Mathematics Courses at Preparatory Colleges as an Exceptional Field of Didactics Research

Abstract

Studienkollegs (preparatory colleges) are underestimated as data source and field of research. These institutions harbour great potential not only for DaF research, but also for mathematics didactics research.

One aim of this conference contribution is to give a multifaceted synopsis of possible questions resp. aspects which can be asked resp. focused by connecting Studienkollegs with educational and didactical research especially in mathematics. Another one is to dicuss methods and possible projects to answer resp. illuminate these questions resp. aspects.
