The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Mathematics Education is a 240 ECTS credit program designed to be completed in 8 regular semesters. This program aims to develop students’ competencies in both mathematics and pedagogy, preparing them to teach mathematics at secondary or higher education levels and to engage in educational research.

Students in this program will acquire a deep understanding of mathematical theories and techniques, as well as skills in curriculum design, assessment, and modern teaching methods. Through core mathematics courses and specialized electives, students will strengthen their mathematical foundations, enabling them to effectively communicate complex concepts in accessible ways. 

The curriculum includes a balance of theoretical and applied mathematics courses, alongside pedagogical courses focusing on teaching strategies, classroom management, and inclusive education practices. Non-mathematics electives allow students to broaden their knowledge base, potentially pursuing a minor in related fields, which enhances their competitiveness in the educational sector.

Guided by educational frameworks such as the Bologna Process, the program aligns with international standards and complies with the Republic of Kazakhstan’s academic guidelines, ensuring that students achieve a workload of 1500–1800 hours per academic year. Upon graduation, students will be well-prepared to pursue careers in education or further studies in graduate programs focused on mathematics, mathematics education, or related fields.

1. Demonstrate a deep understanding of mathematical concepts and theories by analyzing, synthesising, and evaluating mathematical information from a variety of sources.
2.  Communicate this understanding effectively to others through clear and concise explanations using appropriate mathematical language and representations.
3. Utilise technology effectively in teaching and learning of mathematics by identifying and selecting appropriate technological tools and resources, applying them in mathematical problem-solving, and evaluating their effectiveness for enhancing student learning.
4. Prepare students for participation in mathematics Olympiads at national and international levels by designing and implementing challenging and authentic problem-solving tasks that develop students’ critical thinking, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation skills.
5. Develop proficiency in Python programming language for mathematical modelling, data analysis, and visualisation by practising coding skills at various levels of complexity, analysing and evaluating algorithms and data structures, and utilising appropriate libraries and frameworks.
6. Apply mathematical concepts and reasoning to solve real-world problems in various fields by analysing and interpreting data, formulating mathematical models, testing hypotheses, and making predictions or recommendations based on mathematical evidence.
7. Demonstrate effective communication skills, both orally and in writing, to explain complex mathematical concepts and theories to different audiences by using appropriate communication strategies, such as summarising, paraphrasing, and elaborating, and by utilising appropriate mathematical language and representations.
8. Design and implement effective mathematics instruction and assessment strategies that promote student learning and achievement by analysing student needs, setting learning objectives, selecting appropriate instructional methods and materials, and utilising formative and summative assessment techniques.
9. Conduct original research in mathematics education using appropriate research methods and tools by formulating research questions, designing research studies, collecting and analysing data, and interpreting and reporting findings using appropriate statistical and qualitative techniques.
10. Collaborate with other educators, researchers, and stakeholders in the field of mathematics education, both nationally and internationally, by sharing knowledge and expertise, participating in professional organisations and conferences, and engaging in professional development activities to promote excellence in mathematics education.
