About Programme

With the Physics Teaching Doctorate Program, he can do scientific research independently, produce solutions to problems in physics education, have the skills of questioning and critical thinking, have reached the competence to interpret scientific information, know how to discuss scientific and ethical issues related to his field in national and international platforms, has adopted modern teaching methods and techniques. It is aimed to train doctors of science.



Undergraduate graduates who meet the admission requirements for the doctoral program can apply. The doctoral program consists of 240 ECTS credits to be earned during the 120 ECTS course period and 120 ECTS during the thesis period. The first four semesters are the lecture period, and the second four semesters are the thesis period. The first three semesters of the course consist of 90 ECTS courses, and the fourth semester consists of 30 ECTS "Preparation for the Doctoral Proficiency Exam" course.



Except for the compulsory seminars and ethics courses, all courses are elective, and students can take the course from within and outside the university as much as the regulations allow, by taking the opinion of the advisor in line with their interests. Our students who graduate from doctoral program can work as teachers, researchers, academics and experts in public or private institutions.

History
The current graduate programs in the field of Educational Sciences within Gazi University have been conducted under the Institute of Social Sciences and the Institute of Science since 1983. Later, on the occasion that Educational Sciences was a discipline separate from social sciences and natural sciences, it was necessary to continue its activities as a separate institute. In this context, with the decision of the Council of Higher Education dated 04.11.1997 and numbered 97.39.2761, "G.Ü. The Institute of Educational Sciences was established. Gazi University Institute of Educational Sciences first started to serve in three small rooms on the ground floor of the ?K Block?, which was known at the time, located at the location of the Bosnia Building in the Central Campus. Approximately four years since its establishment in this building; Approximately eight years from 7 May 2001 to 17 August 2009 Maltepe / Ali Suavi Sok. No: 15; Approximately four years from 17 August 2009, Gazi University Central Campus Milas Sok. No: 15.

Assessment and Grading
Exams and grades
ARTICLE 11 - (1) Students are taken to the final exam and / or end-of-term project work in addition to their mid-term exam and / or semester studies. The exam schedule is announced on the web page by the head of the relevant department.
(2) The success of the student is evaluated with the evaluation method and success criteria specified in the course description form announced at the beginning of the relevant course.
(3) The student is obliged to pass the compulsory courses. He can retake an elective course he failed, and choose another course instead.
(4) Mid-term exams and / or semester studies, final exam and / or end-of-term project work are evaluated over 100 raw points. Success letter grade over 100 raw points is appreciated for seminar, thesis study, term project courses and proficiency exam. In order for the student to be successful in the relevant course, the letter grade for the master's degree must be at least CC; In doctoral and postgraduate doctoral programs, the letter grade must be at least CB.
(5) A student with a raw success score below 25.00 is considered unsuccessful in that course by getting a direct (FF) grade. The success grade of the student whose raw success score is 25.00 and above; The general condition of the class is evaluated with one of the letter grades whose coefficients and expansions are given below, taking into account the arithmetic averages and statistical distribution. After this evaluation, it is possible that the raw achievement scores of 25.00 and above have letter grade equivalents (FF).
(6) Coefficients and success letter grades are evaluated as follows:
a) Coefficients Success Letter Grade
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) Notes other than those in subparagraph (a) are:
1) D: Absent,
2) G: Not entered,
3) E: Incomplete, (The (E) grade, which is not corrected within three weeks following the finalization of the final exam success letter grades, is converted into (FF).)
(7) AGNO is calculated by dividing the sum of the weighted points calculated on the basis of the final grades in all courses during the student's education by the total credits of the courses taken. The AGNO obtained is shown as two digits after the comma.
(8) The grades given from (AA) to (FF) are taken as basis in the calculation of both the weighted semester and the AGNO. (G) and (D) grades are treated as (FF) grades.
(9) All grades are recorded in the student's grade tracking document.
(10) AGNO's for graduation; It must be at least 2.50 / 4.00 for master's programs with thesis / non-thesis, and at least 3.00 / 4.00 for doctoral programs with master's / undergraduate degrees. Students who have completed their total credits but could not meet the graduation requirement meet this requirement by taking new courses / courses.
(11) Students who fail to obtain the right to enter the final exam because they do not fulfill the attendance requirements or the conditions for course practices are considered absent (D).
