Prevention and Intervention in Special Education in Mathematics

Aim

On completion of the course, the student should be able to - analyse, problematise, evaluate and select intervention strategies for pupils in need of special support in mathematics, - identify critical aspects in the mathematical knowledge development and suggest preventive measures, - supervise colleagues in the organisation and design of special support in mathematics, - develop documentation work in special education with focus on mathematical development - assess and develop evaluation strategies for special education in the field of mathematics.

Content

In the course, different intervention strategies are covered, such as concretisation, and how teachers can work preventively on different levels. The supervision process of colleagues is also covered. In the final part of the course, documentation work and evaluation strategies for special education are discussed, with focus on learning in mathematics.
