This module, as it is intended to develop competent teachers, presents the main theoretical information pertained to Biology and Chemistry teaching and learning. Among them, there are those related to history and nature of science. Also, why it is important to teach and learn science including Biology and Chemistry as ones of science subjects is discussed. Additionally, what and how to implement those subjects, resources to be used in the implementation, planning for teaching and learning, assessing for and of learning. Moreover, by this module, participants will enhance their teaching experience by putting into actions their lesson materials and then get constructive feedback from their colleagues and other observers through micro-teaching activities.
Manual Information processing has certain limitations whereas computerized databases and software can increase productivity. This module addresses advanced issues in relational database design and Internet programming. It is aimed to help students to analyse the real life problems and explore the possibilities how a computerised system can help in solving the problems. This module will also cover Programming in Visual Basic, html, Javascript, and CSS.
Computer Networks not only provides information and resource sharing but also expedite communication between hosts. This module is aimed to provide adequate knowledge regarding computer networks and security issues. Through this module, students will learn how to secure computer systems, networks, and data from unauthorized or accidental access, modification, and denial of service.
This course introduces you to two branches of chemistry called electrochemistry and analytical chemistry.Electrochemistry is the study of exchange of electrical and chemical energy and has important applications in every life from the battery that powers your portable radios to electrorefining that produces the copper pipes carrying your drinking water. Those electrochemical processes utilize oxidation and reduction reactions.
Analytical chemistry is a branch of chemistry of making qualitative and quantitative analysis.This topic deals with analysis of materials delivered to laboratory by a customer.The material may be an unknown material to be identified and probably quantified.Carrying either of the two involves many steps which are outlined in this course. Analytical chemistry requires a broad background knowledge of chemical and physical concepts.
In this course we will start by presenting the general information on the aqueous solutions then the redox reactions, electrochemical cells,electolysis and corrosion phenomena. Analytical chemistry will start with topic 5 Which is the role of analytical chemistry and will continue with other topics including, analytical methodologies, theory of acid and base, stoichiometry and molar concept,buffer solution, salt hydrolysis,solubility products and some traditional methods of chemical analysis.
Welcome.
This course introduces you to two equilibria,chemical equilibrium and phase equilibrium.
This module focuses on diseases and their treatment and prevention. The content will include the pathogenic microorganisms and infectious diseases, social factors affecting good health,sexual education, immunity , and immunization
This module is intended to give a broad overview of human biology. Contents include human life maintenance and coordination systems, diets and nutritional disorders, reproduction and birth control methods. In addition, students will be introduced to ecological concepts and functioning of ecosystems. Strategies of teaching and learning will be highlighted.
The purpose of this module is to equip diploma student-teachers from Physics and Computer science combination (PCsE) with the competence and confidence to help them to develop skills, attitudes and values to successfully implement the Physics and Computer science competence-based curriculum (CBC) at O’ level of secondary schools.

This module deals with basic concepts in modern physics. The module introduces the elementary concepts of quantum mechanics, nuclear physics, crystal structure, basic electronics and teaching strategies for modern physics.
Electromagnetism is the module taught for level II students in MPE, PCE and PGE Combinations in Mathematics, Science and Physical Education Department at UR-College of Education, School of Education. This module has 10 credits unit and is taught in semester one of every academic year.This course introduces the basic concepts and principles of electrostatics, magnetostatics, Maxwell Equations, propagation of electromagnetic waves, and their applications. The main aim of the module is to allow the students to explain electromagnetic phenomena, solve problems and perform experiments related to electromagnetism.
Welcome to this course MAT2143: Multilinear algebra and Analytic Geometry.It is a course prepared for Year2 students in Diploma Program with subject combinations: MCE,MPE,MBE and MCsE
This course is split into two parts. The first part is related to algebra and is focused on multilinear algebra for which the main emphasis is done on bilinear and quadratic forms. The second part is related to Geometry and deals with the analytic geometry of quadrics in 2D and 3D affine Euclidean space.These two parts are strongly connected and illustrate the interplay between algebra and geometry.The classification of quadrics is made easily by techniques of multilinear algebra.
Statistics is a science that deals with collecting, organising, summarising, presenting, analysing data. Statistics can be divided into two branches: Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics.
- Descriptive statistics consists of techniques involving collecting, tabulating, presenting and summarising information in clear and the effective ways in order to describe the set of data.
- Inferential statistics involves the techniques of analysing sample results to draw conclusion about the population.
In this module we will loak the descriptive statistics, the counting techniques, the concepts of sample space, events, the probability of an event, and the axioms of probability. We will also look at the concepts of random variables and we will give some examples of discrete and continuous random variables.

This module is about specific teaching methods for Mathematics and Chemistry. It will expose you to the history and nature of Mathematics and Science (Chemistry), philosophical foundations of Mathematics and Science education, Methods used to teach and learn those subjects, resources used to teach and learn Mathematics and Biology. Further, the curriculum to be implemented in schools will be explored and be implemented in micro-teaching or by analyzing the video-recorded lessons.
