General Information

The history of the Classroom Education Department is based on Adana Education Institute. The Institute became the Department of Classroom Teaching in 1992 in the form of a 4-year program. When the Primary Education Department was established in 1997, the program was linked to this department. In 2018, with the work of updating the Teacher Training Undergraduate Programs of YÖK, the Department of Basic Education was renamed as Classroom Education Department. The Classroom Teaching program received its first undergraduate students in 1992, and it first graduated in the 1996-1997 academic year. In our department, a second education program was opened in 1997, and in 2011, students were admitted to the program for the last time.
