Prerequisites
Mathematical knowledge and compentencies developed in the "laurea triennale" in mathematics.
The course is not recommended for students of the "laurea triennale".
Learning outcomes
The course aims at promoting students' reflection on the mathematics contents usually taught in secondary schools and on the possible teaching modalities, based on the national and international studies in mathematics education research.
Course contents
The course addresses several specific didactical issues related to mathematics teaching and learning at the secondary level. It addresses both issues concerning individual specific mathematics domains, such as: algebra, geometry and calculus, and general didactical issues common to different domains, such as: the use of technology, argumentation and proof, and problem-solving. The issues approached in the course will be chosen according to their relevance from the point of view of both mathematics teaching and mathematics education research. Each topic will be treated through the study of the key educational and epistemolgical aspects. Part of the course takes place in the computer lab to study educational software and their possible didactical use.
Teaching methods
The course is organized in:
* interactive lessons which will aim at presenting and discussing research studies in mathematics education ralated to specifc issues of mathematics teaching and learning at the secondary level. Lessons will include group and problem-solving activities.
* laboratory activities which will aim at analysing the functionality and the didactical potential of some software for mathematics teaching and learning.
Reccomended or required readings
Articles from scientific journals and other materials made available in the course webpages
Assessment methods
The achievement of the learning objectives will be ascertained through an oral examination, which will aim at assess the level of knowledge of the contents of the course (including the knowledge of the software analysed), the ability to re-elaborate these contents and the ability to establish links between them.
