Fourteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with engineers. Because it is still unknown which TmL engineers actually use in their professional practices, the purpose of this study was to identify these TmL. So-called techno-mathematical literacies (TmL) are necessary for engineers of the 21st century. View full-textĭue to increased use of technology, the workplace practices of engineers have changed. These findings lead to recommendations for a revision of mathematics curricula in higher technical professional education. Engineers also noted a discrepancy between their education and workplace needs they characterized mathematics in their education as an island with limited relevance. The results of the data analysis suggest that commonly used TmL are data literacy, software skills, technical communication skills, sense of error, sense of number, technical creativity and technical drawing skills. a background in different educational tracks in higher professional education (e.g., civil, chemical, biotechnical and mechanical engineering). Fourteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with engineers with. Because it is still unknown which TmL engineers actually use in their professional practice, the purpose of this study is to identify these TmL. So-called Techno-mathematical Literacies (TmL) are necessary for engineers of the 21 st century. Results include didactical, process, and inquiry-based learning strategies used by the lecturer. In classroom discussions, in the so-called feedback hours on which students’ collaborative work on TmL was centered, context-based cases were discussed. We focus on the teaching strategies that the lecturer used to stimulate the development of students’ TmL. This paper describes the design and implementation of the course in a first design cycle with 59 chemistry students. applied mathematics for higher technical professional education with TmL as central learning goals.

To address this issue, we conducted a design study in which we developed a course in. How these TmL can be fostered in their education, however, is still unclear. So-called techno-mathematical literacies (TmL), seen as a domain specification of 21st-century skills, are essential for future engineers. The workplace practices of engineers have changed due to the ubiquity of digital technology.
