HE Mathematics Curriculum Summit
|
A report the outlining the debate, talks and discussions, with recommendations of current priorities for curriculum development in mathematical sciences resulting from the HE Mathematics Curriculum Summit held in January 2011. |
| Developing graduate skills in HE mathematics programmes: Case studies of successful practice |
A series of short case studies providing examples of ways in which specific graduate skills have been successfully developed through curricular initiatives. |
| Further work developing graduate skills in HE mathematics programmes |
A further series of short case studies on approaches to developing graduate skills within the mathematical sciences. |
| Graduates’ views on the undergraduate mathematics curriculum |
Report of a survey to understand graduates’ perspectives on the undergraduate mathematics curriculum. The survey was undertaken by Loughborough University. |
| Employer engagement in undergraduate mathematics |
Short case studies describing work focused upon developing graduate and employability skills by involving employers in the curriculum. |
| Student-centred approaches in mathematics |
Case studies describing work in the areas of student support, transition to university, retention and inclusive curricula, all from a ‘student-centred’ perspective. |
| Good practice on inclusive curricula in the mathematical sciences |
Reports from academic staff, professional support staff, disability researchers and students on specific accessibility challenges in the mathematical sciences beyond those usually considered in generic good practice advice and guidance. |
| Maths Arcade: Stretching and supporting mathematical thinking |
A guide to setting up and running Maths Arcades, an innovative support initiative, along with case studies of their implementation at several universities. |
| Being a professional mathematician |
Resources to encourage students’ awareness of what it means to be a ‘professional mathematician’ along with guidance as to how these ideas might be embedded within the undergraduate curriculum. |
| History of mathematics in the higher education curriculum |
A guide to using history of mathematics within various contexts in higher education with a particular emphasis upon a mechanism to engage students with the subject. |
| Media enhanced teaching and learning |
Case studies and evidence of the use of using recordings in teaching, learning and assessment and their impact upon student learning. |
| Mapping university mathematics assessment practices |
A comprehensive report of a survey, along with a number of supporting case studies of current practice, exploring the potential for using alternative forms of assessment within the mathematical sciences. |
| Teaching problem-solving in undergraduate mathematics |
A good practice guide, which contains a number of very usable problems, on developing, teaching and assessing problem solving. |
| A pilot for a shared on-line statistics advisory service |
A report of a pilot initiative to offer statistics support to students at several universities via a shared online service. |
| Industrial problem solving for higher education |
An Industrial Problem Solving for Higher Education (IPSHE) wiki, developed by the Department of Engineering Mathematics at the University of Bristol which maintains a list of case studies from real, recent industrial and scientific research problems serving as a basis for group projects at all levels of undergraduate study. |
