Course contents :
|
||||||||||||||
| Part 1 is focused on problem solving in mathematics.
Several themes are developed including the role of problems in teaching and learning mathematics, teachers' beliefs, students' difficulties, the features of problem solving for learners from 5 to 14 years old, the importance of problems solving in the external assessments in mathematics (CEB / CE1D, PISA, ...),... |

|
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 problem solving ; - (better) interpret errors, difficulties and informal strategies of students - take a critical look at different teaching and learning activities and at different systems of assessment of knowledge and competencies in mathematics. |

|
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 face-to-face modules of 3 hours each, including theoretical courses and the follow up of the practical work.
A schedule will be provided to students during the first lesson. 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 :
|
||||||||||||||
