Office of Materials and Research for Mathematics at School

The GAMAR (http://gamar.udg.edu/) office is a space for thinking about and developing practical ideas related with learning mathematics at the preschool, primary school and early secondary school levels. It was created from the endowment provided by the Jaume Vicens Vives Award for University Teaching, granted by the Government of Catalonia in 2001 to M. Antònia Canals, Professor Emeritus of the University of Girona.

The name GAMAR stands for Gabinet de Materials i de Recerca per a la Matemàtica a l'Escola / Office of Materials and Research for Mathematics at School and this year it has been recognised by the UdG.



Instrument for Reflection on the Evaluation of Teaching Methods

IRAESO (http://iraeso.udg.edu/) is an Instrument for Reflection on the Evaluation of Teaching Methods in ESO (Obligatory Secondary Education) aimed at teaching staff. Starting with the analysis of different situations in the evaluation process which are considered to be conflictive, it aims to encourage reflection on what should be done next time and to promote changes and improvements in evaluation practices.
