Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review
About the first to the eighth class, you should collect and read theoretical and practical earlier studies in the methodology of Mathematics education sufficiently.
About the ninth to the 13th class, you should make the meaning of your study clear and conduct a theoretical study in line with your study theme.
About the 14th to the 15th class, you should make preparations so that you can make a presentation on the result in the first half tem in an academic meeting of Mathematics education and send your dissertation to academic journals. 
Requirements I limit attendees to the students majoring in the field of Mathematics Education in the Doctoral Course in  Division of Educational Sciences Educational Design for Teacher Educators Program. 
Grading Method I will evaluate your result on presentation and debate (50%) and reports on subject (50%).
