Location of University of Bremen
Elementary Mathematics deals with the area of mathematics regarded as basic knowledge and which confronts us in many forms in every-day life situations. It encompasses the basic mathematical concepts and structures known to civilisations for thousdands of years: the symmetries and patterns, numbers and operations, graphical depictions and tables, algebraic structures and functional correlations with which we are confronted in many areas of life, both consciously as well as unconsciously. This is a main component of the mathematics taught in primary and secondary schools (Bremen Haupt- and Realschule) and it also plays a key role in elementary education.
Studies in Elementary Mathematics at university level focus on the teaching of mathematics for the aforementioned school types and the area of child education.
Subsequent non-teaching occupational fields
The Bachelor course qualifies students to become teachers in many areas of mathematics and natural science, e.g. in the field of primary education, nursery schools, as well as in the field of teaching children with special needs or with special mathematical abilities, and the development of teaching materials and teaching media.
Possibilities for additional qualifications
The graduation/final degree enables/ qualifies you to take on biennial scientific master studies .
Contents
Studies in the subject Elementary Mathematics train students in the foundations of the subject which are of relevance for teaching and learning mathematics. Mathematical thinking in arithmetic and geometry, stochastic and mathematical modelling and broad-based practical as well as theoretical knowledge of teaching skills are included in the basic curriculum and are compulsory for all students.
Courses train students in the analysis of learning processes and didactics, preparing them for independent academic and practical work.
Area foci/ modules for advanced specialisation
Students may choose between specialisations depending on school types, which vary in the weighting of subject content and teaching modules.
School-related studies for trainee teachers - general, incl. studies in education
In this programme area, subject-related studies in the field of teacher training are supplemented with courses dealing with teaching practice. This programme area comprises 25% to 50% of studies in the field of teacher training, depending on the type of school envisaged. It encompasses the following topics: studies in education, subject didactics, internships and key qualifications.
Work practicals
Four periods of teaching practice, each of six-weeks, are compulsory (usually following the first, second, third and fifth semester). These are integrated in the different teacher-training courses.
Requirements
General qualification for university entrance or specific higher education entrance qualification (e.g. Abitur, Einstufungsprüfung).
Compulsory participation in an online self assessment (self classification test in the specific field of study) for the appraisal of the individual suitability for an mathematic-scientific study.
Additional Requirements
| Minimal degree required: | High School diploma |
| Minimal amount of work experience | Not specified |
