OVERVIEW

The Laboratory focuses on the design, implementation and analysis of teaching sequences for the teaching and learning of probability and algebra

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

To present theoretical tools, coming from research in mathematics education, aimed at framing the development of mathematical competences for secondary school, as outlined in National Guidelines. 

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

To promote the development of competences in the design and implementation of teaching and learning activities.

To promote the development of competences in the analysis of teaching and learning processes.

TEACHING METHODS

Laboratory-style sessions, organized around individual work on worksheets and class discussions

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

The Laboratory focuses on two types of teaching and learning activities:

a)first approach and development of probabilistic thinking, as required by the national guidelines, also in connection with statistics and mathematical modeling.

The course will focus on the teaching and learning of statistics and probability, taking into account didactical, historical and epistemological issues.

This part will be taught by prof Guala (3 CFU, 24 hours)

b)first approach and development of algebraic thinking, and its use for problem solving and proving in geometry, in elementary number theory, mathematical modeling. A special attention will be paid to the link between algebraic and natural language in argumentation.

The course will focus on the design, implementation and analysis of teaching and learning activities addressing the first approach to algebra.

This part will be taught by prof Morselli (2 CFU, 16 hours)

EXAM DESCRIPTION

Written exam

ASSESSMENT METHODS

Written report, made up of:

  • Individual review of all the worksheets.
  • Written synthetic self-evaluation of the individual learning path, with a focus on the mathematical and didactical sequences that were acquired.

Two written reports (one for part a, one for part b) will be required.
