INTRODUCTION |
| |
| Registering
for the Mathematics with Education Option gives you the
opportunity to spend three (3) years obtaining both |
-
A B.Sc. in Mathematics
AND
-
A Teacher certification approved by the Ministry of
Education and Youth.
|
| Students
doing the Mathematics with Education Option: |
-
Graduate with a “B.Sc. in Mathematics with Education”
-
Avoid having to register for a separate one-year certification
programme after graduation and, as a result, accomplish
in three years what traditionally could only be done
in four years (due to the unavailability of such a
joint programme)
-
Take courses in both the Faculty of Pure and Applied
Sciences and the Faculty of Humanities and Education
and acquire Mathematical content knowledge, knowledge
of the theoretical aspects of Mathematics Education
as well as practical teaching experience over the
course of their degree.
|
| The
programme caters to trained teachers as well as to those
who have not yet received any formal training. |

REQUIREMENTS FOR INDIVIDUALS
WHO HAVE NOT YET UNDERGONE TEACHER TRAINING |
| |
In
addition to meeting all the requirements determined by
the Faculty of Pure and Applied Sciences, students in
the Mathematics with Education Option are required to
take the following courses:

Level I credits of Science subjects other than Mathematics
offered in the F.P.A.S.
Any student wishing to retain the option of doing a science
subject (other than Mathematics) at Level II should ensure
that they take the required prerequisite courses at Level
I. Note, for example, that taking CS11A and CS11B allows
for the possibility of taking a Level II Computer Science
course. Taking C10J and P14B, however, limits students’
choices of Chemistry as well as Physics courses at Level
II.
