Educational Sciences

About

The Department of Educational Sciences was established in 1991. It offers two programs: Classroom Teacher and Early Childhood. Both programs are accredited by the Ministry of Higher Education and meet the requirements of QAA (Quality Assurance Agency).

The Department is presently headed by Dr. Aseel Shawareb and has (22) full-time faculty members and (297) students.

Quality education is our paramount concern and the faculty members form a collaborative group who share a vision of the importance of their role in shaping the future. To that end, the Department consists of educators who have a wide experience in the fields of teaching, research and community service. They strive to maintain high standards of professional excellence to prepare our students to successfully teach and administer programs in a variety of educational settings.

Three tenets: Content knowledge, pedagogy and professional dispositions guide the department and make up its professional framework.

The overall mission of the Classroom Teacher program is to prepare competent classroom teachers who are able to teach effectively students in the first three grades in the basic cycle (1–3). The overall mission of the Early Childhood program is to prepare specialists in the area of teaching and caring for children in nurseries and kindergartens according to the latest educational theories and practices.

Entry Requirements

Students with a high school diploma or its equivalent from outside Jordan can enroll in higher education institutions directly through websites of public and private universities or intermediate community colleges based on their averages. Universities implement the credit hours system, which allows students to choose courses according to their study plan.

Students wishing to enroll in a master's program must hold a bachelor's degree. Furthermore, students who wish to enroll in doctoral programs must hold a master's degree.

In addition, students wishing to enroll in postgraduate programs are required to provide a certificate confirming their English proficiency level in a TOEFL or IELTS exam. They could also demonstrate a certain proficiency level in French or German. Lastly, they could take an English language exam held by the higher education institution they apply in.

In the event that the student fails to prove the required level of English, German or French, or fails the English equivalency exam, they may study a qualifying program in English at the university where they undertake additional six credit hours; he/she must score a minimum grade that varies according to their specialization.
