Kompetencje geometryczne nauczycieli matematyki

Abstract

Practice proves that students tend to face difficulties in learning geometry. This observation is partially confirmed by the results of educational research as well as external exams. It happens repeatedly that students get lower marks in arithmetic or algebra tasks. The causes of such situation are complex. One of the reasons is that teaching geometry requires special teaching skills characteristic for this specific teaching branch as well as the need for “specific vision”. Therefore, I decided to study the geometric skills of mathematics teachers more carefully. For this purpose, I made use of two research results: international research TEDS-M 2008 as well as nationwide research The research of needs the elementary education teachers as well as mathematics teachers have in the scope of their professional development. This article presents the results of the analysis together with my personal thoughts on education and improvement of teachers’ skills in the area of geometry.
