Our History
** Ondokuz Mayıs University Faculty of Education was established on July 20, 1982, with the conversion of the Samsun Higher Teacher Training School, affiliated with the Ministry of National Education, into a Faculty of Education, pursuant to Article 27(c) of Decree Law No. 41 on the Organization of Higher Education Institutions. During the first year of the transition period, the 1982-1983 academic year, the departments and sub-departments of the faculties of education were reorganized in accordance with the circulars of the Higher Education Council dated November 11, 1982, numbered 220-5317, and November 19, 1982, numbered 220-5880, taking into account the structure and requirements of the National Education system. The nucleus of our department was formed with the following departments/programs.

The Higher Education Council's circular dated August 29, 1983, numbered 220-7232, reorganized the structure of departments/divisions within Education Faculties. The programs that formed the core of our department were placed under the Department of Science Education, as shown below. This structure remained in place until 1993.

In 1994, a decision was made to convert existing departments at universities into separate departments (dated August 1, 1994, and numbered 04.01/1741-18116 / Decision No. 94.21.1119), and the departments that comprised the Department of Science Education were converted into independent departments.

Within the framework of the restructuring of Education Faculties, the teacher training programs reorganized as of the 1998-1999 academic year were implemented by the decision of the Executive Board of the Higher Education Council dated November 4, 1997, and numbered 97.39.2761. In the restructuring efforts, new programs for training primary school teachers were added to the education faculties and shaped as follows to meet the demands of the eight-year compulsory primary education system that began in the 1997-1998 academic year. Thus, the departments of Science Education and Primary Education Mathematics Education, which are currently part of our department, were established for the first time.
