EDUC7101 PRINCIPLES OF CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION
This course aims to provide an overview on the principles and theories of curriculum and instruction. The introduction of these theories and principles provides learners a broad perspective on the basic curriculum questions regarding the foundations of purposes, content, design, and structure of educational programmes as well as learning and teaching theories and the relationship between the two.
Pre-requisite: None
EDUC7103 EVALUATION OF CURRICULUM, INSTRUCTION, AND STUDENT PERFORMANCE
This course seeks to equip learners with strategies and techniques used in the evaluation of curriculum programmes, instruction, and student performance. The assumptions, strengths, and weaknesses associated with various strategies will be critically analyzed. Learners work through evaluation problems related to particular curriculum programmes and instructional techniques; and develop assessment tools appropriate to their teaching assignments. Special attention is given to authentic assessment, performance assessment, portfolios, self-evaluation, and cooperative assessment.
Pre-requisite: None
EDUC7001 RESEARCH METHODS IN EDUCATION
This course aims at developing in students an understanding of quantitative and qualitative methods of collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data in educational research. Quantitative topics include application of statistical concepts / procedures, graphs, numerical summaries; normal distribution, correlation/regression analyses, probability, statistical inferences for one or two samples, hypothesis tests, chi-square tests, and factor analysis. Qualitative topics include data analyses in case studies, observations, and ethnography studies.
Pre-requisite: None
EDUC7174 STUDIES ON MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM
The course aims to provide students with a critical study of current issues, trends, and the design and evaluation of mathematics curriculum. Topics will include: historical development of mathematics curriculum, principles and theories of mathematics development, patterns of mathematics curriculum development, alignment of mathematics curricula with standards, and analyses and comparisons of mathematics curricula. Special attention will be put on the practice of implementing the current mathematics curricula and teaching materials in Macau and China for the teaching tracks. The current research tendency of mathematics curriculum in international literatures will also be involved, for example, some advanced mathematics topics and mathematics projects.
Pre-requisite: None
EDUC7175 THEORIES OF MATHEMATICS TEACHING AND LEARNING
This course aims to provide students with concepts, theories, and principles of mathematics teaching, which are necessary for their teaching practice and further studies. Attention will be paid to the key ideas in four mathematics content areas (i.e., number and operations, algebra, geometry, and data analysis and probability) at both elementary and secondary levels, effective teaching strategies for implementing student-centered, content-based and technology-enhanced instruction. Lesson studies and exemplary teaching designs will also be emphasized.
Pre-requisite: None
EDUC7176 THE EVALUATION OF MATHEMATICS TEACHING AND LEARNING
This course aims to equip students with the concepts, theories, and practical skills of conducting evaluations on mathematics teaching and learning. Topics will include: assessment and evaluation in mathematics teaching, theoretical assumptions of evaluation in mathematics teaching and learning, various evaluation techniques in mathematics teaching and learning, mathematics curriculum reform and evaluation, mathematics teacher development and evaluation. Emphases will be put on authentic assessment including discourse and performance assessment in mathematics classrooms. The large scale evaluation programmes, such as TIMSS, PISA, will be also covered.
Pre-requisite: None
EDUC7177 PREPARATION AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF MATHEMATICS TEACHERS
This course is about the concepts, theories and practice of mathematics teacher development with the purpose of laying a foundation for students’ teaching practice and further studies.

EDUC7051 QUALITATIVE RESEARCH IN EDUCATION
This is the intermediate master’s level course on qualitative method. Students will learn two central issues in qualitative research: 1) design and implement a scientifically valid qualitative study; 2) Analyzing qualitative data. This course will expose students to different paradigms in qualitative research including but not limited to: ethnography, grounded theory, participatory action research, and case study. The purpose of this course is to provide working knowledge to students to conduct qualitative study using various qualitative methods, as well as helping students to understand their limitation.
Pre-requisite: Research Methods in Education
EDUC7052 QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH IN EDUCATION
This is the intermediate master’s level course on quantitative method. Students will have the opportunity to learn a variety of statistical methods. The primary methods to be introduced will include: multiple regression, factor analysis, principal component analysis, analysis of variance and covariance. Other advanced statistical technic such as multilevel models, structural equation models, and causal inference models will be introduced. The purpose of this course is to lay the foundation for quantitative analysis of education issues. Practical issues such as analyzing quantitate data with statistical tools will be covered to provide hands-on experience to students.
Pre-requisite: Research Method s in Education
EDUC7053 ACTION RESEARCH
This course aims to help learners understand the fundamental concepts and ideas of action research, and the method of constructing action research design.
