Analysis of mathematics teaching-learning processes
Identification of the strengths and most widespread difficulties in learning mathematics, in order to intervene by creating environments conducive to overcoming them.
Competence Centre for Mathematics Education (DDM)
Competence Centre for Mathematics Education (DDM)
In addition to the initial and continuing training of teachers of all school levels at the Department and in the local area, it develops numerous research, dissemination and service projects in the areas of mathematics education.
interconnected geometric shapes
Implementation of teaching measures aimed at developing, strengthening and monitoring the development of positive attitudes towards mathematics and its teaching.
Role of the language of schooling in learning mathematics
Reflections and interdisciplinary analysis between Italian and mathematics to find common ground on a theoretical and applicative level between disciplines often perceived as distant.
Experimenting with informal and non-formal approaches to disseminate a positive view of mathematics
Promoting good practices in formal and informal contexts that make students and adults appreciate mathematics by creating dialogue around the discipline.
Use of innovative educational approaches for the development of mathematical skills
Creation of innovative and relevant educational programmes for different school levels, with a focus on the impact on teacher training.
Didactic evaluation of standardised tests
Didactic analysis of standardised mathematics tests referring to compulsory schooling in Ticino, in order to provide pedagogical-didactic indications useful for institutions, teachers and pupils.
Formative assessment for mathematics teaching-learning
Creation of a training model for mathematics teachers, aimed at improving teaching planning and assessment skills for learning.

Gruppo Matematicando
The Competence Centre for Mathematics Education is affiliated with the Gruppo Matematicando consisting of teachers and headmasters from pre-school, primary and secondary schools.
The Centre is responsible for the Master in Mathematics Education for people interested in developing advanced skills in mathematics education, which can be used at their own school level (pre-school, primary or secondary school), possibly as experts in mathematics education, in teacher training in the context of a University of Teacher Education or a University of Applied Sciences, and in research in disciplinary didactics.
Among its main continuing educational proposals, the Centre coordinates and organises the CAS Mathematics and its teaching in the first and second cycle of compulsory schooling, the CAS Learning to educate in mathematics and the DAS Learning to educate in mathematics.
Training days on research topics in mathematics teaching are also offered for researchers and teachers at different school levels, held by experts in Ticino, nationally or internationally.
