The course will build on students’ knowledge in educational research and aspects of mathematics education research.
The course is designed to build on the knowledge of the student in curriculum development at the masters’ level.
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 project forms a major part of the course. Its objective is to provide the student with the opportunity to apply knowledge obtained from the rest of the course to the solution of a practical problem.
The course exposes students to definition and purposes of research, types of research problems in computer science.
This course provides students with knowledge of the principles, forms and strategies for assessing learning of various kinds, especially those involved with cognitive skill development
The aim of this course is to orientate learners in terms of instructional design theory and practice.
The course will examine definition of curriculum; objectives. Content, methods, teaching materials and assessment procedures; types of curriculum – teaching and
examination, intended, attained, implemented; selection and sequencing of computer science content and assessment in computer science such as schools and WAEC.
This requirement of the programme focuses in getting students to acquire practical experience on the job as industrial relations officers, during their long vacation. Students will thus be required to spend a maximum period of one month in an internship position and return with a confidential assessment by the section head. The criteria for assessment will be provided by the course coordinator.
