The Ph.D. concentration in Mathematics Education is designed to produce leaders in teaching and research in mathematics education. They will be capable of teaching at the university level through calculus and also in at least one of the traditional subdisciplines, as well as at the graduate level in mathematics education.
This concentration has been designed to improve mathematics education in the community and to support disciplines and careers that require a solid foundation in mathematics. UIW's Concentration in Mathematics Education seeks to increase the number of women and minorities in mathematics and related disciplines. The content and pedagogy of mathematics teaching and learning is investigated from kindergarten through college levels with emphasis on the integration of mathematics and science. The courses include experience in leadership, ethics, and insight into national and international roles of leadership in mathematics teaching and learning and the supporting research.
