In the framework of the Comenius action of the LLP programme of the European Commission, we are developing a project focusing on the role of the language in mathematics learning for non-mainstream students. We are in the first stage, exploring teachers’ needs in order to respond more effectively to teaching mathematics. Here we briefly present the project objectives and the first findings from the analysis of a questionnaire answered by lower secondary school teachers in the partners’ countries (Austria, Czech Republic, France, Greece, Italy and Norway). Questions were about teachers’ experience on teaching in multicultural classes, their pre-service and in-service training, material used or needed in order to facilitate their teaching.

Abstract

In the framework of the Comenius action of the LLP programme of the European Commission, we are developing a project focusing on the role of the language in mathematics learning for non-mainstream students. We are in the first stage, exploring teachers’ needs in order to respond more effectively to teaching mathematics. Here we briefly present the project objectives and the first findings from the analysis of a questionnaire answered by lower secondary school teachers in the partners’ countries (Austria, Czech Republic, France, Greece, Italy and Norway). Questions were about teachers’ experience on teaching in multicultural classes, their pre-service and in-service training, material used or needed in order to facilitate their teaching.
