The
CEIT department has been established in 1998. Innovations
and improvements in technology have changed so many
things in people’s life. There have been huge improvements
in terms of diffusion of information. Computers
continue to make an ever increasing impact on all
aspects of education from primary school to university
and in the growing areas of open and distance learning.
In addition, the knowledge and skills related to
computers have become essential for everybody in
the information age. However, at all levels in society
there is a huge need for qualified personnel equipped
with the skills that help them to be successful
in their personal and professional life. The department
aims to train students (prospective teachers) who
would teach computer courses in K-12 institutions.
It also provides individuals with professional skills
in the development, organization and application
of resources for the solution of instructional problems
within schools.
Teaching, Learning and
Assessment
Teaching
is done by a combination of lectures, classes and
practical work in modern laboratories with state-of-the-art
workstations where a wide range of learning resources
in print, recording or in electronic form are used.
Moreover, the students are required to do practice
teaching in schools as a part of their training.
Assessments of the students are done through written
and oral exams, laboratory assignments, term projects,
project presentations, and group work.
Careers
The CEIT
Department has graduated its first group of students
in June 2002. Most of the graduates have appointed
as computer teachers to K-12 schools. Some graduates
preferred to work as graduate assistant at the universities,
and some others preferred to work as web designers,
software developers and programmers in various private
companies. Since students are provided with a wide
range of skills and information related with the
use of technology in various settings during their
four years of study, they are expected to find similar
positions easily in the future as well.
Further Study
The CEIT
department has started a Master of Science (M.S.)
program at the beginning of Fall 2001 and planning
to open a Ph.D. program in the near future. The
M.S. program aims doing scientific research on the
use of computer technologies in teaching-learning
situations, development and diffusion of those technologies
in educational settings, and distance learning,
developing educational products, and training needed
human resources on the field.
