General Description
Even though, The Department of Special Education had opened years ago, due not to find trained personnel at Uludağ University began offering its undergraduate program in the 2010-2011 academic years. The mission of the department is to provide competency based teacher training. Since the teacher training committee of higher education maintained the traditional teacher training perspective, courses in the program organized as Pedagogy, specializing on special education and general information. Courses only specializing on special education, assessment, teaching and applied behavioral analysis would be developed taking into to consideration the competencies of special education teachers. These courses stress competencies which address understanding of handicapped, determining educational needs of handicapped children, adapting school program and developing instructional plans according to the students needs. Specific emphasis is going to be given to the student teaching in the classes and schools of the Ministry of National Education.
Candidates graduating from the department qualify for a B.A. degree in Special Education teaching certificate. Graduate of the department will have job opportunities, including academic positions in departments of Special Education; work in the public and private schools of the Ministry of National Education and provide consultancy for the children with learning difficulties.
We encourage our at least third year students to provide special education services under the control of our department staff to the students with disabilities who are in need of special education.
