Teaching in a specialist area
INTRODUCTIONEducation and training is defined as the significant process which facilitate the learning.These approaches also helps individuals to acquire skills, knowledge, value, habits as well asbelief. Education and learning plays a vital role in the professional and personal developmentand thus strict emphasis must be given to the learning and teaching process. For meeting theneeds of learner it is also required for the educators to address the curriculum issues andprinciples of inclusive teaching (Ahmed Hersi, Horan and Lewis, 2016). The report will discussthe teaching and leaning approaches in the specialised area of mathematics teaching. It willexplain the philosophies and learning programs associated with the teaching in the proposedspecialised area. The study will also evaluate the skills and approaches for addressing variousissues in learning so that quality teaching and learning can be promoted. TASK 11.1 Aims of training and education in mathematical teaching Mathematics is not only limited to classrooms instead it has an integral and dominatingrole in daily life applications as well. Thus, the aim of providing education and training is tomake students capable to understand the usefulness and application of maths in real life situation.The training programs also helps learners to enhance their problem solving capabilities bydeveloping persistence and patience. Another aim of educating maths is to develop anunderstanding of reasoning, real life calculative problems, logical and critical thinking as well asinternational dimension of the subject (McLeskey, Rosenberg and Westling, 2017). Since thesubject plays a great role in everyday transaction it is vital to understand its concepts and theoriesso that skills and knowledge can be enhanced. 1.2 Philosophical issues related to education and training It has been assumed by many groups that maths is cumulative and is not affected bysocial development beyond historical growth while others may believe that cultural limitationsinfluence the absoluteness and universality of the mathematics. Leading to this one of the majorissue with the maths teaching and learning is that most of the learners all over the world are notable to apply subject with emerging developments in technology, science and other knowledgerelated areas. The perception of the individuals towards maths has not been uniform and attitudetowards maths (Orr and et.al., 2019). The perspective of the learners also depends upon the level1
of understanding, concepts of mathematics and the efficiency of teachers in providing education.The different individuals can use various practices and activities related to maths and thus thecomplexity of the subject may vary on the basis of teaching practices as well as learner abilities. TASK 22.1 Key qualification aims and structure Maths teaching consist of general mathematics as well as courses of geometry, calculusand algebra. For maths teaching a bachelor's degree in maths or teacher certification courses arerequired. The teachers may also require supervising extra curricular activities or academiccounselling to the students. For keeping the skills updated maths teachers also participate inconferences so that advanced maths skills can be learned. The most appropriate structure tobecome a teacher is to supplement bachelor's degree with the teacher preparation. The master'sdegree in maths is also helpful to gain the knowledge of advanced maths (Barrow and Annesley,2018). The aim of the teachers is to deliver their mathematical knowledge and skill to thestudents so that critical thinking and mathematical approaches can be promoted to the students. 2.2 Structure of learning programs The learning programs designed for the maths teaching aims at assuring the betterunderstanding and learning of mathematical concepts. The learning programs are designed insuch a way that it meet the needs of both average and excellent learner (O'Reilly and et.al.,2018). The teaching involves various methods such as visuals, formative assessments, strategicthinking and demonstration and solution of the practical problems. To enhance the effectivenessin my learning program I also used to include real world scenarios so that story telling anddifferentiate learning can be used to establish connections with the concept. The learning plan isdeveloped in extremely organised way so that all students can become part of the plan. In orderto enhance the effectiveness of the learning programs teaching methods must have innovations.For instance the use of digital boards or online quiz can motivate students to focus on learning. 2.3 Planning approach for the learning program delivery The learning programs can achieve the desired goals only when appropriate deliveryplans and approaches are evaluated (Smith, Dyer and Richardson, 2019) . For instance beforeselecting the delivery mode of the learning programs teachers I used to interact and discuss withthe students. In the normal communication I try to develop interest and curiosity among studentsregarding the subject topic. In this way when I deliver the knowledge I am well aware with the2
