Course Notes This course is designed to provide an understanding of the importance of mathematics teaching in the planned education process and to help you as a pre-service teacher to shape your understanding of mathematics education. In this course, pre-service teachers are expected to understand mathematics teaching and internalize the roles of teacher, student and school. Candidates are required to read the relevant resources, do research and design activities for teaching mathematics in primary school by using critical thinking and creative thinking skills. Evaluation of the course will be done by midterm exam, assignments, micro-teaching and final exam, project assignment.
