What will I learn?

Overview

This pathway is designed for UK and international mathematics teachers and other professionals working in mathematics education, from primary schools to Higher Education, or those working in community-based settings. You will be supported in integrating the theory and practice of teaching and learning mathematics by: being an active researcher of your own and others' practice, including reworking your own practice; carrying out small-scale research projects, one of which can act as a pilot project for the major work of your dissertation; engaging with research literature, especially the current journals and activity of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education; engaging with new developments in teaching and learning mathematics; updating your mathematics knowledge; writing assignments that show the emergence of a theoretical frame, presenting a literature search and developing ideas from a seminar; becoming confident with presentation, argumentation, research and ICT skills. The programme has been recognised as excellent by the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics.
