Course Description

The Department of Science Education puts emphasis on two major areas: (1) Promoting the classroom potential of school teachers.
(2) Deepening understanding of different fields of science.
(1) shapes course subjects such as "clinical education research." In these course subjects, prospective teachers aim to create course materials that nurture scientific concepts through observation of nature. On the other hand, (2) has in its foundation the idea that having experience in research is crucial in teaching science at schools. It is up to each of the students to decide which of the two areas they choose to place emphasis on.

Curriculum

Requirements for finishing the master's program are as follows:
l Complete required units from at least two of the following three categories: "specially-opened general courses," "clinical education research," and "courses from other departments."
l Complete required units from the following "specialized subjects in science education," including optional mandatory subjects:
Science education theories course, physics theories course, chemistry theories course, biology theories course, geoscience theories course
Science education training, physics training, chemistry training, biology training, geoscience training
Science education laboratory, physics laboratory, chemistry laboratory, biology laboratory, geoscience laboratory
Biology practical training, geoscience practical training
l Complete "Special Research 1 and 2," submit master thesis under the mentorship of the professors, and pass the evaluation of the thesis and the final examination.

Licenses and Certificates

If the individual possesses an Elementary School, Junior High School, or High School Teacher's License: Category 1 (science), he can obtain a Specialized Elementary School, Junior High School, or High School Teacher's License (science).

Employment Situation and Career Opportunities
