Exam Type
The Department of STEAM Education launched an MEd in Mathematics Education in February 2006 and has been offering courses to produce quality teachers, teacher educators, material developers, and researchers. The program has been running smoothly, and our graduates have been absorbed in reputed positions in their respective fields both within Nepal and abroad. The MEd in Mathematics Education Program supports educators in innovate and transform pedagogical and professional practices.
Key Features of the Program
The main aim of this program is to prepare teachers, teacher educators, material developers, researchers in the field of mathematics education. Specifically, the prospective teachers will be able to:
follow the latest principles and methodology in mathematics teaching
undertake small-scale research to improve their own pedagogical skill
design and deliver a short-term teacher development packages for mathematics teachers
develop appropriate mathematics curricula, textbooks, modules, and projected and non-projected materials.
educate preservice and in-service teachers for effective teaching of mathematics
carry out several activities to promote the importance of mathematics education
Structure of the program
The program is of four semesters expanding for two years. There are courses for 54 credits comprising Core Courses (6 credits), Foundation Courses (21 credits), Specialization Professional Courses (12 credits), Practical Courses (9 Credits) and Elective Courses (6 credits).
