| Abstract [eng] |
Mathematical literacy is important not only in the science world but also in everyday life. Therefore, there are still many discussions on how to develop mathematical literacy in different educational programmes. In the dissertation the problem of the development of functional mathematical literacy of students with moderate special educational needs has been analysed taking into account the challenges conditioned by a heterogeneous (from the viewpoint of educational needs) eighth form for the didactic process of mathematics. The aim of the research is to theoretically and empirically substantiate the methodology of the development of functional mathematical literacy of students with moderate SEN in mainstream school. Conducting the research the mixed method approach was applied, in parallel combining quantitative and qualitative research methods of data collection and analysis. As the result of the dissertation research, the concept of functional mathematical literacy of students with moderate special educational needs has been specified; the methodology of the development of functional mathematical literacy of students with moderate special educational needs educated in mainstream school based on theoretical approaches of educational philosophies of pragmatism and constructivism, the concepts of social participation, empowerment and mathematical literacy adapting the programme of teaching mathematics in senior classes, searching for teaching/learning strategies, methods, ways and instruments that help to develop mathematical literacy has been theoretically and empirically substantiated. |
