Learning Outcomes
After successful completion of the course, the students are expected to:
1) Have understood the nature and operation of Mathematics in conjunction with its teaching in younger ages.
2) Have assumed the special characteristics and the procedures of teaching approaches of Mathematics.
3) Recognise the particularities of the thematics and concepts of Mathematics.
4) They can name which mathematical concepts appear in preschool and early school years of age, describe the basic characteristics of these concepts and identify some of the difficulties that children most often face at these ages.
5) They can choose the most appropriate activities from a series of suggested activities that can be applied to the teaching of a particular mathematical concept.
General Competences
- Apply knowledge in practice
- Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
- Work autonomously
- Work in teams
- Generate new research ideas
- Be critical and self-critical
- Advance free, creative and causative thinking
Course Content (Syllabus)
The course include development of awareness towards areas of Mathematics and development of knowledge and experience in regards with their teaching, namely frames the special characteristics and the procedures of their teaching approaches. Specifically, the particularities of thematics are analysed, the escalation of the concepts difficulty are examined and those characteristics of the activities that are considered the most appropriate for the teaching of each concept depending on the age and the cognitive development of the children are studied. The course offers specialised knowledge about processing mathematical activities, games and specific educational material for young ages, but also, the necessary knowledge and initial skills for teaching mathematical concepts in preschool and early school age.
