JEONBUK NATIONAL UNIVERSITY
The Department of Science Education, established to foster secondary science teachers who will be responsible for future science education, began with the establishment of the Department of Science Education in December 1971, and the addition of Earth Science Education to physics education, biology education, and chemistry education in the Department of Science Education in 1973.
Since then, the four majors in the Department of Science Education have been independent of each department since 1980, and since 1999, they have been integrated into the Department of Science Education again, changing to the Department of Earth Science Education. It aims to cultivate competent secondary school geoscience teachers by systematically understanding the basic concepts of geoscientific phenomena and providing them with basic knowledge necessary to explore the regularity of nature. To achieve this educational purpose, many faculty members have been working hard to improve the skills of students every other day and night since the opening of the school.
The faculty of the main course, which started as a science education major, started as one professor when the school opened in 1973, but since then, the professors have been continuously reinforced, and now five professors are living with the students
The formation of faculty members majoring in geology, oceanography, meteorology, astronomy, and earth science education, which make up earth science, made it possible to provide systematic guidance for students.
