AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES The main aim is to focus on some fundamental issues related to the main mathematical areas faced in secondary education and their linkage to the cultural and pedagogical choices a teacher has to face in setting up and developing his didactic activity AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES After addressing these issues (including examining projects for teaching and behavior and materials produced by pupils), we will focus on teaching objectives through organizing and implementing some simple educational proposals TEACHING METHODS The course will intersect exhibit phases and workgroup times. We will put on the net notes, bibliographical references, documentation or suggestions of didactic activities, links to sites, ... also in relation to some specific insights that will be developed taking into account the cultural and educational interests (and the curriculum) of those who will attend the course. SYLLABUS/CONTENT With references to epistemological and historical issues, the relationships between some fields of the mathematics (numerical and algebraic structures, mathematization of the space, algorithms, mathematical analysis, probability), and the problem of setting up their teaching in our days, are discussed: comparison between various ways to introduce and to formalize the concepts, location of "unifying" or “synergical” didactical itineraries, role of computers, relationships between "experiential", "constructive" and "deductive" aspects, relationships with other strongly mathematizated disciplines, etc. RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY Materials and references available from the network will be provided TEACHERS AND EXAM BOARD CARLO EUGENIO DAPUETO Exam Board CARLO EUGENIO DAPUETO (President) ELDA GUALA ELISABETTA ROBOTTI LESSONS LESSONS START The class will start according to the academic calendar.
