Program Details
Focus of Study
The M.Ed. in Mathematics Education program is designed for those teaching at the secondary or college level in the field of mathematics. This set of coursework uses a discovery model in mathematics to help instructors identify problems in their curricula and adapt these by adding or subtracting information, critiquing scenarios, providing overarching data, and allowing students to create predictive models to test against the gathered data to determine accuracy. Designed to support integrative ideas, from algebra, geometry, trigonometry, statistics, and calculus, events and influential mathematicians bring the human factor into the discovery of fundamental constructs which influence a broader understanding of underlying concepts. The courses are crafted to enhance teaching strategies while modeling intellectual processes essential for solving real-world problems.
