Department of Preschool Education

Hello everyone, I am Tuğçe ULUBAŞ. I am a fourth-year student in the Department Preschool Education at Balıkesir University, Necatibey Faculty of Education. Our department aims to establish an educational system that primarily encompasses early childhood education and build suitable environmental facilities for implementing this education system. The courses in our department are divided into three categories: general culture courses, professional courses, and field-specific education courses. We have drama studios for conducting drama education, playrooms for play activities, and sports halls for movement education in the Department of Preschool Education at Balıkesir University, Necatibey Faculty of Education. We also have a practical training program in the department. This program, known as teaching practice, consists of two terms: fall and spring terms. Those who have received early childhood education can work in various sectors involving children. They can work in private and public educational institutions, preschools, day-care centers, and nurseries. Education plays a crucial role in the survival of a country, and early childhood education, in particular, holds its own significance within the education system. Children who are the beneficiaries of early childhood education are very valuable to me. I chose this profession to be able to make a difference in their lives. Balıkesir University has a deep-rooted history and a well-equipped academic staff. Moreover, due to its location, Balıkesir provides students with suitable environmental opportunities. In the context of early childhood education, we organize environmental education trips with academics to better explain environmental awareness to children. Additionally, our university is still engaged in projects under the ERASMUS Plus program. In both private and public institutions, my primary goal is to practice the teaching profession. Furthermore, I want to participate in domestic and international projects to closely follow current and future educational policies. Additionally, I aspire to continue my academic career in the field of early childhood education. I would like to emphasize the importance of having a good understanding of education and being knowledgeable about the concept of education. Additionally, an early childhood teacher should be able to think practically and make multidimensional decisions. I wish all the candidates success in the university entrance exam. We look forward to welcoming you to the Department of Preschool Education at Balıkesir University, Necatibey Faculty of Education.
