidate who graduates from this programme will have the degree of ‘Science Expertise’. Those who are entitled to receive the title of Science Specialist will have the opportunity to continue their professional life as academicians by doing ‘Doctorate’ in Classroom Education or interdisciplinary programmes if they meet the necessary conditions. The ability of classroom teachers to do postgraduate education together with their in-service studies will increase faculty-school cooperation and strengthen the efforts of faculty members to find solutions to real problems. Thus, it is thought that important contributions can be made to the application dimension of learning and teaching processes in the faculty and school.
