Learning outcomes

Understanding of the fundamentals of mathematics didactics and awareness of their stakes in the teaching of mathematics. Reinvestment of these notions through observations of class sessions and situation scenarios.

Objectives

To bring out the initial conceptions of future teachers in relation to the teaching of mathematics. To move these views towards a position consistent with research findings and the legal requirements for compulsory education.

Content
