Building on preservice teachers' growing understandings of how children learn mathematics, this subject will explore mathematical and pedagogical issues at an advanced level in teaching and learning mathematics across the curriculum, including examining current national and state curriculum frameworks (primary years) and policies in mathematics education. The subject aims to equip preservice teachers as reflective practitioners, to plan, implement and evaluate mathematical pedagogies that are informed by research and support contemporary approaches to children's learning in the primary setting.
Learning Outcomes
- plan for the integration of mathematical learning across all curriculum areas, and address issues of access and equity in teaching mathematics;
- demonstrate sound pedagogical content knowledge for teaching primary mathematics as stipulated in current curriculum frameworks;
- demonstrate confidence and skills in planning and assessing children's mathematical learning in the primary years.
Graduate Qualities
- The ability to adapt knowledge to new situations;
- The ability to think critically, to analyse and evaluate claims, evidence and arguments, and to reason and deploy evidence clearly and logically;
- The acquisition of coherent and disciplined sets of skills, knowledge, values and professional ethics from at least one discipline area.
