Objectives and Contextualisation

At the end of the Master, students have to achieve the following objectives:
										
											
										
											1. Acquire the didactic knowledge necessary to start teaching in secondary education.
										
											2. Apply didactic and problem-solving knowledge to the exercise of teaching as a mathematics teacher in secondary schools.
										
											3. Integrate the didactic knowledge of mathematics learned in the course, the experiences acquired in the realization of the practicalum in secondary schools and the proposals for innovation and research of the final work of the Master, to face the complexity of the profession as teacher in secondary education.
										
											4. Communicate their decisions and conclusions as a mathematics specialist clearly and unambiguously to students, their families and other professionals, providing arguments for their own statements based on correct decision-making based on reflection on responsibility social and ethical that implies the exercise of teaching.
										
											5. Assess the importance of continuous training when teaching mathematics and acquire the necessary skills to be able to carry out this training both independently and in a team with other professionals

Competences

  • Analyze and recognize their own socio-emotional skills to develop those needed in their performance and professional development.
  • Communicate and justify conclusions clearly and unambiguously to both specialist and non-specialist audiences.
  • Communicate effectively both verbally and non-verbally.
  • Continue the learning process, to a large extent autonomously.
  • Design and conduct formal and informal activities that help make the center a place of participation and culture in the environment where it is located. Perform the functions of mentoring and guiding students in a collaborative and coordinated manner. Participate in the evaluation, research and innovation of teaching and learning.
  • Design and develop learning spaces with special attention to equity, education and emotional values, equal rights and opportunities for men and women, civic education and respect for human rights that facilitate life in society, decision making and building a sustainable future.
  • Integrate knowledge and use it to make judgements in complex situations, with incomplete information, while keeping in mind social and ethical responsibilities.
  • Know the mathematics curriculum, and the body of didactic knowledge about the teaching and learning of mathematics.
  • Make effective use of integrated information and communications technology.
  • Plan, develop and evaluate the teaching and learning process enhancing educational processes that facilitate the acquisition of the competences of the teaching of mathematics, based on the level and previous training of students as well as the orientation of the same, both individually and in collaboration with other teachers and school professionals.
  • Possess the necessary learning skills to carry out continuous training in both content and teaching of mathematics and general aspects of the teaching profession.
  • Seek out, obtain, process and communicate information (oral, printed, audiovisual, digital or multimedia), transform it into knowledge and apply it in teaching and learning processes in the corresponding areas.
  • Solve problems in new or little-known situations within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to the field of study.
  • Use acquired knowledge as a basis for originality in the application of ideas, often in a research context.

Learning Outcomes

  1. Choose, use and develop materials for teaching mathematics.
  2. Communicate and justify conclusions clearly and unambiguously to both specialist and non-specialist audiences.
  3. Continue the learning process, to a large extent autonomously.
  4. Critically analyse one's own performance in the classroom in relation to one's emotional competences.
  5. Demonstrate knowledge and use of resources and strategies for providing information and academic and professional guidance.
  6. Demonstrate knowledge of contexts in which use is made of the different areas of mathematics in the secondary school curriculum, underlining the functional nature of mathematics.
  7. Demonstrate knowledge of the different types of continuing education.
  8. Demonstrate knowledge of the educational and cultural value of the mathematics content taught in secondary school and integrate it into the framework of science and culture.
  9. Demonstrate knowledge of the secondary school mathematics curricula.
  10. Demonstrate knowledge of the theoretical and practical developments in mathematics teaching and learning.
  11. Design learning activities taking into account the diversity of the pupils.
  12. Gain experience in planning, teaching and assessing the subject areas that correspond to the mathematics discipline.
  13. Identify the problems in mathematics teaching and learning and put forward possible alternatives and solutions.
  14. Integrate knowledge and use it to make judgements in complex situations, with incomplete information, while keeping in mind social and ethical responsibilities.
  15. Know and use internet resources and software to teach mathematics in secondary school.
  16. Obtain and select audiovisual, digital or multimedia information and use it to design learning activities.
  17. Show mastery of oral and written expression in teaching.
  18. Solve problems in new or little-known situations within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to the field of study.
  19. Tie education to its context and understand the educational function of the family and the community, both in imparting knowledge and competences and in teaching respect for rights and freedoms, equality of rights and opportunities between men and women, and equal treatment and non-discrimination of persons with a disability.
  20. Transform the mathematics curricula into sequenced learning activities and work programmes.
  21. Use acquired knowledge as a basis for originality in the application of ideas, often in a research context.

Content

- Introducción a la didáctica de las matemáticas: currículum, competencies, aprendizaje y enseñanza

- Recursos, propuestas de enseñanza y conocimiento didáctico en relación a los bloques temáticos del currículum de matemáticas, así como a la conexión entre ellos y a su inclusión en el mundo que nos rodea:

Números e iniciación al álgebra                 

Geometría y medida

Estadística i probabilidad                                        

Análisis

Methodology

The methodology combines presentations by the teacher, solving didactic problems and practical proposals.
										
											
										
											Readings of articles and texts that are discussed in class are commissioned.
										
											
										
											In relation to the autonomous activity, the student must carry out the proposed readings, solve the practices commissioned and study what is proposed by the teaching staff of the module.

The proposed teaching methodology and assessment may undergo some modification depending on the attendance restrictions imposed by the health authorities. 
"The proposed methodology involves a face-to-face development of the subject. If it were necessary to move to a semi-face-to-face development, 
the theoretical part it would be done by videoconference (through teams) and the practical part would be done in person, but dividing the group into two subgroups.
If it were necessary to return to a confinement everything would be done through teams and the virtual campus.In any case it would always be synchronously according to the timeline of the subject
 

Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
