No prerequisites
Research Perspectives in Science and Mathematics Education is an introductory module to the speciality. It aims to bring students closer to the basic ideas of research in Didactics of Science and of Mathematics.
Different themes will be addressed: the nature of science and of mathematics; the aims of science and mathematics teaching; theories of science and mathematics learning; historical milestones in the construction and transformation of the character of science and mathematics education as scientific disciplines.
This module is compulsory for the specialtiy of Science and Mathematics Education and it is optional for all other specialities, while being especially useful for students interested in Environmental Education research.
The module aims to get the student:
. acquire a basic knowledge of the specificity of research in both Science Education and Mathematics Education;
. learn to speak, read and write according to the criteria within the areas above mentioned;
. identify the particular criteria of rigour in the educational investigation involving either mathematics or science.
There are three key themes of content:
The training activity will be developed throught the following dynamics:
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.
Title | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
---|---|---|---|
Type: Directed | |||
master classes and clasroom practices | 36 | 1.44 | |
Type: Supervised | |||
shared analysis and discussion of documents, presentation of works, tutorials | 36 | 1.44 | |
Type: Autonomous | |||

The score of the module will be the weighted average of the scores obtained in the evaluation activities, provided that each of them is equal to or greater than 4. The evaluation of each of the activities will be individual. Details of the evaluation activities and the delivery schedule, where applicable, will be presented during the development of the module.
