Course Description

The main objective of this course is mathematic teacher-training for elementary and junior high school education. Students in the mathematic education course are to study what should be taught, how it should be taught at school, and how children think from various aspects of education such as teaching methodology, epistemology, curriculum theory and other related areas of study. In mathematic classes, students study algebra, geometry, mathematical analysis, probability and statistics, and other mathematical subjects at a more advanced level than hitherto, an invitation to the attractive world of mathematics. Junior students participate in seminars and start preparing for thesis writing under the faculty's instruction, where they analyze video tapes of their own teaching practices and read a miscellany of literature and materials. In their final year, students are to decide on the theme of their graduation theses and conduct research, discuss their ideas with teachers and classmates, and complete their theses. While many of our graduates become teachers, some enter graduate schools to pursue their studies.
