Mathematics for Education“Whatever you teach, make sure that it is clear truth.” (Comenius) |
The objective of the study is especially the preparation for the master track of teacher training for mathematics teachers. In the part of the studies common for mathematics and the other subject, the students receive training in psychology, pedagogy, and general didactics. The graduates are thus sufficiently qualified to become teaching assistants.
After successfully completing his/her studies the graduate is able to:
- Develop and in practice apply the basic professional competences of a mathematics teacher.
- Enrich and improve their theoretical knowledge in mathematical analysis, algebra, geometry, discrete mathematics and probability theory during the follow-up master degree programme
- Develop their theoretical knowledge and apply them in practice.
- Transform their mathematical knowledge didactically into the elementary school teaching of mathematics
- Develop further the theoretical knowledge in mathematical disciplines through self-study and through courses for further education of teachers.
- Continue in the doctoral studies in pedagogy with the focus on mathematics teaching at elementary schools.
- Fruitfully use the acquired knowledge in the common pedagogical disciplines(pedagogy and psychology) when working as a warden in a hall of residence or after school clubs
- Communicate in a foreign language on a basic level and thus contribute to the international character of education.
The mathematical part of the study plan includes findings and competences in mathematics with regard to their development and mediation. In the mathematical part, the output of the teaching is consolidated and structured knowledge and competences in mathematical disciplines: algebra, geometry, mathematical analysis, discrete mathematics, and probability theory. The extent of the teaching content is adapted to the number of classes determined for Bachelor's studies, which is on average seven lessons per week. The students use the methods of individual disciplines with understanding.
The didactics of the subject is devoted to the development of didactic knowledge about the content, which enables the graduate to think about the content from the point of view of mathematics itself as well as its mediation in the context of school teaching as well as after school and leisure activities. The gained knowledge forms a theoretical basis in the preparation of future teachers and is necessary for the ability to didactically transform the subject matter.
- Mathematics including didactics.
- The other subject including didactics.
- Bachelor's thesis defense.
- Elements of psychology and pedagogy for Bachelor's level.
The themes and questions for the state examination in mathematics and didactics belong to the elementary mathematical disciplines and the introduction to the didactics of mathematics. This part of the exam is only oral. In the didactics of mathematics part, each student will draw one task from school mathematics and will analyse it didactically. In mathematics, each student will draw a question from each of the following areas: mathematical analysis, algebra, geometry, combinatorics, and probability theory.
