Retrospective competence assessment in a PD course on teaching statistics with digital tools in upper secondary schools

International audienceRecent changes in German national standards and curricula have made statistics including digital tools an inherent part of the final examination at upper secondary schools. In previous years, many teachers focused only on mandatory content like algebra or analysis and almost completely avoided optional stochastic content. Thus they are now facing the challenge to create and implement lessons for a topic in which they are inexperienced and feel insecure. The professional development course presented in this study has the aim to increase teachers’ knowledge and competence in statistics, including the use of digital tools like graphic calculators and GeoGebra. A newly developed questionnaire was used to assess teachers’ development during the course and led to preliminary findings concerning the knowledge and competence for advanced topics of inference statistics and the expertise of using digital tools in this field

Kompetenzzuwachsmessung bei Lehrkräftefortbildungen durch retrospektive Selbsteinschätzung am Beispiel von „Stochastik kompakt“

Der neue Kernlehrplan für die Sekundarstufe II des Gymnasiums, der ab 2014 in Kraft getreten ist, schreibt die Behandlung des Themas Stochastik inklusive Hypothesentestens verbindlich vor. Um den neu entstandenen Weiterbildungsbedarf zu decken, entwickelte das Deutsche Zentrum für Lehrerbildung Mathematik (DZLM) die 4-tägige Fortbildungsreihe "Stochastik kompakt". Im folgenden Artikel werden ausgewählte Ergebnisse zum Kompetenzzuwachs der Lehrkräfte, die den Kurs besucht haben, vorgestellt
