Bachelor of Mathematics Education (886)

The Bachelor of Mathematics Education course is directed towards providing pre-service educational training for teachers. The degree focuses on developing secondary school teachers as critical reflective practitioners with a sound basis of practical teaching skills. In addition, this degree also develops mathematical concepts in a broad range of areas to provide a full Mathematics major in a specialisation of their choice that can be utilised in other community settings. The degree is an innovative approach in providing students both the mathematical knowledge/training and the teaching/educational training in an integrated fashion.

Students accepted into the program will study the following areas:

  • Educational Foundation Studies
  • Curriculum & Pedagogy
  • Discipline Studies in Mathematics
  • Teaching & Learning in Mathematics

The degree is structured to allow the integration of university and classroom throughout the course. Degree delivery includes lectures, tutorials, seminars and school-based workshops using alternative modes of delivery.
