The Department of Mathematics and Science Education coordinates several teacher education programs, namely Science Education, Primary School Mathematics Education, Chemistry Education (and Teaching Chemistry), Secondary School Mathematics Education (and Teaching Mathematics), and Physics Education (and Teaching Physics).

The department aims to produce science and mathematics educators who are able to meet the increasing demand for high quality teaching. The programs also encourage students to benefit from experiences in both formal and informal learning settings investigating the teaching of science and mathematics. With the strong focus on research, the programs prepare students to be informed consumers of educational research, to carry out action research as practitioners and as strong candidates for graduate studies. Graduates are expected to be reflective and competent educators, sensitive to the demands of their job, responsive to a developing education system and technological requirements, committed to continuing their own professional development, and ready to play a leading role in the field of science and mathematics education.

All programs include courses offered by the departments of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (predominantly in the first two years) and the Faculty of Education starting from the first year to the final year. Courses offered by the Faculty of Education include curriculum and professional studies introducing various aspects of education, psychology, guidance, and classroom management. Courses offered by the Department of Mathematics and Science Education integrate theoretical considerations in the field with methodology and practical applications in the selected primary, middle, and high schools.
