数学教育硕士

已经开发了数学教育硕士学位课程，以满足高中数学老师的专业需求。俄亥俄州教育部的执照颁发准则现在要求所有K-12年级的教师在其内容领域或通识教育中均修完硕士学位课程，以便为第二次续签保持临时教学许可。数学系已经创建了MME来满足此要求，并且该MME旨在解决对高中数学教育者特别重要的问题。该计划的主要特征包括：侧重于教学内容知识的课程，将教师的数学知识与数学家的知识区分开的特殊知识，学生发展出更强大的数学内容知识以及应用该知识的能力和机会9-12年级课程，介绍数学教育中的主要研究问题以及定量和定性方法，着重关
The mathematics education master's degree program has been developed to meet the professional needs of high school mathematics teachers. Ohio Department of Education licensure guidelines now require that all K-12 grade teachers complete a master's degree program in their content area or general education in order to maintain a provisional teaching license for a second renewal. The Department of Mathematics has created the MME to meet this requirement, and it has been designed to address issues that are especially important to high school mathematics educators. Key features of the program include: curriculum that focuses on pedagogical content knowledge, the special knowledge that distinguishes the mathematics knowledge of teachers from that of mathematicians, student development of a stronger mathematics content knowledge, as well as the ability and opportunity to apply this knowledge to the 9-12 grade curriculum, introduction to major research issues and both quantitative and qualitative methods in mathematics education, focus on students' continued growth as leaders in education, an emphasis on the latest technological advances - both computer-based and using hand-held graphing utilities. Additionally, students will consistently experience the best practices as modeled by program faculty whose area of expertise is mathematics education.
