Overview

The Mathematics Education programme of Rutgers University stresses the need for students to be familiar with the entire K-16 range of mathematics learners, challenges, and current developments.

As such, it is appropriate for prospective researchers in mathematics education, college-level mathematics instructors, secondary mathematics teachers, and in exceptional cases, elementary teachers with a strong interest and background in mathematics.

The core curriculum provides students with a foundational understanding of the principles in mathematics education, while elective courses deal with basic problems in the learning and teaching of mathematics, techniques and strategies for studying children’s mathematical thinking, the uses of technology in mathematics teaching, and topics within mathematics itself.

Programme goals

Mathematics Education students will expand and deepen their own understanding of mathematics and how it is learned. Specifically, this includes being able to: identify the mathematics in their own and other students’ reasoning; understand the types of environments that support growth in their students’ reasoning; and determine the validity and learning opportunities contained in their students’ arguments.

Mathematics Education students will learn how to collaborate with their peers and colleagues to grow professionally and support their own and other students’ learning of mathematics.

Mathematics Education students will understand how the diversity, strengths, and identities of their own students influence how they learn and consider these factors in planning for access and support in mathematics lessons.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

The Mathematics Education programme offers accepted students the opportunity to expand their mathematics background, acquaint themselves with and enhance their practice of various methods and techniques for teaching mathematics, and to participate in practical experiences creating effective classroom environments for children learning mathematics.

Students in the programme will engage in independent studies, small group work, and traditional whole-group class sessions.

Students will also be involved in the ongoing research and professional development activities of the faculty and doctoral students in mathematics education.
