Learning outcomes
The subject Arithmetic with Didactics I together with the subject Arithmetic with Didactics II in the summer semester of the 2nd year prepares students for their pedagogical work at the first stage of primary school in terms of acquiring mathematical knowledge, skills and didactic-methodological insight into the issue. In the lectures the student will obtain the necessary information in a comprehensive system, exercises are used to solve mathematical problems, experimentation, discovering mathematical contexts, creating mathematical problems and demonstrations of modern didactic methods. Increased attention is paid to the central concept of the whole subject, which is the concept of number. In accordance with the didactic constructivism to which the teaching of the subject applies, the knowledge bases are first created, on which the concept of number is gradually constructed during both semesters. Elements of mathematical discovery, research methods, etc. are used so that students not only build a comprehensive mathematical theory, but that the constructivist teaching style becomes a natural model for future pedagogical work of students in mathematics. The shown teaching methods will be supplemented by work with a textbook, didactic aids, computer technology, mathematical applications and extended by practical examples.
