 Module Introduction (1 hrs)

The basis for the change of the secondary school Math curricula
was based :

 on MoE National Assessment of the study done by the Cambridge

international (2019).

 Roadmap
 Cont’d….
The study figured out major drawbacks in Math Education:
lack of relevance of contents;
Occurrence of difficult & overloaded contents in the text book;
Absence of interactive learner-centered methodologies;
 Absence of proper implementation of continuous assessment
lack of elements of 21st century skills like:
 collaboration have been affecting students’ performance,
 interest towards the subject, and
 the quality of education in general.
 Cont’d…
 After discussing the strengths & weaknesses of the existing Math curriculum.
 The new Ethiopian general education Math curriculum is developed.
 Secondary education learning themes were designed for all grades (grades 9-12)
 Math for social science as well as natural science was merged together for G-11 & 12;
 Periods for each unit is given;
 CFC formulated;
 MLC for each title is developed;
 Learning strategies & evaluation techniques suggested.
 Finally, after these preliminary activities, both the ST and TG are developed.

 Cont’d….
 The students’ textbook is “unitized,”
 divided into respective lessons with the principle of “one lesson, one topic”
 each one lesson is basically composed of 4 components:
 ADEE, or DEE or EE
 The trainees are advised to follow the 4 components of each lesson.
 provide the required assistance to the students regularly.

 Thus, this training module can be considered as part of the TPD

 developed based on national survey conducted by MoE & collected

information from secondary school teachers that

 they have difficulty to teach math content at each grade level from grade 9-12.

 Summery
 Purpose of the module
 Content & pedagogical knowledge to trainees based on new
math curriculum.

 Provide trainees with opportunities to:

o explore their own values, attitudes & knowledge regarding the
new math curricula;

o use the knowledge & skills acquired during training to promote

appropriate CU of math.
 Pedagogical Approaches

 Active & participatory ……..used throughout the module.

 Activities are mainly experiential in nature, &

 trainees are required to actively engage as participants in all of the

lessons.
