Guest lecture by Prof. Benjamin Rott on 10.12.2024 (hybrid)

Mathematical problem solving - current findings and needs in this field of research

Prof. Benjamin Rott from the University of Cologne is our guest at the mathematics didactics colloquium. All interested students, lecturers and teachers are cordially invited. The event is offered hybrid.

What is the lecture about?

Since Pólya's "School of Thought", problem solving has been a topic in mathematics didactics - sometimes more and sometimes less intensively. The lecture will summarize important results of corresponding research. Current research projects from Germany will be explained using specific examples, focusing in particular on heurisms, their effectiveness and teachability. In addition, insights into problem solving in mathematics lessons will be given and findings from (central) theses dedicated to the topic will be presented. Finally, it describes what the next steps in the field of problem-solving research could and should look like.
