About Programme
Undergraduate education in the Department of Biology Education is a total of 4 years. During this period, courses on field knowledge, general culture and teaching formation are given. In addition to the theoretical courses, laboratory studies also take up a large place in the department. Technological developments are closely followed and used in lessons.


 


The courses in the department of science are carried out on a semester basis. In addition to the compulsory courses, there are also elective courses aimed at the student's interest and ability.


 


Students who successfully complete the program and graduate are highly likely to find a job as a teacher in public schools or private schools affiliated with the Ministry of National Education.


 


On the other hand, students who want to do academic work have the opportunity to do their master's and doctoral degrees in their own branches. In addition, students who graduate from the faculty can work as academic staff at various universities.

History
Gazi Faculty of Education, which has been operating since 1926, started to provide 4-year undergraduate education in 1982. On the same date, the Department of Biology Education has started a 4-year education. The duration of education for our students who enrolled in our department between 1998-2012 was 5 years. Starting from the 2014-2015 academic year, the education period was again determined as 4 years according to the new structuring.
Our Department, which aims to provide Biology and Biology education to students as a whole, has a total of 19 instructors specialized in various fields such as General Biology, Cytology, Hydrobiology, Ecology, Biotechnology, Toxicology, Biochemistry, Systematics, Microbiology and Biology Education. Lectures given theoretically and practically by instructors specialized in their field are supported with various course materials, tools and educational technologies. The applied parts of the courses are carried out in 7 biology laboratories, including 3 student and 4 research laboratories.
The courses of the Department are not limited to the classroom and laboratory environment, but efforts are made to ensure that our students receive a better education with various out-of-school activities. Every year, field studies are organized systematically for our students, and students are given the opportunity to get to know and examine the natural environments of living things. With seminars, conferences and symposium events, people who are competent in the field of biology and education meet with our students.

Assessment and Grading
Examination Regulations, Assessment and Grading
Measurement and Evaluation
(1) For each course taken, students are given a letter success grade at the end of the semester/year.
(2) This grade is given by the instructor of the course.
(3) While evaluating the letter grade, a student?s success at classes, mid-terms/final examinations and attendance to classes are considered. The calculation of the letter grade is determined by the approval of the related academic unit and the Senate.
(4) The success grade of a student is calculated over 100 points. This grade is called raw success point.
(5) A student whose raw success point is under 25.00 is directly given an FF grade and the student fails the course. The success grade of a student whose raw success point is 25.00 and above is evaluated by using the methods determined by the board decisions of the Educational Commission of the University and the Senate; with the letter grades of which coefficients and explanations are mentioned below. After this evaluation, it is also possible that the raw success points 25.00 and above may become FF letter grades.
(6) Coefficients and letter success grades are evaluated as shown below:
a)
Coefficients Letter Success Grades
4.00 AA
3.50 BA
3.00 BB
2.50 CB
2.00 CC
1.50 DC
1.00 DD
0.50 FD
0.00 FF

b) The letter grades other than the ones in the clause ?a? are:
1) D: Did not Attend the Course
2) G: Did not Attend the Exam
3) E: Incomplete (The E grades which are not corrected until after 3 weeks from the finalization of letter success grades are converted to FF)
4) VZ: Withdrawn

(7) A student whose letter success grade is (AA), (BA), (BB), (CB), (CC), (DC) or (DD) is considered as succeeded the course. However, the CumGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) of the student must be at least 2,00 for graduation.
