Vision

Aspiring to prepare highly qualified teachers who can effectively develop skills in teaching Physics and Science for primary and secondary school students.

Mission

Preparing student teacher candidates to efficiently teach Physics for grades 10–12 with a high level of competence by providing them with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to practice the teaching profession.

Aims

The program seeks to achieve the following aims:

1. Providing students with foundational concepts in science and equipping them with the ability to design and execute scientific experiments, analyzing their results and applying scientific methods for diagnosing and solving problems.

2. Empowering students to translate problems into mathematical formulas, utilize abstract models for describing physical systems and natural phenomena, practice scientific reasoning skills, and adopt a logical and critical approach in addressing issues.

3. Providing students with essential principles of education foundations, psychology, teaching methods, and curriculum design.

4. Enabling students to develop professional skills, self-confidence, respect for people from diverse cultures and backgrounds, and the ability to work individually or within a team.

5. Enabling students to master good communication skills, use computers, and apply modern tools and techniques to improve professional performance.
