Dept. of Education

Introducing our department.

Dong-A University's Department of Education was newly established in the College of Humanities and Sciences in December 1972, and the Master's and Doctoral programs in Education were established in 1979 and 1981, respectively, and have been in existence up to the present.

Since education is a planned change in human behavior, pedagogy studies educational phenomena and the psychological, definitional, and physical characteristics of learners for this purpose, and seeks to achieve planned changes in human behavior through more efficient and competitive educational content, educational systems, and methods.

Educational Goals

The Department of Education operates an educational curriculum that optimally harmonizes the theory and practice of pedagogy with the goal of educating educational specialists such as secondary teachers, educational administrators, and researchers who will lead secondary education in Korea. For this purpose, the department appropriately allocates teachers and lecturers with practical experience in the field of education and the best professors in their fields of specialization according to the characteristics of each subject area to cultivate theoretical and practical skills, decision-making abilities, and research skills in the field of education.
