Webinar in Mathematics Education
The iTEM Project: Help Students to Realize the Mathematics Power in their studies & careers
16th of October in Zoom, starting at 1430 CET
The majority of students in Europe and not only have not realized and appreciate the importance of Mathematics in explaining the real world and solving the most important challenges our civilization faces. To tackle this issue is of high priority to change / to modify the way we teach Mathematics: use real-life problems that can be tackled using fundamental Mathematics, employ during our lectures simulations that link fundamental mathematical parameters with measurable quantities, and employ modern teaching techniques that cultivate the soft skills requested in order to build ‘active’ learners.
This Webinar is very much aligned with the actions of the iTEM project (item.chania.teicrete.gr) and will provide a fast review regarding actions that address the aforementioned proposals. The topics will be presented along this training event will be:
- Modern Teaching - Student Oriented Methods along with Mathematics Education e.g. Problem Based Learning
- Teaching Mathematics Strategies in the COVID-19 era e.g. MOOCs and Flipped Classrooms
- How to teach Fundamental Mathematics with examples from real World
- How to support weak students in Mathematics
The planned presentations target Math Teachers but also students that want to discover ‘ Why do we learn Mathematics?
All the speakers are experienced scientists and teachers in the topics the webinar will present; the speakers come from the Academia and Industry as well
This Webinar takes place also on the frame of the HMU actions to celebrate the Erasmus Days 2020. We hope that you will be with us on the 16th of October (starting at 1430 CET)
