EDUC258: Mathematics in Schools |
This unit focuses on the factors affecting school students' learning of mathematics. Three major themes are addressed: the role of mathematics in human experience; the meaning of selected basic concepts, and the pathways by which students learn these concepts; and how teaching influences students' learning of, and beliefs about, mathematics. A K-12 perspective is taken in the lectures, but students choose tutorials and practicals with either a primary or a secondary emphasis. The external offering is only available to intending primary teachers.
The unit is normally completed in the second year of a full-time program.
