Course contents :
|
| Several themes are developed in this course:
- The role of problems in teaching and learning mathematics
- Problem-solving: a complex mathematical modeling approach
- The regulation of the learnings
- The external assessments in mathematics
- The first numerical learnings
- Symbolization and communication in mathematical learning
- Proportionality, fractions, decimals and percentages
- Transition from elementary school to secondary school in mathematics
- Students with learning difficulties |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| Students will understand the underlying theoretical foundations of the different themes and better understand some aspects of the cognitive development of pupils towards mathematics learning to :
- identify issues related to the learning of basic mathematical concepts;
- (better) interpret errors, difficulties and informal strategies of students
- take a critical look at different teaching and learning activities;
- develop didactical designs for the development of specific knowledge and skills;
- assess learning achieved by students in various didactical designs |

|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| The methodology will consist of alternating theoretical presentations, analyses of student productions and analyses of teaching / learning activities. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| The course is organized in the form of 15 face-to-face modules of 3 hours each.
The course is completed by the realization of a practical work and a written report. |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| A reading folder corresponding to the different themes developed in the course will be available. |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| Written exams.
The report about the practical work will be account for 20% of the overall score. If this report is missing, the mark for this course will be "0". |
|
Work placement(s) :
|
| The students who follow the option "Formation pédagogique approfondie pour l'enseignement fondamental et secondaire inférieur"must complete the work experience YSTG9019-1 during the same academic year that they attend the courses "l'enseignement / apprentissage des mathématiques". |
