What should we be teaching in mathematics, and which approaches and frameworks are we using to teach it? How does the latest research evidence fit with Government promoted approaches? And is current curriculum design and classroom practice enough, not only to inspire the mathematicians of tomorrow but to give everyone the confidence to use mathematics in their everyday lives?
This Mathematics Education MA equips you to challenge dominant narratives and explore alternative perspectives on mathematics education. You’ll learn to analyse, evaluate and help develop diverse ways to enhance mathematics pedagogy and practice – as a teacher, policymaker or researcher – in ways that better serve the needs of learners, organisations and society.
Focusing on the interplay between research, policy and practice across all education phases, from early years to higher education, you’ll investigate the diverse social, cultural and political influences impacting the way mathematics is taught here in England and globally.
Working alongside UCL’s global experts in mathematics education, as part of UCL’s Mathematics Education Group (one of the largest groups of mathematics education researchers in England), you’ll build a strong theoretical underpinning to your work.
You’ll learn about what mathematics is needed for future flourishing, how social demographics intersect with mathematics learning and assessment opportunities and outcomes, and how governments decide on mathematics education priorities.
Alongside this deep theoretical knowledge base, you’ll also acquire practical skills in areas like curriculum development, and using the latest digital technologies in the classroom, as we explore how people learn mathematics best across all education phases, and what this means for the future of mathematics teaching.
