Faculty of Education and Psychology


The proposal for starting the faculty of education as an academic unit of Shiraz University was presented to the Ministry of Higher Education by the late Professor Asghar Razavieh. The general principles of the proposal were accepted in 1353. In 1356, it started to work under the title of the Faculty of Education recruiting a total of 250 students, 40 students in the field of education and 30 students in each of the other 7 fields of study (teaching Persian literature, teaching English literature, teaching social sciences, teaching physics, teaching chemistry, teaching biology, teaching mathematics).

As the name implies, the training of specialized personnel for teaching in various fields of science has been on the main agenda and mission of this faculty. Also the field of psychology, which was a subset of the Faculty of Literature and Science before 1977, was transferred to the Faculty of Educational Sciences, and all postgraduate students majoring in Educational Psychology continued their studies at the Faculty of Educational Sciences.

This process continued until the Cultural Revolution in 1980. After the Cultural Revolution, the fields of physics, biology, chemistry and mathematics education were transferred to the Faculty of Science, and 2 years later, the fields of Persian Literature, English Literature and Social Sciences were transferred to the Faculty of Humanities.

The Faculty of Educational Sciences, which was a discipline before the Cultural Revolution, was restructured and divided into four departments, including Exceptional Children Education, Educational Management and Planning, Fundamentals of Education, and Educational Psychology. Then, in 1986, the physical education department was added to the faculty.

In 2005, following the division of the Faculty of Humanities into the Faculty of Literature and Humanities, and Economics, Management and Social Sciences, the Library Department (current Information Science and Knowledge) joined the Faculty of Educational Sciences. At present, the faculty is operating with 7 departments offering various study programs at undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral levels.
