6cp
Postgraduate
Subject coordinator: Anne Prescott

This subject aims to encourage students to develop their own consistent philosophy of teaching mathematics and to provide a framework on which they may base their teaching of mathematics in the secondary school. Students become familiar with aspects of child development and theories of learning as they relate to mathematics education, and develop understanding of the principles underlying curriculum construction. The link with the practicum helps students to develop the professional insights and competencies necessary for a reflective practitioner teaching mathematics in the secondary school.
