Introduction
This mathematics academic syllabus for Diploma in secondary Education is a
consolidated version of the 2007 syllabus. It has been improved to develop student
teachers academic ability to handle the ordinary level mathematics syllabus as well as
being able to continue with further education.

Subject description
The mathematics academic syllabus is a two years course. It will be implemented in the
teachers college and is estimated to take 128 hours. It is designed for student teacher
specializing in Mathematics. It aims at preparing teachers who have academic
competence for effective teaching of Basic and Additional Mathematics in the ordinary
level secondary schools.

Rationale for review of the subject syllabus


Mathematics is poorly performed subject at al levels of education in the country.
However its significance in all walks of life leaves much to be desired. Generally the
contents among other things include the mastery of what and how to teach
mathematics. This academic syllabus has been reviewed to addresses the what aspects
where student teachers are prepared to develop sound academic competences in ordinary
level secondary and also to be able to pursue further studies mathematics

Subject goals
The goal of teaching mathematics to prepare student teachers with mathematical
knowledge, skills and attitudes in solving mathematical problems; in which they will be
able to:(a)

master the ordinary level secondary mathematics ready for teaching

(b)

enhance the advanced level secondary mathematics ready for further studies.

Subject Competences to be developed


By the end of the course, the student teacher should have the ability to:
(a)

Interpret and solve Mathematics problems

(b)

Apply mathematics knowledge and skills in other related fields

(c)

Communicate precisely in a mathematical language

(d)

Apply the mathematical knowledge and skills for further studies.

Subject objectives
By the end of the course, the student teacher should be able to:
(a)

Understand basic principles and theories in Mathematics

(b)

(d)

Promote capabilities for studying mathematics in higher education.

Organization of the syllabus


This syllabus has been organized into topics and sub-topics. Each sub-topic consists of:
estimated time, specific objectives, proposed teaching and learning strategies, resources
and assessment procedures. You are strongly advised to use the proposed strategies
resources and assessment in order to achieve the required objectives. A reading list is
included at the end of the syllabus. This list is not exhaustive.
Assessment of the subject
The subject will be assessed as one examination paper. Continuous assessment will
contribute 25% for academic and 25 % for pedagogy. The final examination conducted
by NECTA will contribute 50% making a total mark of 100%. The Block Teaching
Practice (BTP) will be treated as an independent assessment item which carries 100%.
