The project concerns the improvement of teaching probability calculus, also with the use of STEME (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, Entrepreneurship) methods for secondary school students. The project aims to develop, introduce to schools and evaluate the method shaping probability, which is practically absent in the current teaching in schools in Poland and Czech Republic (and many other European countries). Proposed probability input concept will be developed according to the constructivist method and active teaching methods and then it will be transferred to a higher level of mathematical education.
Theoretical and didactic mathematical foundations of this approach are new. The theoretical description of the concept was published in the authors' monograph project from the applicant and executive institution - Pedagogical University of Cracow and South Bohemia University in Ceske Budejovice:
Krech, I., Tlusty, P.: Stochastic graph and its applications, Jihoceska Univerzita v Ceskych Budejovicich, Ceske Budejovice 2012.
The project aims to develop educational materials based on the described teaching concept probability and practical verification of the effectiveness of the proposed methods on a small scale of partnership in schools in Poland and the Czech Republic. The project includes carrying out two main groups of activities, in achievieng the goals:
Activity 1: develop, introduce and evaluate a method for shaping the concept of stochastic graphs.
Activity 2: develop, introduce to schools and evaluate a method of shaping the concept of probability based on an educational game based on the concept of stochastic graphs.
If our project will achieve didactical success, the next step will be to disseminate the method and the game, prepare an Android and/or iOS application to facilitate learning in a wider range of partnerships in school education - and thus horizontal addressing the goal of the continuation of the project: digital transformation through developing digital readiness, resilience and capability.
