Course contents
Questions related to teaching and learning of mathematics based on learning outcomes stated in curriculum for primary and secondary school, and on pedagogical theory.
Areas of competence: mathematical, didactical-, social, ethical, management and willingness to change and develop
Practise period in school
Research project related to his or her own practise in school
Learning outcomes
On successful completion of the course, the student should be able to
analyse the curriculum for primary and secondary school, and based on this analysis suggest relevant learning outcomes for mathematics lessons
plan, analyse and evaluate suggestions for lessons in mathematics using knowledge in mathematics and pedagogy
teach mathematics in ways that shows mathematical-, didactical-, social-, ethical- and management competence, and to show a willingness to change and develop as a teacher
formulate a goal that is both realistic and mathematics educationally relevant for å research project which is based on his or her own practise as a mathematics teacher, make observations which are relevant in relation to the goal, search for relevant theory and apply the theory in analysing the data, and discuss the analysis in relation to the goal of the project
