The main aim of the course is to help students develop their knowledge of mathematics through their development of their mathematical competencies. The course aims to assist students in broadening their ability to teach mathematics in lower secondary school. Students are given the opportunity to develop their understanding of the logical and axiomatic nature of mathematics. Participating students will be expected to describe in general terms different scientific theories and research related to the development of mathematical knowledge.
