Research Orientation and Fields of Work

The team carries out empirical research into mathematics teaching and learning processes. For this purpose, we observe everyday or specially designed learning situations, videograph them, and systematically analyse the data. A primary focus is the development of theories on mathematical learning and teaching. This results in constructive points of connection for the development and conceptualisation of learning environments for schools and universities.

 

1. Visual Aids and Objects in Primary School Maths Lessons

  • Conditions for learning mathematics with visual aids
  • Calculating with objects - sociology of objects

2. Language and Maths

  • Reasoning and arguing in maths lessons
  • Multilingualism as a resource for learning maths
  • Bilingual teaching-learning processes

3. Heterogeneity

  • Understanding concepts in primary and lower secondary level

4. Learning and Teaching with Digital Media

  • DigiMal: Digital teacher training at the university
