▶Objectives
By implementing this project, our primary goal is to transform the perception and teaching of mathematics in the preschool period, making it a more engaging and enjoyable experience for young learners. We aim to revise existing mathematics education programs to include entertaining and interactive elements, support the professional development of educators with targeted training, and develop inclusive teaching materials that promote equality and multiculturalism.
▶Activities
Our project encompasses a comprehensive set of activities designed to enhance preschool mathematics education through the development and implementation of targeted educational modules that address existing curriculum gaps. These activities include creating a web portal for teacher training, providing specialized training for preschool teachers, revising educational content based on expert and teacher feedback, and enriching the curriculum with engaging animations.
▶Impact
(1) A web portal for the development of the mathematics education program, (2) A handbook detailing the program's outcomes, (3) Animations developed with the help of mathematics modules, (4) A book created using animations targeted at the preschool period, (5) The enrichment of mathematics education course content in higher education preschool programs, and (6) Research reports on the project's findings.
