This course is a balanced study between theoretical researched-based foundations and applications of statistical methods for analyses of quantitative and qualitative research data.
The course aims to develop knowledge and skills of mathematics educators who are able to conduct research to improve teaching and learning in schools and other educational settings
The course will provide students’ opportunities to develop their Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) and skills to design, enact and evaluate ICT-based lessons using a variety of ICT tools that support different teaching and learning strategies. Students will gain enough computer knowledge such as Office Suite, EndNotes, Qualitative and Quantitative Data Analysis software to complete their thesis and oral examination
The course will explore various notions of problems, problem-solving, problem posing, and teaching of problem solving from multiple research perspectives.
The course aims to provide a detailed study and evaluation of recent research developments within the fields of learning, perception and cognition,
and guide students to consider the implications of these recent advances on mathematics instruction.
The course is intended to deal with the assessment of cognitive, psychomotor and affective development of students and perspectives of assessment of mathematics teaching and learning
This course is designed to expose students to contemporary issues in curriculum studies and development in mathematics education.
The course will examine various philosophies of mathematics and their implications for their definitions of mathematics, the development of mathematics,
the structure and nature of some branches of mathematics, abstraction, symbolism, induction, deduction, mathematical logic, proofs and models in mathematics.
The course will expose students to advanced core areas in Mathematics to enable them acquire concepts and skills that will enhance their
competence in Mathematics Education research at the highest level.
The course is designed to guide students to develop and research on cultural and ethnic specific concepts and practices in
African and other developing countries relevant to school mathematics.
