The Flinders University of South Australia

The Mathematics Education Department has merged with the Science Education Department. The new combined department is called the Department of Mathematics and Science Education.

Recognized as a national research leader in the fields of mathematics and science education, this department combines the expertise of its internationally known faculty with the energy and innovation of its rising young scholars.

The faculty’s influential research has included topics such as mathematics curricula, research in mathematics education, the history of mathematics curricula and education, emotional dimensions of school mathematics experiences, tools for interactive mathematical material, socio-cultural-political factors that influence science teaching and learning, international science education, psychology of learning science and technology used in mathematics and science education.

Central Queensland University

The Mathematics Learning Centre staff would like to welcome you to this resource for background mathematics for Education programs at University.

This web page has been especially prepared for you to assist in the understanding of the background mathematics content and concepts needed for Education Students at University. The content is presented in an way where you are able to work through it at your own pace. The Mathematics Learning Centre is a support unit of University. We offer and provide assistance in mathematics and statistics for students of the University irrespective of mode of study.

It is our experience over several years that many students who enroll in a program of study which contain a component of mathematics do have difficulty with the mathematics, especially in first year.

University of London

MA Mathematics Education

The aim of Institute of Education – University of London is to develop a greater understanding of a range of areas of research and practice in the teaching and learning of mathematics. One year full time or two years part time.

The programme gives you the opportunity to:

Consider developments in information technology; assessment, change and dvelopment in the curriculum; sociological, psychological and linguistic issues; gender and mathematics; and vocational mathematics.

Work with tutors who are at the forefront of mathematics education research and who are directly involved in some of these developments.

Teachers in primary, secondary and further education who are interested in mathematics education. You will have some opportunity to engage further with mathematics that is relevant to your phase of teaching, though the main focus will be on mathematice education rather than mathematics itself.

University of Manitoba

Presently, this faculty is offering specific programs of studies in educational administration, language and literacy, mathematics education, and science education. For September 2009, the faculty will be admitting students to areas not subsumed in existing program areas and to a one time cohort for Mathematics and Science.

Due to budgetary and/or staffing constraints admission to the Ph.D. in Education is limited; therefore, in recent years, there have been admissions to the program areas of Educational Administration, Language and Literacy, and a one time cohort intake to Inclusive Special Education.

University of British Columbia

Two masters programs are offered in Mathematics Education and each can be completed through either part-time or full-time study. Course work consists of a combination of required courses and courses chosen by the student in consultation with a graduate advisor.

The Master of Education program is intended primarily for those wishing to pursue advanced professional studies in education. Course work consists of at least 30 credits, 24 credits of which are selected from courses numbered 500 or above. (A graduating paper or graduating project is included).

University of Alberta

On one hand, if we believe that mathematics is harmless and innocent because it has little to do with the world we live in, then we might simply respond that mathematics education does not have a role in civic education outside of offering some form of mental stimulation or exercise for the mind. However, even the pure mathematician agrees that mathematics is part of our human experience. As Keith Devlin notes, "the study of mathematics is ultimately the study of humanity itself"
