In the course LT1053 you will specialise in aspects of teaching and learning pertaining to the didactics of mathematics. The course is divided into the following modules:
- Aspects of the didactic triangle (the subject/pupils/teacher) pertaining to the didactics of mathematics In this module, the focus is on the mathematics subject per se (e.g. how the subject has evolved, different views on knowledge in the subject, the connection (or the lack thereof) to textbooks), pupils' interest, preconditions, etc. in relation to the subject and how these aspects are influenced by teachers' attitudes and background. The concepts of didactic questions and the didactic contract are also brought up.
- The process of teaching mathematics: How can we plan – carry out – evaluate mathematics instruction that promotes pupils' learning? This module is integrated with the two halves of the placement period (plan & carry out; evaluate)
- Assessment of pupils' learning in mathematics.
- How the democracy mission, equality, equal opportunities, sustainable development, digitisation and ethics and other topics (so-called interdisciplinary perspectives) can be integrated in practice in the teaching.
