Course aims

The aim of the course is to introduce software which can be used in teaching mathematics. Also different web-based instruments, interactive tools, and innovative pedagogical scenarios are considered. Creation of readiness for implementation of the corresponding tools in teaching mathematics.

Brief description of the course

During the course, various programs and interactive web- based tools are introduced: GeoGebra graphical calculator and the teacher-oriented environment GeoGebra Classroom, Desmos graphical calculator and the environment Teacher Desmos, H5P interactive quizzes based on https://sisuloome.e-koolikott.ee. These instruments are examined through the lens of different theoretical approaches in the field of didactics of mathematics.

Key topics covered in the course include:
1) Different approaches to mathematics education: conceptual and instrumental.
2) Conceptual mathematics education and the self- regulated learner. Supporting the development of self- regulation.
3) Supporting students in planning, monitoring, and reflecting on their learning.
4) Cognitive engagement through the example of the ICAP model.

Learning outcomes in the course

Upon completing the course the student:
- can use computer programs and web-based tools for teaching mathematics;
- can create various web-based e-learning materials and knows about different options for their storage and sharing in a web-based environment;
- knows the design principles of digital learning materials that support more effective learning and the development of students' self-regulation;
- can evaluate the appropriateness of using the respective instruments and tools.
