Course List

This course aims to strengthen participants’ knowledge of the topics in the Optional section and to be able to apply sound pedagogy in order to enable   understanding on the part of students.

This course aims to enable participants to experience investigating themselves and then develop the appropriate teaching skills for such work in their classrooms.

In this course, participants will be exposed to educational research studies and literature that have explored some of these issues with a view to gaining a deeper understanding of the issues and developing action plans for their own practice in relation to these issues and others. 

This course is the prerequisite to EDME2201, EDME2204, EDME3201, EDME3202.                        

This course aims to give teachers some understanding of the nature of algebra and to develop skills and techniques common to CPE and A Level syllabuses which will be required for later mathematics courses.

This course is the prerequisite to EDME2201,EDME2203.                                                            

This course aims to allow teachers to appreciate the nature, purposes and history of Geometry in various forms in describing and working on properties of space.

At the end of the course the students will:

1. Understand and articulate the rationale for educational measurement and evaluation
2. Understand the classification of objectives and their use in the table of specification
3. Appreciate and utilize the use the table of specification in compiling a test
4. Be sensitized to specified alternative assessment measures
5. Understand and use statistics in a testing and measurement environment
6. Appreciate the need for and application of valid data collection instruments
7. Examine and value standardized testing for educational assessment
8. Understand the value and need for simple classroom research study

This course is the prerequisite to EDME2202, EDME3202.                                                            

This course is intended to provide the student with an initial understanding of differential and integral calculus and its applications.

This course is to teach the basic concepts and some elementary methods in probability and statistical inference.

In this course the student will develop skills in the complex number system, trigonometry and the analytic geometry.  Analytic geometry is a 17th century development that bridges the areas of geometry and algebra.  It calls for the use of algebraic expressions to define geometric shapes such as points, lines, circles, etc.  Geometries will be considered with an emphasis on problem solving.

This course is the prerequisite to EDME3201, EDME3204.                                                              

The course is intended to provide students with exposure to relevant ideas for future courses in Calculus and/or Statistics. It is an important tool in the ongoing rapid revolution of electronics, computers and also provides the logical foundations upon which much of mathematics rests.
