ISSUES IN DIDACTIC OF MATHEMATICS: PROBLEM SOLVING

ICT is used (a) for presenting the content of the course, and (b) for acquiring certain skills in relation to certain software used for teaching mathematics. The whole material is accessible through the e-learning platform. E-learning is also used for communicating with the students who attend the course

The students’ evaluation is summative through written exams. They are asked to complete multiple choice questions, answer questions with short answers and solve problems. They know the way and criteria of the exam through both the lectures and the website of the course
