MTE 653 - Theories of Mathematical Learning

Credits 3
Requirements: Prerequisite: Mathematics Education Doctoral Program OnlyLecture
This course will examine contemporary theories of learning psychologies and their applications to research in mathematics education. It is intended to help students understand ways of knowing and how this drives research and will critically examine the literature regarding the role and plurality of theories in mathematics education. Particular attention will be given to understanding the nature of research paradigms and types of research frameworks, enabling students to situate their research in relevant frameworks, and understanding the implications of theoretical frameworks for research design. Students will apply their learning through the design of a researchable topic, situated in an appropriate theory of learning, and the subsequent development of a sample proposal for research funding.
