Basic programming for mathematics teachers: continuation course

General content
- Students develop their use of basic concepts and building blocks of programming in relation to subject content
- Students further practise creating, testing, troubleshooting, and improving code in relation to teaching situations
- Students develop their knowledge of educational tools and ways in which programming can be used in teaching
- Students carry out teaching projects focused on programming
- Students learn about the possibility of subject integration by relating programming to diverse contexts including societal, technological, and aesthetic
- Students learn how programming can be considered in relation to gender equality, ethics, international issues, and the environment

Content specific to the target group
- Students further practise how algorithms can be created, tested, and improved when programming for mathematical problem-solving
- Students carry out programming in different programming environments in relation to mathematics teaching
- Students further practise using programming in relation to basic mathematical models or different types of mathematical problems, including modelling of authentic and new problems in mathematics education

- Meetings on campus include examination and are therefore mandatory.
