Course Content (Syllabus)
Germanos: The course examines the basic categories of educational material and their relationship to the educational process both in kindergarten classrooms and outdoors to optimize their use as educational and recreational settings. Tzekaki: The course aims at developing scientific knowledge related to the use of educational materials and artifacts in the teaching of mathematics. The presentation and the use of this material by the student during the course help them approach it and thus develop skills for the choice, justification and teaching design of activities with the relevant material. Tsitouridou: Applications of asynchronous distance learning techniques in digital environment are studied. Students design and implement online distance courses for educators.

Student Assessment
Description
Tsitouridou: Students work in groups and communicate through the moodle platform. Every week they present issues arising from the design and implementation of their courses, which ensures continuous evaluation of their work. Students online distance courses are posted on the moodle platform. Tzekaki: Students work in groups presenting views and making proposals that allow for continuous assessment. Additionally, as part of their mid-term essays, students work in groups and prepare presentations on recommended topics related with the use of pedagogical material. Finally, they submit an assignment which presents ways that can be utilized based on recommended educational material in order to optimize the development of mathematical ideas. Germanos: Student evaluation is structured around two levels: c) study of bibliography and writing of short reports d) gradual composition of field assignment that records and analyzes the characteristics of the educational settings that are related to the assignment and visited by the students to this end. In this view, courses follow the procedure of continuous assessment which includes two phases: Phase A: c) Written assignments and reports to improve the skills needed for the course as well as to provide experience in regard with intervention matters in the educational setting d) Presentation and commentary on a representative sample taken from these assignments Phase B: Final (summative) assignment in which students: • compile findings and conclusions from written assignments and reports of Phase A • make proposals to redesign space and the educational procedure which is related to the educational setting of the school that they previously visited and studied.
Student Assessment methods
  • Written Assignment (Formative, Summative)
