How did you decide to go to graduate school?
How did you decide to go to graduate school?
I always want to
contribute to informed and research based decisions on change and reforms in
education. In addition to that, I believed that continuing my education in a
graduate school of education would help me to be more reflective about my
practice, and be more informed about
improvements and trends in education.
What did you do before going to graduate school?
What did you do before going to graduate school?
I have been working as
a full time mathematics teacher at a high school.
What do you like best
about your program/school?
The program is
designed for full time teachers who wants to continue their education. Even though
it is difficult to pursue a PhD degree while working as a teacher at a
demanding school, my graduate school environment
engages and ecourages me to develop my knowledge in many areas related with
curriculum and instruction, reflect on
my practices, make research and publish.
What are your current
research interests?
I am currently working
on strategies to help pre-services to start their teaching career more ready.
Enhancing reflective practice and self-efficacy beliefs of pre-services are in
the sphere of my interest.
What is your favorite
article and why?
I can not specify one
as a favorite but any research article which gives inspiration about how to
make things better in teacher education, makes me feel excited.
Thanks for your participation Özge
