Learning unit 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 learning unit
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.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program.
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, hybrid learning)
The course is organized in the form of face-to-face modules of 3 hours each, including theoretical course and the follow up of the practical work.
The course is completed by the realization of a practical work and a written report.

Assessment methods and criteria
Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.
Any session :
- In-person
written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire, open-ended questions )
- Remote
written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire, open-ended questions )
- If evaluation in "hybrid"
preferred in-person
Additional information:
Written exams (MCQ + Opend Questions) + Report (practical work)
The report about the practical work (PW) will be account for 20% of the overall score. If this report is missing, the mark for this course will be "0".
Furthermore, any serious deficiency (score < 8) in one of the two parts of the assessment (exam or PW) leads to a serious failure for the entire course.
