Sub-project Ib: Professional Education – Acquisition of Mathematical Skills
Sub-project lb aims to develop, test, modify and evaluate diagnose instruments, materials and didactic settings which should promote and develop mathematical skills. This happens in close cooperation with various partners, such as VAB-O-Classes (pre-qualification year for work/employment with focus on gaining German language skills) at vocational schools, the Volkshochschule Heidelberg (vhs HD) (adult education centre) and the BBQ Berufliche Bildung gGmbH (vocational training). Previous projects and findings to support participation in and through (mathematical) education are described in the following.
