The goal of this module is to show and discuss different research perspective in science and math learning and teaching from early childhood to secondary education, as well as in the field of teacher training.
The contents will focus on the following disciplinary areas: Development of competence and mathematical and scientific thinking Development of the knowledge and professional skills of mathematics and science teachers Thematic axes: Innovation and Learning Representation and Communication Context and Critical Thinking Sessions: Modeling and conceptual ideas progression . The learning cycle as a design structure (2 sessions)
Numerical representation (2 sessions)
Critical thinking (2 sessions)
The development of professional competence (2 sessions)
Evaluation
The sessions will be based on the presentation of the main research theoretical framework and on the discussion of the results of research articles, as well as the analysis of data.
Our teaching approach and assessment procedures may be altered if public health authorities impose new restrictions on public gatherings for COVID-19
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.

1. Continuous assessment consists of 3 activities:
Activity 1: Questionnaire about a research article with the following format.
The student will choose a research article from the didactics of mathematics or didactics of the sciences and will prepare a text based on the answers to the proposed questions. The delivery date is February 23, 2024 via CV.
1. What is the area of study? How do the authors frame it? What opinion deserves the formulation of the problem?
2. The authors' objective: What is(or are)? Explicit?
3. Are there implicit assumptions?
4. What are the conclusions? Do these conclusions follow in a logical manner from the data, from the arguments? Is there an influence of the initial assumptions on the conclusions?
5. Suppose we have to argue for and against, would you add arguments in favor? What would be your arguments against?
6. If you were to interview the authors, what would you ask them?
7. Have you encountered something surprising, new, that can change your approach to your own work?
8.Would you write such an article? Why?
9. Would you like to read a continuation? What would you expect?
10. Would you add other questions?
Activity 2: Analysis of the progression of a mathematical or scientific content in the curriculum.
This work will be delivered by the CV and will be exhibited in the classroom apron on March 21, 2024
(last session of the module).
Activity 3: Feedback Didactic analysis of a mathematical and scientific content.
Starting from the presentations made on March 23, 2023, a forum will be opened where each student will have to provide feedback on the presentations in their field (science and mathematics).
The authors of the presentations will have to respond to the actual feedback received. The deadline for making contributions is March 30, 2024. The quality of the contributions from all the forums will be evaluated.
2. Unique assessment
Those students who take the single assessment option will have to give an oral presentation on the last day of class, hand in activity 1 as well as prepare and deliver feedback on a colleague's work and answer to the feedback that the teacher will give you about your work.
3. Reassesment
Both in the continuous assessment and in the single one, make- up of the failed tasks is contemplated with a maximum mark of 5. To recover the assessment activities, it will be necessary to deliver a report justifying the changes incorporated in the activities based on the contributions provided by the teachers. The delivery deadline for the Virtual Campus will be one week after the delivery of the assessment
In accordance with UAB regulations, plagiarism or copying, IA uses without quoted of any individual or group paper will be punished with a grade of 0 on that paper, losing any possibility of the remedial task. During the elaboration of a paper or the individual exam in class, if the professor considers that a student is trying to copy or s/he discovers any non-authorised document or device, the student will get a grade of 0, without any chance to take a make-up exam.
