Özet:

Darülmuallimin (Male Teacher Training College) was opened in the Ottoman Empire in 1848 to train teachers for junior high schools, which were the pioneer of the civil modern schools in the Empire. Teacher training has developed since the opening of Darülmuallimin, which has led to the emergence of today’s faculties of education. Orta Muallim Mektebi (Middle Teacher Training School) was opened in the Republic of Turkey in 1926 to train teachers for middle schools. Then its name was changed into Institute of Education and the number of schools under this name increased across the country. Bursa Institute of Education, which was opened in 1958, was one of such institutes. Bursa Institute of Education, which was one of the first institutes of education opened, has become today’s Faculty of Education by going through a series of change and development. Initially, institutes admitted students through written and oral exams for many years. In 1978, they started to admit students by centralized university exam. The number of students and teachers rose as of the establishment of the institute. Besides the number of people, the number of the buildings of the institute increased as well. When the institute was opened, it shared a building with a primary school. It was moved to a building constructed in Yıldırım on 24 October 1966. A campus composed of a conference hall, an indoor sports hall, a dormitory, and a dining hall was made for Bursa Institute of Education. The students of the institute participated in various social activities such as football, basketball, taekwondo, theatre, folk dancing, music club, and library club. In the 1970s, the students of Bursa Institute of Education were affected by the political environment of Turkey, and certain events took place there. Therefore, classes were cancelled at certain times. In the institute, practical courses were given as well as theoretical major area and pedagogical courses, and interns were sent to middle schools and high schools for teaching practice. With Teaching with Letters and Accelerated Program, which is harshly criticized today, teacher training procedures were applied in Bursa Institute of Education. Serving Turkey in the field of teacher training for many years, the institute was converted into Faculty of Education and affiliated to Uludağ University in 1982.
