Department of Education

• We are a renowned department with a long history and well-structured programs.
• We own a strong faculty team with outstanding performance in teaching and research.
• We have a comprehensively-designed curriculum framework with bountiful learning resources.
• We keep a positive ethos that promote vibrant and close teacher-student interactions.

There are three study levels in our department. For the undergraduate level, two principles guiding the curriculum design are: 1) focusing on the four professional aspects of education (educational foundations, curriculum and instruction, educational policy and administration, and the cultural and educational enterprise), and 2) keeping abreast of the current trends in education developments. Thus, undergraduate courses are dual-tracked to cater both to academic and practical needs. On the academic track there are research-oriented advanced courses while on the practical track there are courses to prepare students for future employment in the cultural and/or education industries. On the Master’s level, the program consists of two divisions: philosophy and history of education, and sociology of education. On the doctoral level, in addition to the mentioned two divisions, there is one more division of educational policy and administration.

To become a leading educational research institute in Taiwan: based on the expertise of faculty members, this department comprises four academic divisions: Philosophy and History of Education, Sociology of Education, Educational Policy and Administration, and Curriculum and Instruction. The research capacities of each division are very broad and diverse, and the research outcomes are very outstanding in both quantity and quality.

Our prospects are to cultivate students with professional competences for employability and further study: elevating the quality of educational research to contribute to the field of education, increasing international exchanges to broaden students' global perspectives, and enhancing professional development programs for educational innovations.
