EDFD 204: Technologies in Teaching Science and Mathematics explores the use of conventional and emerging technologies to enhance the teaching and learning of science and mathematics. The course covers the selection, evaluation, and integration of technology tools to support inquiry-based learning, differentiated instruction, and assessment, while addressing ethical considerations and future trends. Students also engage in research activities related to technology integration in science and mathematics education.

This course covers the principles and strategies for designing sustainable farming systems or agricultural production characterized by social, political, and economic conditions in the context of global environment.  

This course is designed to deepen their understanding of research methods in the field. The course will cover essential aspects of research design, instrument development, data collection, and analysis, with a focus on practical applications in the context of mathematics education. Students will engage in hands-on activities to develop skills in crafting research instruments, writing research designs, selecting appropriate respondents, locales, and sampling techniques, and simulating data analysis.

Theories, research and issues that pertain to the analysis of gender relations and issues in the home and work environment.

The course exposes the students to varied strategies and approaches in the management of freshwater, estuaries, and coastal and marine environments.  Students are involved in localized casework, the output of which would be an IEC material or other social marketing strategies to enhance communities’ appreciation for the aquatic resources and the need to conserve and manage them properly.

The subject gives students in-depth knowledge regarding socio-cultural, economic and political theories and models on human-environment interactions and how these have evolved to advance the goals of sustainable development.  The course also provides an overview of the various institutional arrangements and processes relating to planning and advocating for the use and management of natural resources. It covers a discussion of relevant international conventions, national policies and legislations, and a case study of local ordinances, specifically analyzing how these were formulated and are implemented.
