Master of Arts in Curriculum Design Development and Supervision, Major in Mathematics (MACDDS)

Rationale

One of the features of the K to 12 Curriculum is its six-year program in the secondary level. This radical change from a four-year curriculum greatly affects the mathematics learning continuum. Consequently, it requires the current secondary mathematics teachers in the country, the knowledge of advanced topics in the subject, particularly those included in grades 11 and 12.

This program aims to prepare our secondary mathematics teachers, both from NCR and outside NCR, in the full implementation of the K to 12 program.

I. Required Subjects (9 units)Units
MSM 101History & Philosophy of Mathematics Education3
MSM 102Educational Research and Ethical Standards3
MSM 103Advanced Statistics3
II. Major Subjects (21 units)
MS 201Algebra and Trigonometry I3
MS 202High School Geometry From An Advance Viewpoint3
MS 203Algebra and Trigonometry II3
MS 204Math of Investment and Consumer Mathematics3
MS 205Number Theory3
MS 206Calculus3
MS 207Linear Algebra3
III. Cognates (6 units)
MS 208Mathematical Probability3
*MS 209Abstract Algebra3
*MS 210Robotics3

*If the Scholars can afford 45 units, Robotics will just be added. If it must be 42, Abstract Algebra will be removed and Robotics will be used to replace it.

IV. Comprehensive Examination

Upon satisfactory completion of all the required and major courses, the student should formally apply to take a comprehensive examination covering Mathematics Content and Education.

Comprehensive Examinations in Educations at school.

Comprehensive Examinations in Major Subjects at MTAP

V. Thesis (6 units)

The student has to complete a paper on a mathematic topic and present it in the form of a thesis.
