Mathematics Education

​

Wanty completed her Master’s Degree in Mathematics Education in two years, and graduated in 2002. The following is her statement regarding her learning experience at Boston University:



​“Having done my master degree in education at BU School of Education has allowed me to develop the critical thinking and problem solving skills in teaching and learning mathematics. This experience enables me to expand my horizon in teaching and learning mathematics particularly on the importance of developing strategies based on reasoning and understanding not only on formal procedures.  I believe that having young promising Indonesian to experience BU Education will contribute to the improvement of Indonesian Education.”
