Preschool Teaching

Hello, I am Buke Sultan Alayurt. I am a 3rd year student at Pamukkale University, Faculty of Education, Division of Early Childhood Education. Our department was established to prepare children aged 0-6 for basic education. It is located on the main campus of Pamukkale University. In the first year, we have theoretical courses, and in the following years, we have practical courses. After taking theoretical lessons on how to educate children and how we can understand children, we continue our practical lessons. We have an early childhood workshop. I think this is the best opportunity of our department. Because our early childhood workshop is decorated like a kindergarten and we can have kindergarten experience before our internship starts. During our final year, we have an internship practice once a week. After finishing the internship period, we can graduate. After graduating from our department, we have many work opportunities. We can either work in the public schools of the Ministry of National Education or in private institutions such as day care centers, kindergartens, or we can establish our own private institution. We can also progress academically by pursuing graduate programs. I chose this department because I am very patient and understanding towards children. I wanted to be a teacher since I was a kid. As I got older and had to choose a profession, I realized that Early Childhood Teaching would be a much better choice for me. One of the first reasons I chose Pamukkale University was that it is located in Denizli, where I live. In addition, it is involved in many social projects and activities. That's why I chose Pamukkale University. One of the opportunities I benefitted the most was our early childhood workshop. We also have a library. I often use our library when I want to study or read a book. I want to pursue an academic career after graduation. I advise the candidates who will prefer this department to be very patient and understanding towards children. If you love children and you can see that you can get along well with them, this department is definitely for you. If you want to study in the peaceful environment of the large and green campus established at the foot of the mountain, we welcome you to Pamukkale University.
