EDUC258: Mathematics in Schools
This unit is compulsory for all intending primary teachers and intending secondary mathematics teachers. It focuses on the factors affecting school students' learning of mathematics. Three major themes are addressed: the meaning of selected basic concepts; how students learn these basic concepts; and how teaching can influence student learning. There is a common lecture strand which examines current research perspectives on learning and teaching mathematics in schools, and separate tutorial classes for intending primary and secondary teachers. The external offering is only available to intending primary teachers.
