ISCO:08

It is a higher education program that spans eight semesters based on secondary education qualifications and provides education focused on a specific field of study or profession.

The objective is to ensure that prospective elementary mathematics teachers graduate possessing contemporary knowledge, educational expertise, and professional competencies that align with the demands of the 21st century. Furthermore, the aim is to equip our students with the qualities and qualifications necessary for a teacher to meet both national and international standards of excellence.

Education and training are conducted in a formal structure. Practical training is delivered through internship programs in state schools under the Ministry of National Education.

Measurement and evaluation methods, the types of exams, and their contribution to the course success grade are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles set by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK).

Various methods such as assignments, projects, practical applications, midterm exams, and end-of-term exams are used in measurement and evaluation. Letter and/or number-based grading systems are used to assess student achievement.

The methods used in measurement and evaluation are as follows:

1. Open-Ended Examination
2. Multiple-Choice Examination
3. Homework Assignments
4. Project Work
5. Lesson Plan Development
6. Oral or Visual Presentation

The success status in a course is determined by evaluating the student's midterm exams, homework, applications and project work during the semester together with the final exam success grade. The success level of the class, the statistical distribution of grades and the class average are taken into consideration in the evaluation to be made. The student's course success grade is evaluated at the end of this evaluation, which is called relative evaluation. Students whose general exam grade and/or raw success grade calculated from the term success and final exam grades is below 35% receive an FF grade regardless of their relative grades. Students whose raw success grade calculated from the term success and final exam grades is above 65% and whose relative grade is DC or below receive an AA grade regardless of their relative grades, and students whose relative grade is above 95% and whose relative grade is below AA receive an AA grade regardless of their relative grades. The effect of the final exam on the course success grade can be 40%, 50% or 60%. The effect of the final exam on the course success grade is 60% in common compulsory courses. The impact of mid-term success and the final exam on the course success grade is determined by the opinion of the instructor responsible for the course and the decision of the relevant board of directors and is announced to the students.

To ensure the quality of higher education programs:

• YÖK (Council of Higher Education) is responsible for the planning, organization, management, and supervision of education, training, and other activities carried out within higher education institutions.
• University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports: These reports, which evaluate higher education institutions both quantitatively and qualitatively, are prepared annually within the framework of criteria set by YÖK. The findings from these reports are shared with the public.
• Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report: YÖK publishes an annual report containing academic, administrative, and financial data of foundation higher education institutions. These reports, which include both quantitative and qualitative evaluations, are also made publicly available by YÖK.

The quality assurance of undergraduate programs in higher education is ensured through the Procedures and Principles for Ensuring the Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programs, which include the following processes:

1. Creation and Approval of Curriculum:
   1.1. YÖK establishes the minimum standards and criteria required for the establishment of undergraduate departments and programs in higher education institutions.
   1.2. The curriculum and learning outcomes for undergraduate programs are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in line with the basic principles set by YÖK.
   1.3. The curriculum for National Core Education Programs is implemented by higher education institutions following YÖK approval after being reviewed by the relevant Council of Deans.
2. Measurement and Evaluation: The measurement and evaluation of learning outcomes for each undergraduate program are carried out in accordance with the education, training, and examination regulations developed by higher education institutions, based on the fundamental principles established by YÖK.
3. Certification: Students who successfully complete the required course credits and other obligations determined by higher education institutions are awarded a bachelor's degree.
4. Self-Assessment and External Assessment: In the context of continuous monitoring, higher education institutions submit their Internal Institutional Assessment Reports for the previous year into the Information System managed by the Higher Education Quality Board (YÖKAK) at the start of each year. YÖKAK then shares the Institutional Feedback Report, which provides external assessment results, with the public.

Furthermore, accreditation decisions made by authorized or recognized accreditation institutions also demonstrate that the quality assurance of program qualifications is maintained. YÖKAK regularly conducts review activities to ensure compliance with the qualifications outlined in its legislation.

Primary School Mathematics Teaching Program was accredited by the Teacher Education Programs Evaluation and Accreditation Association (EPDAD) between 01.05.2024 and 01.05.2026.

1. To have graduated from secondary education institutions or foreign secondary education institutions whose equivalence has been recognized and approved by the Ministry of National Education, and to have fulfilled the necessary conditions for admission to undergraduate programs at higher education institutions.
2. To have been placed in the relevant undergraduate program of a higher education institution as a result of the central examination conducted by the Evaluation, Selection, and Placement Center (ÖSYM), in accordance with the procedures and principles established by YÖK.

1. Individuals holding a bachelor's degree are eligible to continue to graduate programs and, if they meet the relevant requirements, to doctoral and art proficiency programs that accept candidates with a bachelor's degree.
2. Undergraduate students have the right to participate in double major programs offered by the higher education institutions they are enrolled in. Students in double major programs can take courses from two distinct diploma programs simultaneously and, upon successful completion, receive two separate bachelor's degrees.
