CourseSyllabs - Research in Mathematics
Course Description:
The course aims to prepare prospective mathematics teachers to undertake an undergraduate research project. It entails exposure to various theories and trends in Mathematics
education and research culled from actual action research projects. It gives students the opportunity to conduct research that address problems, issues, and concerns in mathematics
teaching and learning showcasing research skills, knowledge of research ethical standards, as well as mathematical content and processes.
A. Demonstrate analytical skills in critiquing reported action research with respect to research processes and teaching and learning issues and trends embedded therein;
B. Show insightful understanding of the role of research in improving mathematics education by evaluating and reflecting current learning and teaching practices/issues in the
Philippines and conceptualizing relevant research project;

C. Show competence in the application of research skills and ethical standards in carrying out an action research project intended to improve teaching and learning mathematics;
D. Use ICT tools and basic principles of oral presentation in communicating action research results.

Page 12 of 14
Policies on Absences and Tardiness:
According to CHED policy, the total number of absences by the students should not be more than 20% of the total number of meetings or 7 Hours for a two-unit-
course. Students incurring more than 7 hours of unexcused absences automatically get a failing grade regardless of class standing. This policy is applicable only for
residential (face-to-face) mode of instruction delivery.
Language of Instruction:
The language of Instruction is English. Students are expected to use English in their outputs and reports.
For students with zero internet connectivity, communications will be via phone and submissions will be through Mail or Drop Box.
Special/Make-Up Quiz/Examinations/Work:
Make-Up on the examination will be given to students with valid reasons. Students are allowed to inform the subject professor for rescheduling of exam two (2)
days prior to the schedule. No show or response will be considered as forfeited and will obtain a failing mark. A written letter signed by the parents and/or guardian is
needed to reconvene such examination.
