Marguerite Gilot
Language(s) of instruction :
French language
Organisation and examination :

Units courses prerequisite and corequisite :
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Course contents :
The course operates within a normative perspective. The point is not to "adopt" or "reject" particular methods of teaching a given mathematical theory from the possibilities described and analysed through didactics. The primary goal is that students will be able to:
* master the concepts of didactics in order to carry out didactic and epistemological analysis of teaching devices;
* question the mathematical facts and develop didactic transpositional skills.
These skills should be sufficiently mastered to promote reflection towards using them during work placements and an openness of attitude which can be applied to many aspects of teaching.
Learning outcomes of the course :
In terms of CAPAES students, the methods and objectives are adapted each year to the number of students.
