Course/Module description:
How to develop in the students a perception of mathematics as a human activity, as a system connected and anchored in reality and not an arbitrary collection of rules?
How do you make room for innovation in teaching traditional topics?
How are the pedagogical plans implemented in the reality of a classroom?
The course gives students the opportunity to deal with these issues, to plan, implement and reflect on a teaching unit of mathematics.
Course/Module aims:
The course uncovers novel didactic techniques promoting learning and teaching in the mathematics classroom
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
Students will become familiar with and experience various teaching and learning methods for mathematical subjects in various contexts.
Students will use different approaches to design instructional units (including lesson plans and lesson plays)
Students will solve typical problems in various subjects, emphasizing possible ways of teaching.
Students will be exposed to learning processes of mathematical concepts according to the curriculum continuum.
Students will become familiar with the secondary school curriculum and a variety of textbooks.
