Institute of Mathematics and its Didactics

Organisational unit: Institute

Organisation profile

The Institute of Mathematics and its Didactics prepares students in education programs of study for teaching mathematics in primary, secondary and intermediary schools as well as in vocational schools (in the social pedagogy and business economics majors). Important areas of concentration include the integration of theory and practice in mathematics education through inter- and transdisciplinary research, as well the professionalization of teachers through video-based instructional evaluation and instructor support for solving specific diagnostic assignments.
