A credit of 3 units is given to any of the following foundation courses:
Educ 201 - Philo. Foundations of Education
Educ. 202 - Psycho. Foundations of Education
Educ. 203 - Socio-Anthro. Foundations of Education
Sci.Ed 205 Curriculum Development In Science And Math
Description: A study of the changing concepts of the curriculum with advance
point determinants, composition and curriculum development with planning,
designing and evaluation stressed. The role of administrators and teachers for
curriculum improvement included.
Credit : 3 units (3 hours lecture/week)
Sci.Ed. 228 Environmental Education
Description: Rationale of Environmental education, curriculum development,
teaching strategies, designing projects and then demonstrating them. Reports,
classroom experiences, and other devices provide feedback on the
implementation of the strategies.
Prerequisite : Educational Psychology and Methods of Teaching.
Credit : 2 units (2 hours lecture/week)
B. SPECIALIZATION COURSES
Math 201 Set Theory
Description: Most known mathematics can be expressed in terms of sets and
language of logic and sets is utilized in every mathematical discipline. It is
important that a teacher of mathematics should have a fair background of its
theories. The course content includes the use of the axiomatic system,
language of the set theory, “Truth, of sentence, algebra of sets, Boolean
algebra relations, order relations, equivalence relations, inverse relations,
cardinal numbers, arithmetic of cardinal numbers, axioms of set theory.
Credit : 3 units (3 hours lecture/week)
Math Ed 234 Selected Topics In Algebra & Trigonometry
Description: This course deals with topics in Algebra, linear algebra and
trigonometry.
Credit : 3 units (3 hours lecture/week)
Math Ed 235 Selected Topics In Geometry
Description: This course deals with selected topics in plane and solid
geometry and non-eucledian geometry.
Credit : 3 units (3 hours lecture/week)
Math Ed 238 Intermediate Statistics
Description: This course includes counting principles, probability laws,
probability distribution, sampling from normal distribution, simple linear
regression, multiple regression, logistic regression, analysis of variance,
ruskalwallis Anova, orrelation analysis.
Credit : 3 units (3 hours lecture/week)
Math Ed 240 Computer Education
Description: The study of computer programming language called BASIC. It
deals with background information about computer center. It focuses on the
ideas and techniques of structured and modular programming, program
readability and program documentation.
