Abstract

. The present study was conducted to evaluate the internal efficiency of the undergraduate curriculum of mathematics education at Farhangian University. This is a descriptive-survey study. , 55 mathematical students and 7 faculty members in this field were studied as a statistical sample. The data gathering tool was a questionnaire. Validity (by the method of cluster analysis) and reliability (with a coefficient of 0.82) were confirmed.Data were analyzed using spss software. According to the findings, the intrinsic effectiveness of the curriculum in mathematics education was acceptable from the viewpoint of students and professors of this field, but it was lower than the desirable level of adequacy. In addition, from the perspective of students, the elements of "time", "learning activities" and "goals" are in the best position compared to other elements of mathematics curriculum. While, from the viewpoint of the professors, the elements of "role of the master", "place" and "learning activities" are respectively better than other elements of the curriculum of mathematical education. However, it seems that rethinking and revising the curriculum of the masters' undergraduate degree is important and necessary in order to improve the quality of internal efficiency.
