The Teaching profession is considered the backbone of the educational system of a country. The Department of Education researches into ways of promoting activities that encourage people to learn, grow and develop. It also investigates from various angles the roles of kindergartens, elementary schools, high schools, special education schools, colleges, universities and other educational institutions on the development of societies and cultures, as well as the how education supports the well-being of people and the betterment of society as a whole.
Educational science is a science that integrates various disciplines. Understanding the historical background of education requires knowledge in philosophy, ethics, history, anthropology and other areas. To recognize the functions of education, it is necessary to study sociology, economics and similar fields. Research on psychology, physiology and neuroscience serves as a foundation to understanding how people learn and grow. To grasp communication patterns during classes and study necessitates research on linguistics, social psychology and information science. Also, to discuss educational systems and policies, students have to utilize their knowledge of politics, public administration and law. To recognize mental health conditions that affect education, students need to learn clinical psychology and psychopathology. If students want to contribute to the international community by investigating trends in educational reforms around the world, they need to research comparative education and educational development. Those who are interested in the education of the Japanese language, foreign languages, mathematics, science, humanities and sociology, physical health or the arts are required to study these subjects thoroughly.
As can be seen, educational science is a comprehensive study through which the process of people’s learning and growing is researched in a practical, systematical and administrative manner. Educational efforts in every field share the common goal of realizing the well-being of people and a better society through education. Considering that education science studies the effects of education on living people, it can be said that the discipline’s most attractive aspect is that people studying educational science must critically question social and cultural realities while also reviewing their own ways of thinking and living. Accordingly, the Department of Education bears the responsibility for achieving this important role and fostering hope in the educational field through leading-edge research and a first-rate education.
To provide intermediate and undergraduate level education with a foundation in the latest research developments, the Department aims to provide a more comprehensive environment in which to study education science. Our students take on many different career paths. Some aspire to become researchers and go to undergraduate schools. Some become teachers. Some join newspaper, television, or publication companies to pursue careers as education journalists or editors. Some enter private companies and work in internal education- or personnel-related sections. And others become government officials in charge of planning out educational policies. How about helping create a brighter future for children and Pakistani society by joining us at the Department to study education science? Everybody is welcomed!
