Learning outcomes
Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.
| On completion of this unit, students should be able to: | |
|---|---|
| 1 | demonstrate an understanding of and proficiency in the mathematical concepts and techniques relevant to advanced mathematics teaching within a school context |
| 2 | demonstrate an understanding of current mathematical knowledge as well the historical development of selected important mathematical concepts |
| 3 | analyse real-world problems through the use of the mathematical concepts and techniques relevant to advanced mathematics. |
| 4 | communicate mathematical ideas, processes and results effectively at different levels of formality, ensuring students develop their literacy and numeracy skills to prepare them for their teaching professions |
