History
The introduction of systematic education services to children with disability in our country was carried out by the contributions of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mithat ENÇ in 1950s. In the academic year of 1953-1954, the Special Education Department was established within the scope of Gazi Education Institute in order to train instructors to provide systematic education and training services to children with disability. It is known that teachers are selected as students among those who have graduated from teacher schools that train teachers for primary school, that is, who have gained the right to be teacher and who work as teachers. Under the conditions of the former times, the schools and classes in which the children with disability were educated were at the primary school level and the graduates returned to primary school level schools after they had higher education, All of these were resulted in difficulties. The graduates were unable to provide education and training services to children with disability and brought additional problems to the bureaucracy. As the result of this situation, the department was closed.
After 32 years, it was reopened as a Special Education Teaching Department within the Gazi Educational Sciences Department in order to train special education teachers within the Gazi Institute of Education, which was a faculty in 1986. The special education teacher training program of this department focuses on training teachers who will provide education and training services to children with disability. After the following two years, the program was reviewed and the teacher training program was updated. The Department had its first graduates in the 1990-1991 academic year.
In 2014, within the scope of the regulation on the principles of teaching fields, appointment and course teaching made by the Board of Education and Discipline, the graduates of Teaching Department of the Chilldren with Mentally Disabled, Auditory Impaired and Visually Impaired undergraduate programs started to be appointed as "Special Education Teachers" and based on this, in 2015, the Council of Higher Education has decided to combine the undergraduate education given separately as Teaching of Mentally Disabled, Auditory Impaired, Visually Impaired and Gifted/Talented Children as a new undergraduate program under the name of "Special Education Teaching".
In our department, the Teaching Department of Mentally Disabled, Visually Impaired and Gifted Children are still in progress, and the special education teaching department received its first students in the 2016-2017 academic year.
