Course Summary
The objective of this on-line lecture is to develop Mathematics Knowledge for Teachingwith components of Pedagogical Content Knowledge and Subject Matter Knowledge for allschool levels by using materials for elementary school mathematics up to the 3rd grades. It isprovided under the principle to develop mathematical thinking as a higher order thinking
which enable students who learn mathematics by and for themselves by using the Japanese
Problem Solving Approach with referring Gakko Tosho Textbooks which are used inIndonesia and Thailand.
Every class is provided the following questions to participants: How do you teach and why?
ʻHow?ʼ is the pedagogical question to replying the ʻWhy?ʼ which is answered through thelearning of Pedagogical Content Knowledge and Subject Matter Knowledge. For secondary
school teachers, it is an opportunity to know how their teaching materials are aligned andwell-related with elementary school mathematics. Even through the lecture provide the simple
and joyful ideas for mathematical knowledge for teaching at elementary school level teachers,
the math educators, mathematicians and teacher trainers are also provided the opportunity toreconsider how we should reform our teacher education program.
Couse Content, Registration and Certifications
It is a free program for SEAMEO priority areas #5 for ʻRevitalizing Teacher Educationʼ
and #7 for ʻAdopting 21st Century Curriculumʼ. CRICED, University of Tsukuba, Japan,provides the certifications to participants depending on the completion of ordered stages.
At the end of each lesson we ask participants a short question for knowing how the lesson
worked and send the URL for every class. Answered participants will receive the notice fornext class URL. This feedback from participants is used for evaluation of the program itself,and also, it is used for the attendance confirmation but not as evaluation of participants.

Course Roadmap

Every class will be 20-30 minutes: Wednesday and Saturday Evening from 24 March 2021.
Participants will be able to attend each lesson until next lesson on the roadmap, sequentially.
Application form (Deadline 21 March 2021): https://forms.gle/CGCch1BEdXNngcrU9Every lesson uses the learned knowledge from the previous lesson. Thus, sequential participations
are necessary. CRICED will provide the following certifications to the participants.
Certification for Stage 1: Completed up to Topic 3 (Lesson 7)
Certification for Stage 2: Completed up to Topic 4 (Lesson 13)
Certification for Stage 3: Completed up to Topic 5 (Lesson 17)
Complete Certification of the course: Completed up to Topic 7 (Lesson 20)
Materials:
Major materials such as power-point files will be provided for the registered participants.
