History

Division of Mathematics Teacher Education at Dokuz Eylul University was established in 1982. Our division, which is in service within the Sciences Department as Mathematics Teacher Education, functioned for a while as an independent Department of Mathematics as well and continued its activities in this way till 1998. As a result of restructuring of education faculties in 1998, it was integrated into the Department of Secondary School Science and Mathematics Education as a Division. Formal education curriculum has been implementing in our division from the establishment of it to date. It has an undergraduate education that is five-year in progress as well as masters and PhD degree programs are in progress at the Institute of Educational Sciences.

Examination Regulations, Assessment and Grading

Measurement and evaluation methods for each course are defined in the course syllabi prepared by the instructor/s. Exam and passings grades are regulated according to the rules and regulations of Dokuz Eylul University, Buca Faculty of Education undergraduate programs as indicated in their catalogs. According to these students must attend classes, practices and examinations. Students’ attendance is followed by the Instructor concerned. For almost all required and elective courses there are two written examinations : One midterm examination ( given during each semester and dates of which are announced by the Department in the first month of the semester ) and one final exam. The semester grades are determined by adding forty percent of the midterm exam and sixty percent of the final exam grade. In some courses, additional work such as projects, presentations and assignments could be given to students. If there is an additional work given in that course, then the semester grades are: 30% of the midterm exam, 10% the midterm project and 60% of the final exam. Students are successful in the course if their grades are (AA), (BA), (BB), (CB), (CC), (DC), (DD) and (B); if their grades are (FD), (FF) and (Y), they fail. Students whose GPA are lower than 1.80 cannot register for a new course. Those who have failed in the final exam may take the make-up exam of which grade replaces the final exam and students’ grades are computated again based upon the make-up exam results.
