Overview
The Mathematics Education programme offered by the University of Cambridge is taught by a specialist team, and its student cohort is drawn primarily from UK-based professionals (most of whom continue in their full-time posts while taking the course part-time) and international students (most of whom take the course on a full-time basis as a specialism within the Educational Research master's route).
The Mathematics Education route develops students' understanding of a number of important issues in the field of mathematics education. Students learn to interpret and critically engage with ideas and debates in mathematics education research in three ways:- through taught sessions in mathematics education
- through work on course assignments under the supervision of a member of the teaching team
- through participation in seminars led by students on the route and in project workshops
- examine the theoretical frameworks used in the study of education and its constituent disciplines
- provide training in research methods appropriate to education
- advance students’ capacity for professional reflection and judgment
- cater to a range of specialists interested within the field of education or one of its constituent disciplines
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, students will be able to:- demonstrate knowledge and understanding of literature and concepts relating to mathematics education research and practice
- show abilities in the critical analysis of mathematics education issues and practices
- apply knowledge and understanding of educational research to plan and implement inquiry into an issue related to the course
- communicate the outcomes of their study and research through extended writing conforming to stipulated academic expectations and conventions
