EDC141 The Numerate Educator
|
| UNIT REFERENCES, TEXTS, OUTCOMES AND ASSESSMENT DETAILS: | The most up-to-date information about unit references, texts and outcomes, will be provided in the unit outline. |
| Syllabus: | This unit precedes a series of units on mathematics education and focuses on pre-service teacher mathematical content knowledge and personal numeracy. Personal numeracy skills in mathematical relationships, expressions, and applications will be developed and personal attitudes and anxiety towards mathematics and levels of confidence of educators about teaching mathematics will be explored and addressed. The impact of educator mathematical content knowledge on the development and application of appropriate numeracy teaching strategies will be emphasised. Personal numeracy required by educators will be extended through consideration of mathematics in work and leisure, as well its role as a tool for understanding the world. Mathematical language and how to communicate mathematical ideas with words, pictures and symbols are emphasised. Particular aspects of mathematics required for teaching, including basic statistics, interpretation of national test data, and interpretation of research and government documents, are also covered. |
