Brief Overview

Center of Teacher Education at National Cheng Kung University was established in 1995, under the Office of Academic Affairs. The Center supports teacher education program to prepare secondary-level school teachers. The Center admits 135 students each academic year. We currently have around 300 students enrolled in the program.

 

Goals & Curriculum

The goals of the curriculum offered by the Center are four folds : 1. basic educational knowledge and practice leadership ability; 2. creativity and multiple characteristics; 3. Future and global vision; 4. quality of humanism and technology. To achieve these goals, our Center provides more then 10 required courses and elective courses each semester for students to take.

Of the 26 credits needed for certification, including foundation courses, methodology courses, and practical training. In addition, the hidden curriculums ( such as club activities, service learning, school visit) within the university also help students to develop their expertise and cultivate their mature personality. After graduation, student teachers have to take half-year practicum in the secondary schools to get their certificates.
