Profile of the Programme
The general aim of the program is to prepare primary teachers who will teach students between the ages of 6 to 12. This means that the candidate teachers should acquire knowledge, skills, as well develop the pedagogical practices and attitudes that will enable them to organize learning environments that can enhance the holistic development of the students. Based on this context, through teaching and research, teachers should be prepared to support the social, emotional, psychomotor, and moral development of students, beyond the mere focus on student’s cognitive development. To be able to reach these objectives, both the course content and methodology aim at forming a reflective educator who will be able to evaluate her/his teaching and pedagogical decisions in order to improve their practice.
Occupational Profiles of Graduates with Examples
Graduates of the programme work as primary school teachers, establish their own learning or activity centers, or work in other educational and related settings.
Access to Further Studies
Graduates of the programme can be accepted into Second Cycle degrees (Master’s Degree)
Academic Admission
In order to be admitted to the program, the candidates are required to submit the following documents:
- Copy of High School Leaving Certificate with a grade of at least 15/20 or equivalent qualification of a different grade system.
- Minimum grade in Greek and Mathematics 15/20.
If the candidates do not meet the above criteria, they may take a specific examination for admission to the program.
Course assessment usually comprises of a comprehensive final exam and continuous assessment. Continuous assessment can include amongst others, mid-terms, projects and class participation.
Letter grades are calculated based on the weight of the final exam and the continuous assessment and the actual numerical marks obtained in these two assessment components. Based on the course grades the student’s semester grade point average (GPA) and cumulative point average (CPA) are calculated.
The student must complete 240 ECTS and all programme requirements.
A minimum cumulative grade point average (CPA) of 2.0 is required. Thus, although a ‘D-‘ is a PASS grade, in order to achieve a CPA of 2.0 an average grade of ‘C’ is required.
Upon successful completion of this program, the students should be able to:
- Define the concepts and principles of pedagogy based on the educational needs of the 21st century.
- Examine the theoretical background of pedagogy through the study historical, philosophic, psychological, and sociological perspectives on teaching and learning.
- Demonstrate an in-depth understanding of the school’s and the educator’s role in society today, as well as their mission for promoting the overall development of students in the 21st century.
- Demonstrate the pedagogical knowledge and teaching skills that will enable them to effectively structure their lesson & teach in ways that will enhance the cognitive, emotional and psychomotor skills of students.
- Plan and design learning environments that can enhance students’ critical and creative thinking as well as their communication skills.
