Scenario Design (First version) Deliverable No. 7 - ReMATH project (IST-6FP)

In the ReMath project, European researchers from different national teams develop and test educational software applications, known as Dynamic Digital Artefacts (DDA), which embody the different theoretical frameworks underpinning their approach to mathematics teaching and learning. Each team carries out classroom experiments using their own application but also engages in cross-experimentation using a DDA designed by another ReMath partner. This deliverable describes work undertaken by ITD-CNR in WorkPackage 3 devoted to the development and implementation of the pedagogical scenario, a dynamic and flexible model allowing teachers and researchers engaged in the ReMATH (cross) experiments to create and share classroom activity designs that capture and convey their viewpoints, concerns and intentions. It also reports the design and implementation by ITD-CNR of a web-based tool based on the pedagogical scenario model allowing ReMath participants to create and share scenarios for the classroom testing activities. An initial beta-version of the tool, called the Pedagogical Plan Manager (PPM), has been developed and distributed to partners. It includes a simple management system for controlling access to the different plans developed by partners, an editor for writing/modifying individual plans, and a viewer for "reading" existing plans.

Il deliverable documenta le attività principali svolte da ITD-CNR nell'ambito di WP3 di ReMATH, Work Package di cui l'istituto era anche il partner responsabile. In particolare, il rapporto descrive la formulazione di un modello di scenario pedagogico (pedagogical scenario model), ossia uno strumento concettuale ideato per guidare le attività di creazione, di rappresentazione e di condivisone di percorsi didattici sperimentali intrapresa sia da ricercatori che da docenti. A tale scopo, il modello è stato adottato per la realizzazione del Pedagogical Plan Manager (PPM), uno strumento web-based realizzato da ITD-CNR in WP3 per la costruzione e documentazione dei percorso didattici sperimentali generati nell'ambito di ReMATH.
