Course aims
Based on studies in didactics of mathematics, provide an overview of the intersection between educational technology and didactics, introducing students to software and interactive web-based tools used in mathematics education. Develop readiness for the implementation of such tools in mathematics education.
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.
