MathE - Improve mathematical skills in higher education
No full textHigher education students of scientific subjects often lack the basic mathematical skills to follow lectures and make the most of the lecturer’s teachings. It is necessary to identify the gaps in each students’ understanding of the concepts and offer teachers adequate resources to motivate and provide their students the skills and competences they miss. The main goal of MathE - Improve Maths Skills in Higher Education is to encourage training and exchange in order to enhance and strengthen the quality of teaching and to support the use of digital and online technologies to improve pedagogies and assessment methods. MathE also aims to set up transnational teacher training courses and strengthen cooperation between universities that already offer such courses.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
MathE - improve mathematical skills in higher education
No full textA variedade de recursos tecnológicos disponíveis para fins educacionais, cuja utilidade é confirmada por estudos e experiências científicas é, atualmente, bastante grande e está em crescimento contínuo e experiências/estudos científicos confirmam consistentemente a utilidade de tais recursos. No entanto, ainda há uma falta de qualificação formal em competências digitais na formação do corpo docente. Até agora, muitas
instituições de ensino superior europeias estabeleceram sistemas de gestão de aprendizagem, mas tais istemas são implementados de forma elementar (por exemplo, fazendo apenas o upload de arquivos PDF). Ao mesmo tempo, espera-se que instituições de ensino superior em toda a Europa tenham em consideração as inovações tecnológicas relacionadas com a implementação de novos modelos pedagógicos e instituam enários como os Recursos Educacionais Abertos (OER) ou os Cursos Online Massivos Abertos (MOOCs).
Observa-se que frequentemente, no ensino superior, os alunos de disciplinas científicas fundamentais não têm as competências matemáticas básicas para acompanhar as aulas nem para rentabilizar os recursos e conhecimento disponibilizado. É necessário identificar as lacunas na compreensão dos conceitos por parte de cada um dos alunos bem como oferecer aos professores recursos adequados para trabalhar e aumentar a
motivação dos estudantes, fornecendo-lhes as competências que eles não estão a conseguir adquirir. O objetivo principal do projeto MathE – Improve Math Skills in Higher Education é conceber e implementar ateriais pedagógicos utilizáveis em suportes digitais, com o objetivo de promover uma cultura colaborativa entre estudantes de cursos sustentados numa formação sólida na área científica da Matemática.
Tendo em conta a crescente necessidade de sintonia com o rápido desenvolvimento do universo digital, no âmbito do MathE, criar-se-á uma biblioteca matemática online, em que se disponibilizarão vídeos, aulas,
exercícios, testes de treino e outros recursos, disponíveis gratuitamente para professores e alunos, bem como uma base de dados estruturada de métodos e recursos TEL - Technology Enhanced Teaching and Learning - que apoiem os professores na descoberta de novos modelos, soluções e boas práticas aplicáveis nas aulas.
O MathE promoverá ferramentas que permitam a aquisição de conhecimento matemático, na sala de aula e fora dela, respeitando o timing e o ritmo individual dos alunos e promoverá o debate entre professores e alunos, contribuindo assim para o aumento do empenho e comprometimento de professores e alunos no aprofundamento dos seus conhecimentos de Matemática.
A nível europeu, o projeto dará um forte contributo para a modernização do sistema de ensino superior no que diz respeito à aquisição de competências matemáticas e o seu modelo pode ser adaptado a outros tipos de instituições educativas (por exemplo, escolas secundárias) para conceber bases de dados semelhantes para os seus alunos. O consórcio MathE pode ser um parceiro útil na implementação de modelos semelhantes nessas escolas.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Developing tools for the e-learning platform mathE
No full textMathE (mathe.pixel-online.org) is an e-learning platform for higher education developed and implemented by a consortium of seven institutional partners from five European countries. The aim of the project is to enhance the quality of teaching and improve pedagogies and assessment methods by facilitating the identification of students’ gaps in Math, providing appropriate digital tools and promoting self-evaluation with immediate feedback. The Polytechnic Institute of Bragança (IPB), in Portugal, is one of the consortium members: sixteen of its teachers collaborate in the development of this platform, being responsible for thirteen of the topics/subtopics in which the platform is structured. Such topics cover a wide range of contents, from linear transformations to integration, from graph theory to probabilities. The articulation of the topics of the MathE collection corresponds to the canonic mathematics content of engineering, business and education degrees. The MathE platform is organized into three main sections: Student´s Assessment, MathE Library and Community of Practice. So far, IPB has already developed a collection of around 800 questions for the student´s assessment section and is currently developing the MathE Library. More than 350 students from IPB are using the MathE platform; some offered as volunteers, whose role is testing the behavior of the platform as well as looking for bugs and other details that require improvement, while others are already using the platform in their study. The feedback received up until now is quite encouraging.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Contributions to the learning in linear algebra: an experience with the MathE platform
No full textThe current pandemic context has highlighted the importance of looking for technological alternatives
that contribute for students to achieve greater autonomy in their learning. In particular, in the field of
mathematics in higher education, it is urgent to find technological instruments that mediate learning,
such as interactive content or online platforms.
The MathE platform (https://mathe.pixel-online.org), still under development, aims to be a tool to
facilitate the acquisition of mathematical skills in the field of higher education. Its main resources are
the Self Need Assessment, Final Assessment, Material Didactic and Video Collection and are freely
available for students and teachers. It was precisely the resource “Self Need Assessment”, that served
as the basis for a study with 84 students who attended the course unit of Linear Algebra and Analytical
Geometry, as part of the 1st year of a Bachelor in engineering or technology in portuguese higher
education. They solved some tasks of self-assessment on Vector Spaces and Linear Transformations,
and finally answered a questionnaire in which they expressed their opinion of the platform.
We intend to present the MathE platform and, based on the perceptions/opinions of students and
teachers involved in the experiments carried out, analyse its potential for the promoting the teaching of
linear algebra.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
