Das Projekt verbindet Erkenntnisse der Mathematikdidaktik mit den Anforderungen der beruflichen Praxis. Ziel ist es, Ausbildner*innen ein Werkzeug an die Hand zu geben, um mathematische Lernprozesse im betrieblichen Alltag gezielt zu begleiten und individuelle Schwächen frühzeitig zu erkennen.
Das Buch orientiert sich an einem vierphasigen Lernmodell: Erarbeitung, Verinnerlichung, Automatisierung und Konkretisierung. In acht praxisnahen Kapiteln werden zentrale mathematische Inhalte handlungsorientiert aufbereitet. Dazu gehören Grundrechenarten, Bruch- und Prozentrechnung, Schlussrechnungen, der Umgang mit Größen und Einheiten sowie Geometrie und Schätzverfahren.
Alle Inhalte werden im Rahmen eines Forschungsprojekts mit Ausbildner*innen entwickelt, erprobt und auf Praxistauglichkeit überprüft. Das Buch bietet neben fachlichen Erklärungen auch didaktische Hinweise, diagnostische Instrumente und konkrete Übungsformate für die Arbeit mit Lehrlingen im Ausbildungsalltag.
The project combines insights from mathematics education research with the practical requirements of vocational training. The aim is to provide trainers with a tool to systematically support mathematical learning processes in everyday work situations and to identify individual learning difficulties at an early stage.
The book is structured around a four-phase learning model: construction, internalization, automatization, and concretization. In eight practical chapters, central mathematical topics are presented in a hands-on and activity-oriented way. These include basic arithmetic, fractions and percentages, rule-of-three problems, the use of measurements and units, as well as geometry and estimation strategies.
All contents are developed, tested, and evaluated for practical relevance in close cooperation with vocational trainers within the framework of the research project. In addition to subject-specific explanations, the book offers didactic guidance, diagnostic tools, and concrete practice materials for use in apprentice training.
The state of MTT in Austria has been statistically well demonstrated, however, in-depth studies are not yet available. The present project aims to close these research gaps. By means of qualitative and quantitative research methods, mother tongue teachers and school principals are to be asked about the basic teacher education and continuous professional development of mother tongue teachers, their role and position in school teams as well as about the organization and language didactic implementation of MTT. The project results are intended to be a first step towards a systematic scientific exploration of MTT in Austria. The research project aims to contribute to the development of concrete measures regarding the professionalization of teachers and to strengthen the role of MTT in research and practice. A qualitative study by the PHK (see Unterköfler-Klatzer, Ressman & Wutti 2020) and activities of the NCoC BIMM on professionalization measures underpin the need for research on this topic, which has received rather marginal attention so far (see Dalton-Puffer, Boeckmann & Hinger 2019).
