3. General Structure of the Turkish Education System

5. The basic structure of the Turkish National Education system consists of mainly four steps as - pre-school education (4 – 6) - primary education (compulsory) (6-14) - secondary education (14-18) - higher education (18 – )

6. pre – school education Primary educationl 6 - 14 4 - 6 Age 7 6 5 3 2 4 1 8

7. Primary Education

8. Secondary Education The secondary education system can be classified as: - General High School (14- 18) 4 years - Vocational and Technical High Schools (14-18) 3- 4 years General High Schools offer programs lasting four years and preparing students for higher education. Vocational and Technical High Schools offer three-year programs (vocational schools) or four-year programs (technical schools). They prepare students for employment in various occupations, or for higher education.

9. Secondary Education

10. Higher Education Higher education is defined as all post- secondary programs with a duration of at least two years. The system consists of universities (state and foundation) and non-university institutions of higher education (police and military academies and colleges). Each university consists of faculties and four- year schools, offering bachelor's level programs, the latter with a vocational emphasis, and two year vocational schools offering pre-bachelor's (associate's) level programs of a strictly vocational nature.

13. Higher Education Admission to higher education is based on a nation-wide Student Selection Examination (ÖSS). The examination is held every year and is administered by the Student Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM). Candidates gain access to higher education institutions based on their composite scores consisting of the scores of the selection examination as well as their high school grade point averages.

14. Higher Education Standing with 2002-2003 academic year, the graduates of vocational and technical high schools have the opportunity to be placed in two year vocational schools with any entrance exams. The graduates of these two years vocational schools, can continue their education in four year programs, based on the quotas available and their scores in vertical transfer examination.

15. Management of the Educational System The primary and secondary education together with the technical and vocational schools “Ministry of National Education” “Ministry of National Education” The Higher Education “Higher Education Council”. “Higher Education Council”. (This council autonomous structure. Has 21 members of which 7 are nominated by the president, 7 is nominated by the government (subjected to the approval of the president) and 7 is elected by the Interuniversity board) (This council autonomous structure.

21. “TECHNOLOGY and DESIGN” TEACHER TRAINING for GENERAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION

22. According to the new legislation of the Ministry of National Education; the graduates of the following departments will be eligible to be nominated as the teacher of “Technology and Design” courses that are in the curricula as of 6th, 7th and 8th classes starting from 2006- 2007 period: a) Department of Industrial Technology Education b) Department of Industrial Products Design (on the condition that the graduates obtain specific pedagogical formation after obtaining B.Sc. degree)

23. Department of Industrial Technology Education New mission is to prepare students for a teaching career of “Technology and Design” course in the 6th, 7th and 8th classes of primary education. Re-structured as a hands-on program using an investigative, design-and-construct, problem solving approach to teaching. Students study the resources, systems, and products of technology.

24. BACKGROUND of TECHNOLOGY TEACHER TRAINING (EVOLUTION of THE DEPARTMENT) Initialization: 1974 Name of the Institute in the year of the initialization: Industrial Arts Higher Teacher Training School Mission: Graduating the teachers for the “Work Education” Courses

25. EVOLUTION OF THE DEPARTMENT Modification: 1982 Name after the modification: Department of Technology Education Structural changes: "Industrial Arts Higher Teacher Training School" was first included in the "Technical Education Faculty", then in the "Vocational Education Faculty" as a department named "Technology Education”.

26. EVOLUTION OF THE DEPARTMENT Modification: 1990 Name after the modification: Industrial Arts Education Structural changes: Technology Education Department was re- organized; Work and Technical Education was changed as Industrial Arts major.

27. EVOLUTION OF THE DEPARTMENT Modification: 1993 Name after the modifications: Department of Industrial Technology Education Structural changes: Faculty of Industrial Arts Education has been established. Industrial Technology Education Program was put into practice for Work and Technique part of the Work Education Courses in secondary schools (Work Education was a circling course among Work and Technique, Commerce, Agriculture and Home Economics)

28. Description The “Industrial Technology Education” Department is the first and unique program to be established in Turkey. The Department has programs at B.Sc., M.Sc. and Ph.D. levels. Provides common concepts of Industrial Technology Education and relevant practices as well as required subjects for the teaching career. Within this framework, students are trained in multi-discipline conformity.

29. Academic and administrative staff 2 full professors (1 material, 1 energy) 1 associate professor 5 assistant professors 6 lecturers 5 research assistants (full-time) 4 technicians 1 secretary

30. Students Current B.Sc. Students: 421 Average no of students coming each year by the central student selection exam: 94 Current M.Sc. Students: 34 Current Ph.D. Students: 8 Average annual no of students taken for the graduate studies: 5-8

31. Department of Industrial Technology Education The Department offers a 4 year bachelor’s program. The main field courses are provided by the four divisions of the Department: Divisions  Industrial Material Technology (Material and Production Technology)  Energy and Transport Technology  Electrics-Electronics and Telecommunication  Computer Aided Design

32. Facilities (workshops and labs) Power and energy Woodworks Metal works (metal processing and welding) Electrics - electronics Graphics – press Ceramics - serigraphy Industrial design Technical drawing 3 Computer labs (for CAD – CAM Courses)

33. Employment Opportunities Graduates of this program are entitled as “Technology and Design” teacher Graduates are nominated for the compulsory “Technology and Desing Course” in the 6th, 7th and 8th grades of the General Primary Schools As well as that, graduates can be nominated as the teacher of some equivalent optinal-compulsory or optional courses (such as Quality Control, Standardization, Photography etc. in the general primary and secondary schools. Nomination is based on the grades obtained in the “State Staff Selection Exam” (KPSS) done once a year in July. The Ministry of Education Announces its number of teacher demand in different categories and different cities twice a year (February and August) and nominates the teacher candidates throughout the country according to the grades in KPSS exam

34. Employment Opportunities Almost all graduates of the Department can be assigned as “Technology and Design Teacher” upon their request and their score in the “State Staff Selection Exam” (KPSS). Providing that they get sufficient scores in KPSS, they do not experience any employment problems. At the moment the only institution providing the “Technology and Design Teachers” in Turkey is Gazi University, Department of Technology Education. For example, the announced demand by the Ministry of Education in August 2006 was 214. Our number of graduates for Summer 2006 was 118. All of them was nominated by the Ministry and the remained part was compansated by the second fields. Choice of profession has become more important with starting of the eight- year continuous obligatory Primary Education in 1997. This caused a rapid increase in the demand for our graduates. Apart from this, the flexibility and interdisciplinarity of the program opens the doors of some other occupational opportunities such as professional positions in business and industry.
