The field of Educational Sciences encompasses numerous specializations, such as Educational Technology, Preschool and Elementary Education, Educational Management, Philosophy of Education, Curriculum Studies, and others. Although there is considerable diversity in the specializations within Educational Sciences, all of them consider the intellectual study of educational processes, systems, and approaches, as well as cultural, social, political, and historical contexts. In this regard, the field of Educational Sciences should be designed to provide students with a general overview of how society and education function, and an understanding of human and organizational behavior, enabling students to acquire the knowledge necessary to think and act as social thinkers. In essence, students in this field should be equipped with a comprehensive view of current trends and research findings, effective strategies, learning methods, teaching (such as problem-based learning, the use of information and communication technology for teaching and learning, etc.), professional attitudes, and methods and tools for continuous development. Accordingly, the field of Educational Sciences serves as an introduction to the most important professional issues in the theory and practice of education, and this program aims to share scientific and educational content that will contribute to the development of students' understanding of this field for dissemination within society.
