The Primary Education Program in the Department of Elementary Education at TED University is an undergraduate program which trains elementary school teachers for elementary schools from first to fourth grade. The main goal of the program is to train highly qualified primary teachers who are reflective and critical thinkers and capable of showing leadership in their field as well as contributing to the field of elementary school education at both national and international levels.

The courses offered in the faculty of education are generally conducted in round-table classrooms, row-arranged classrooms, and amphitheater-style classrooms, allowing students to familiarize themselves with and experience different learning environments. Each classroom is equipped with a sound system and a projector, and computers in the laboratories (computer lab, pedagogy lab, guidance and psychological counseling lab, etc.) provide the necessary programs that instructors and students need within the scope of the courses.
Off-campus learning environments include schools where Teaching Practicum and other applied courses are conducted.

The grading system, where students can see their performance in relation to the course assessments, is included in each course syllabus and shared with students during the first week of the semester.
The weight of exams and expectations for assignments are shared with students both verbally and in writing during the first week of the semester.
Different methods and techniques are used for mid-term and final evaluations. Student success is evaluated by taking into account homework, projects, mid-term assignments/practices, final assignments/practices and other practices that replace exams. Evaluation methods are announced in course syllabi at the beginning of each semester. Additionally, at the beginning of the semester, instructors outline the learning outcomes of the course and the flow of the teaching process in the syllabi. These syllabi are shared with students and relevant stakeholders via the TEDU website and the LMS platform. The coefficients, points and status of the letter grades included in the grade point average calculations are given below:

Such requirements are completed at the most in two weeks; if not, the letter “I” is converted into a letter grade of “F”.

To ensure the quality of higher education programs, the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) is responsible for planning, organizing, managing, and supervising the educational, instructional, and other activities carried out in higher education institutions. Each year, "University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports" for higher education institutions, prepared within the framework of the criteria determined by YÖK, are published. Based on these reports, YÖK shares quantitative and qualitative evaluations of higher education institutions with the public.
Additionally, YÖK publishes the "Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report" annually, containing academic, administrative, and financial data for foundation higher education institutions. These reports also include quantitative and qualitative evaluations, which are shared with the public by YÖK. The quality assurance of undergraduate programs in higher education is provided according to the "Procedures and Principles for Ensuring the Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programs":
Creation and Approval of Academic Programs:

1.1. YÖK establishes the minimum standards and criteria required to open undergraduate departments and programs in higher education institutions.

1.2. The curriculum of undergraduate programs and the learning outcomes each program will provide to students are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in line with the basic principles set by YÖK.

1.3. The curriculum of National Core Education Programs is implemented by higher education institutions upon approval by YÖK after being accepted by the relevant Deans' Council.
Assessment and Evaluation: The methods for assessing and evaluating the learning outcomes that undergraduate programs aim to provide to students are carried out according to the education, instruction, and examination regulations prepared by higher education institutions, in accordance with the fundamental principles determined by YÖK.
Certification: Students enrolled in undergraduate programs are awarded a bachelor's degree upon successfully completing the course credits and other obligations determined by the higher education institutions.
Self-Assessment and External Assessment: In the context of continuous monitoring, higher education institutions enter their "Internal Evaluation Reports" for the previous year into the Information System prepared by the Higher Education Quality Council (YÖKAK) at the beginning of each year. YÖKAK shares its "Institutional Feedback Report," which pertains to the external evaluation of higher education institutions, with the public. Additionally, accreditation decisions made by accreditation organizations authorized or recognized by YÖKAK indicate that the qualifications of the programs have met quality assurance standards. YÖKAK conducts regular review activities concerning the qualifications set by its regulations.
