* Part time
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.

EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY APPLICATION CENTER
The Center for Educational Technology is a multi-purpose research, development and applica- tion center in the context of the Faculty of Education aimed at developing and administering educational material involving technology. Its fields of activity consist of developing mate- rials involving audiovisual communication, computer software and hardware, networks and other interactive media, generating know-how, maintaining the infrastructure for preparing and administering course material involving on-site and distance education, and carrying out research and development involving present and emerging technology. These activities are intended to support the University, the Laboratory Schools, the Preschool Education Center and courses involving continuing education. These research, development and educational activities are carried out in close academic collaboration with the Department of Computer Ed- ucation and Educational Technology of the Faculty of Education. The Center is also responsi- ble for providing the university with infrastructure, advice and service on the use of-up-to date technology in instruction, organizing sites and projects where such educational activity can be carried out. Its activities further include giving support in these areas to external organizations.
The center provides classroom sites for carrying out educational activities involving audiovi- sual and computer facilities.
