| 471511 | Research Design & Statistical Methods | 3 |
|
| The course aims at providing students with the concept of design, goals and principles. It offers kinds of designs such as analysis of variance, analysis of variance design, correlative studies, multiple regression analysis by using “SPSS” and other statistical analysis. | |||
| 471515 | Seminar in Writing Master Thesis | 3 |
|
| In this course, students study multiple theses in education, from which students make presentations discussing point of weakness and strength. Students also learn objective criticism for such theses and are trained to write a good research plan. | |||
| 471554 | Computer in Education | 3 |
|
| This course aims at introducing the students with the multi uses of computer in Educationsuch as: e-learning, computer-based education and simulation, and the multi computerbasedprograms and how to design and evaluate them. It also addresses the concepts of Elearningand its evolution over time as a response to developments in informationtechnology. | |||
| 474518 | Analytical Study of Major Curriculum | 3 |
|
| Topics covered in this course include theoretical perspective and other major curriculum projects. Reform movements will be considered in light of historical events and the current social climate and an in-depth study of analysing the mathematics will be endeavoured. Other topics include the development of research models for the investigation of specific types of research plus curriculum problems in mathematics education. | |||
| 474533 | Methods of Teaching Math's 1 | 3 |
|
| This course provides a foundation in the pedagogy of mathematics, focusing on the use of problem solving, cooperative learning, the appropriate tools for teaching algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, statistics and probability, measurement, and number concepts and operation. In addition, issues in mathematics teacher education at both thepreserves and in-service levels will be examined from theoretical and practical perspectives. | |||
| 474534 | Methods of Teaching Math's 11 | 3 |
|
| This course examines the foundation in teaching and learning of mathematics, the theories of learning in mathematics, the nature of mathematics and the student's mathematical processes (problem solving, reasoning, representation, communication, and connections). It also analyses middle and high school mathematics curricula from the perspective of adolescent learning. | |||
| 474599 | Thesis | 6 |
|
| In this course, a graduate student must submit a thesis and pass an oral defence related to his/her thesis. (See Academic Rules and Regulations for Graduate Students). | |||

| 471557 | Educational Design | 3 |
|
| This course explains the educational models that were used in teaching designing such as “Dick and Kari” model, and the model for “Robert Ganeh”. In addition, this course includes the educational environment analysis, the general educational aims, theeducational content analysis, analysis of learners’ qualities, specific behavioural aims, designing exams, identifying for teaching methods and aids, the process of constitutional evaluation, the process of summative evaluation. This course is taught in two levels - theoretical and operational, using different lessons in curriculum that is used in public schools. | |||
| 474522 | Evaluation of Curricula in Math's | 3 |
|
| This course consists of a critical study of current issues, trends, and the design and evaluation of curriculum in mathematics education. Students will develop use, and evaluate teaching units as a major part of the work in this course. In addition to a balanced study of theoretical research based foundations and classroom-reform-based perspectives on assessment and evaluation in school mathematics. Other topics include the consideration of alternate forms of assessment and evaluation of mathematics teaching and of students’ mathematical learning, the curriculum goals of reading and evaluation of original research and issues of validity and reliability in measurements is assembling components for the writing tests and research. | |||
| 474544 | Current Issues in Teaching Mathematics | 3 |
|
| The course examines the historical origins and evolution of key mathematics concepts.Selected topics are chosen from number systems, numeration, computation, numbertheory, algebra, geometry, analytic geometry, and calculus. This course explores the usesof various technologies in mathematics classes, demonstrated through hands-on activitiesand experiences. | |||
| 474545 | Evaluation in Teaching Math's | 3 |
|
| This course is a formal study of basic and advanced concepts of Mathematics Educationwith an emphasis on Assessment and Evaluation. The course of study advances students’knowledge, skills, and behaviors in evaluation mathematics . The course is intended toexpose students to theoretical frameworks and evaluative schemes use mathematicseducation, examine factors that influence learning, and actively engage students inmathematical learning experiences. The class will explore the natural course ofmathematics education through a variety of learning experiences and evaluative methodsthat require students to be active agents, central to the learning process. | |||
| 474546 | Mathematics, its Nature and its Teaching Pedagogies | 3 |
|
| Topics in this course include the historical development of mathematics and the variety of philosophies in mathematics education. Other topics include social trends affecting math education and local frameworks addressing national and global concerns. The course will employ a variety of methods intended to give teachers a broad array of pedagogical tools for use in their classrooms (including dialogic process, constructivist practices, inquiry and other current best practices). | |||
