Course content

In this course students will work on topics within mathematics education and pure mathematic, topics that will be important for teachers in Year 5-10. A special emphasis will be placed on probability and statistics, including theorizing in combinatorics, calculating probabilities and reasoning with statistics. Students will also gain knowledge related to research in mathematics education and theories and methods relevant to research in mathematics education.

Learning outcome

KNOWLEDGE

The student

  • is familiar of quantitative and qualitative methods relevant to research in mathematics education
  • has knowledge in combinatorics and probabilities
  • has knowledge in stochastic variables and different probability distributions, in particular binomial, hypergeometric and normal distributions.
  • has knowledge of estimation and hypothesis testing
  • has knowledge about regression analysis
  • has knowledge about digital tools, including programming, for statistics and probability calculations
  • has knowledge of the historical development of statistics and probabilites
  • has knowledge of research in mathematics education relecant to developing teacher knowledge in mathematics and pupils' learning in primary and seconday school

SKILLS

The student

  • can use a selection of teaching methods based on theory and experiences, leading to choices of assessments, tasks and activities.
  • can use quantitaive and qualitative research methods to conduct investigations in mathematics education
  • can facilitate practical and theoretical work in stochastics, including the use of programming and other digital tools
  • can perform simple statistic experiments

GENERAL COMPETENCE

The student

  • can participate and contribute to research projects and other collaborative projects aiming to improve mathematics education

Learning methods and activities

During the course there will be lectures, individual and group task assignments, discussions, and presentations. Inquiry based education is meant to facilitate students independence, analytical skills, and critical reflection.

Compulsory assignments

  • Obligatory course work according to course description

Further on evaluation

Mandatory activity:
