Objectives of the Course

Examination of scientists who work on the subjects mentioned in the science curriculum. In this regard, first of all, the historical adventure of science and the scientists who have done studies in science during this adventure will be examined. In this context, the works and life stories of the scientists determined will be discussed scientifically in a way that can be used in classes. In the historical adventure of science, our scientists from the Islamic World, the Ottoman and especially the Republic period will be brought to the fore and our teacher candidates will be tried to mention them more in the lessons. In this way, it is planned for students to see their own scientific history closely and to develop their belief that they too can become scientists.

Course Content

Examination of scientists who work on the subjects mentioned in the science curriculum. In this direction, first of all, within the historical adventure of science, the period of empirical knowledge seen in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, one of the first civilizations, the Ancient Greek period when knowledge systems that were not based on experiment were established, the period of real science in the Turkish-Islamic world in the Middle Ages, the period of modern science that emerged from the beginning of the Renaissance in Europe and Scientists who worked in science during these periods will be examined. In this context, the works and life stories of the scientists determined will be discussed scientifically in a way that can be used in classes. With the content of this course, the historical adventure of science will be followed by discussing scientists who have done similar studies and worked in different periods. In the historical adventure of science, our scientists from the Islamic World, the Ottoman and especially the Republic period will be brought to the fore and our teacher candidates will be tried to mention them more in the lessons. In this way, it is planned for students to see their own scientific history closely and to develop their belief that they too can become scientists.
