Content analysis in Mathematics and Science Education
Learning outcome
Participants will be provided with examples and methods for content analysis as part of research in didactics of mathematics and science, with a special emphasis on praxeological analysis in the sense of the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic.
Subject areas are Didactics of Mathematics and Didactics of Science. Emphasis will be on content analysis (also called epistemological analysis) in various kinds of didactical research, including design oriented research; praxeologies and praxeological reference models of mathematical and science contents, as well as for didactical activity including science education in out-of-school settings.
The teaching will consist of self-study of materials (original papers on epistemological and praxeological analyses in didactics) sent out before course start; Lectures (two every day, see teachers below); Seminars with participants presenting and discussing own epistemological analysis and Individual tutorials based on the 5-pages papers the participants produce before course start.
-
Preparation/self-study 50 hours
-
Course hours 35 hours
- Evaluating/reporting 45 hours
-
Total 130 hours
Participants are expected to read course material (about 100 pages scientific papers), write 5 page paper with content analysis pertaining to own project, read written feedback from course teachers, prepare oral presentation based on the paper and feedback as preparation for the course.
The criteria for assessment is that the Initial paper provided by each participant (submitted no later than the 1st of October) draws significantly on course materials and oral presentations also draws on feedback from course teachers. The 30 minutes oral presentations concludes the assessment of the participant.
Registration is free of charge; participants are required to cover any and all costs pertaining to travel, room and board during the course.
