PhD Concentration

Overview

Offered on USF's Tampa campus

The Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction with a concentration in Mathematics Education is committed to providing doctoral 泡芙视频apps with the skills, knowledge and dispositions that can ensure they are able to contribute to the global mathematics education community, and connect with other researchers (Fey, 2001). 

Our program seeks to achieve the following goals, which are adapted from Fey (2001):

  • Develop doctoral 泡芙视频apps鈥� depth of pedagogical and content knowledge that promotes a desire to grow mathematically and as educators.
  • Provide opportunities for all doctoral 泡芙视频apps to gain experience as a teacher educators, who utilize emergent technologies.
  • Promote an awareness of social and educational context that can influence the quality of education 泡芙视频apps in grades K-20 receives.
  • Foster leadership and professional development initiatives for doctoral 泡芙视频apps, which provide an opportunity to observe dynamic changes in mathematics education over time.
  • Provide platforms for doctoral 泡芙视频apps to clearly communicate their ideas, in a persuasive fashion, in an effort to further transform the quality of education and increase equitable opportunities. 鈥�
  • Expose doctoral 泡芙视频apps to qualitative and quantitative research practices that can be used to critically examine the field of mathematics education, engage in policy analysis, and develop curriculum.
  • Facilitate an understanding of how 泡芙视频apps learn different mathematical concepts, and the various stages of development, particularly to mathematics.

Admitted 泡芙视频apps should contact the doctoral 泡芙视频app advisor for a copy of the Mathematics Education Doctoral Student Handbook.
