Learning outcomes

The course aims to analyze problems in mathematics teaching from a general point of view, but also going deeper in some specific themes. The components of the “indicazioni nazionali” will be examined and traditional and alternative methods for teaching will be illustrated.

The workshop aims to furnish the main theoretical and methodological elements for planning and analyzing laboratory sessions in secondary school classes.

The course will provide

• critical analysis of the main methodologies for teaching developed in the research on didactics of mathematics, also with reference to the specific role of the teacher and to the conceptual, epystemologic, linguistic and didactic nodes in mathematics teaching.

• design and development of mathematics teaching methodologies; illustration of principles and methods for building learning activities and a curriculum consistent with the objectives stated in the national indications for liceo and in the guidelines for technical and professional schools;

• study of the teaching and learning processes of mathematics, with particular attention to the new technologies; analysis of the potential and of the critical aspects connected with the usage of technologies;

• main theoretical frames developed in didactics of mathematics for teaching activities centered on the usage of new technologies along with an analysis of learning through them.


At the end of the course the students will be at hand with various didactic techniques for different theoretical topics.

Knowledge and understanding: the students will know relevant didactic aspects of mathematics and will be able to examine textbooks with consciousness.

Applying knowledge and understanding: the students will be able to organize didactic experiences and to apply the techniques they learned in different situations.

Making judgements: the students will be able to choose among various techniques the one more apt to the topic at hand.

Communication skills: the students will be able to properly deliver a lecture.

Learning skills: the students will be able to widen their knowledge starting from what they learned."

Program

Mathematics laboratory for constructing mathematical meanings
Mathematics laboratory: historical and pedagogical roots.
Mathematics laboratory in the Italians standards for mathematics.
Theoretical frameworks for the mathematics laboratory: instrumental approach, theory of semiotic mediation, multimodal approach.
Students' processes in mathematics laboratory: exploring, conjecturing, argumentations and proving.
Teacher's processes in mathematics laboratory.
Didactical analysis of teaching experiments with physical artifacts as the mathematical machines (for geometrical transformations, conics sections and perspective drawing) and digital artifacts as dynamic geometry software (DGS).

Examination Methods

The examination consists in an oral interview about the planning of a teaching experience.

Criteri di valutazione:

• Knowledge and understanding: understanding of the chosen topic and knowledge of didactic techniques.

• Applying knowledge and understanding: ability to apply didactic techniques to a new topic.

• Making judgements: ability to synthesize from various sources.

• Communication skills: language clarity and appropriateness.

• Learning skills: ability to read texts chosen in autonomy

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

News for students

There you will find information, resources and services useful during your time at the University (Student’s exam record, your study plan on ESSE3, Distance Learning courses, university email account, office forms, administrative procedures, etc.). You can log into MyUnivr with your GIA login details: only in this way will you be able to receive notification of all the notices from your teachers and your secretariat via email and soon also via the Univr app.

Double degree

The University of Verona, through a network of agreements with foreign universities, offers international courses that enable students to gain a Double/Joint degree at the time of graduation. Indeed, students enrolled in a Double/Joint degree programme will be able to obtain both the degree of the University of Verona and the degree issued by the Partner University abroad - where they are expected to attend part of the programme -, in the time it normally takes to gain a common Master’s degree. The institutions concerned shall ensure that both degrees are recognised in the two countries.

Places on these programmes are limited, and admissions and any applicable grants are subject to applicants being selected in a specific Call for applications.

It's online Erasmus + - double joint degree a.y. 2024/2025

The latest Call for applications for Double/Joint Degrees at the University of Verona is available now!

For the presentation of the LA and subsequent recognition of CFUs, please refer to the International Mobility Regulations.

Alternative learning activities

In order to make the study path more flexible, it is possible to request the substitution of some modules with others of the same course of study in Mathematics at the University of Verona (if the educational objectives of the modules to be substituted have already been achieved in the previous career), or with others of the course of study in Mathematics at the University of Trento.

Documents


Attendance

As stated in the Teaching Regulations for the A.Y. 2022/2023, except for specific practical or lab activities, attendance is not mandatory. Regarding these activities, please see the web page of each module for information on the number of hours that must be attended on-site.

Graduation

Deadlines and administrative fulfilments

For deadlines, administrative fulfilments and notices on graduation sessions, please refer to the Graduation Sessions - Science and Engineering service.

Need to activate a thesis internship

For thesis-related internships, it is not always necessary to activate an internship through the Internship Office. For further information, please consult the dedicated document, which can be found in the 'Documents' section of the Internships and work orientation - Science e Engineering service.

Final examination regulations

Upon completion of the Master’s degree dissertation students are awarded 32 CFU. The final examination consists of a written dissertation on a specific topic agreed with a supervising professor and presented to a commission (Dissertation Committee).

The dissertation can be high-level theoretical or experimental (in the latter case, it may focus on either basic or applied research), it can deal with a theoretical topic or propose the resolution of a specific problem, or description of a work project, and may be carried out at universities, research institutions, schools, laboratories and companies in the framework of internships, traineeships, study stays in Italy and abroad. The dissertation must be original and written by the student under the guidance of a Supervisor. At the request of the student, the dissertation may be written and presented in Italian.

Professors belonging to the Mathematics Teaching Committee, the Department of Computer Science, and any associated departments may be appointed as Supervisors, as well as any professors from the University of Verona whose area of interest (SSD - Scientific-disciplinary Sector) is included in the teaching regulations of the degree programme.

Students may take the final exam only if meeting all requirements set by the School of Sciences and Engineering.

The Master's degree in Mathematics is obtained by successfully passing the final examination and thus earning the 120 CFU included in the study plan.

The material submitted by the student for the final examination will be examined by the Dissertation Committee, which comprises three professors, possibly including the Supervisor, and appointed by the President of the Teaching Committee. The final examination will be assessed based on the following criteria: the student’s performance during the entire study programme, the knowledge acquired during the dissertation work, their understanding of the topic and autonomy of judgment, their ability to apply such knowledge, and communicate effectively and fully all the outcomes of the work and the main results obtained.

The final examination and the degree ceremony will be carried out, in one of the four graduation sessions throughout the academic year, by the Final Examination Committee appointed by the President of the Teaching Committee, and made up of a president and at least four members chosen from among the professors of the University.

For further information, please refer to the Final examination regulations.
