History

College for Training Teachers for Secondary Schools and Teacher Training Institute for Secondary Schools was founded just after the proclamation of the republic. Since then Department of Pedagogy trained inspectors for Ministry of National Education and gave professional teaching knowledge lessons to other departments. Department of Pedagogy served from 1926 to 1982-1983 without being divided into other divisions. After restructuring of Higher Education programs and transforming Gazi Teacher Training Institute into Gazi Faculty of Education, Department of Educational Sciences and other departments under Department of Educational Sciences were founded.

Master and doctoral programs within the Department of Educational Administration, Inspection, Planning, and Economy were established after 1980 when Higher Education programs were restructured and Gazi Teacher Training Institute was transformed into Gazi Faculty of Education. The program which formerly trained inspectors under the name of Department of Pedagogy within Gazi Teacher Training Institute and also trained vocational teachers for educational institutes and teacher training programs was restructured as Department of Educational Sciences after Gazi Teacher Training Institute was transformed into Gazi Faculty of Education and Department of Educational Administration, Inspection, Planning, and Economy was involved as one of the department under the Department of Educational Sciences. Department of Educational Administration, Inspection, Planning, and Economy trained inspectors for educational institutions in its undergraduate program until 1997 when The Council of Higher Education closed down the undergraduate program of the Department of Educational Administration, Inspection, Planning, and Economy with a regulation. Master and doctoral programs for the Department of Educational Administration, Inspection, Planning, and Economy have been active since 1984. However, master and doctoral programs under the Department of Educational Administration, Inspection, Planning, and Economy were reorganized in three different programs in 1998:

  1. Educational Administration and Inspection - Post Graduate Program with Thesis

  2. Educational Administration and Inspection - Non-Thesis Post Graduate Program

  3. Educational Administration and Inspection - Ph.D. Program
