The Bachelor of Science in Mathematics Teaching aims to provide students with the skills to explore the depths of mathematical science and to teach effectively by combining this knowledge with teaching methods. The program provides comprehensive instruction in mathematical concepts, theorems, and methods of solving problems, usually over the course of four years of undergraduate study. It also includes courses in educational sciences and teaching practice, which are essential for graduates to become successful mathematics teachers in classroom settings.
The academic content of the program includes basic branches of mathematics such as algebra, geometry, calculus, probability and statistics, while also offering courses to develop skills such as mathematical thinking, problem solving techniques and mathematical proof methods. In these courses, students develop an in-depth understanding of mathematical theories and develop their ability to solve a variety of mathematical problems. Teaching methods include lectures, seminars, group work and laboratory work specifically designed for teaching mathematics. In addition, students participate in classroom practicums and teaching internships designed to develop their teaching skills.
As for career opportunities, graduates are usually eligible to work as math teachers in public and private schools. They can also pursue careers in fields such as educational technology, curriculum development and student counseling. Apart from teaching, their mathematical skills and analytical thinking abilities make graduates in demand in different sectors, especially in areas such as analysis, technology and engineering.
The Mathematics Teacher Education program provides students with not only the knowledge of mathematics, but also the ability to teach this knowledge effectively, enabling them to contribute to society as knowledgeable and qualified teachers. By combining both theoretical and practical teaching methods, this program provides students with a comprehensive training in understanding complex mathematical concepts and teaching them to others.
