Program Design
Participation in a doctoral program is not synonymous with participation in doctoral course work. A program is greater than the sum of its course work. It includes, among other things, participation in a scholarly community and collaboration with peers. In addition, a program carries with it an implicit understanding that its graduates will have both a broad and a deep understanding of the canon of knowledge and practices that make up our field.
As such, there is also a set of non-course expectations for completion of our program. They are: Book Club, the Mathematics Education Doctoral Students Conference (MEDS-C), and informal Student Gatherings.
EDUC 905-5 FIELDWORK IV
See your supervisor for more information.
EDUC 941-5 MATHEMATICAL LEARNING AND THINKING: HISTORICAL, PHILOSOPHICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL DIMENSIONS
Focuses on motivations and rationales guiding seminal thinkers in the historical development of mathematical thinking, mathematical cognition and learning, with an eye toward foundational issues in contemporary educational research, theory and practice.
EDUC 942-5 CONTEMPORARY THEORIES AND METHODOLOGIES IN MATHEMATICS EDUCATION
Contemporary theories and methodologies in mathematics education will be examined and analysed. Developing an overview of mathematics education as an evolving research domain will be focal.
EDUC 946-5 DOCTORAL SEMINAR IN MATHEMATICS EDUCATION
This seminar is designed to extend and deepen students' understanding of the discipline of mathematics education. It will examine international developments, research programs, special interest groups, recent theories in learning and teaching mathematics, and issues in mathematics teacher education. Prerequisite: EDUC 942.
EDUC 983-5 COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATION
The examination is graded on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis.
Normally, the comprehensive examination is completed in the term in which course requirements are completed, or the term immediately following.
EDUC 899-15* DOCTORAL THESIS
A major part of this program is original research. A thesis describing this is submitted and defended. Normally, before the fourth course a thesis research plan is presented to the supervisory committee. Upon entry to the program, every term students enroll in EDUC 899-15 Doctoral Thesis.
*Effective January 1, 2018, the unit value of EDUC 899 increased to 15 units from 10 units.

Dr. Sheree Rodney has had a passion for school and teaching since childhood. However, her interest in mathematics education became apparent while pursuing teacher training studies. At the time, there were very few teacher candidates with an interest in mathematics. She saw that as a gap and an opportunity to make a difference.

"My experiences as a graduate student transformed my teaching, and wanting to learn more, I decided to pursue doctoral studies in mathematics education. "
