The Mathematics and Mathematics Education Laboratory is aimed at providing further operational tools for 'teaching mathematics in primary and early childhood, deepening the objectives of the course which it therefore shares in an application key.
With the Mathematics and Mathematics Education Laboratory, the student will be able to achieve and deepen the following educational objectives in an operational way.
- Knowledge and understanding
- Knowledge of elementary mathematics as a subject in pre-school and primary school, including mathematical concepts as well as historical and epistemological aspects.
- Understanding of main issues in mathematics primary education
- Applying knowledge and understanding
- Ability to project and guide math activities in the classroom with children
- Making judgements …
- Ability to analyse the educational situations regarding mathematics teaching and children's learning of mathematics
- Communication skills …
- Ability to develop and lead math talk with children, to present examples and problems
- Learning skills
- Openness to further study in depth of elementary mathematics topics, historical and philosophical research, and the evolution of goals and methods of mathematics education in the international scene.
