GeoGebra Institute:PHFHNW
Aims
1. Training and Support
2. Development and Sharing
3. Research and Collaboration
We will build up a Swiss network of GeoGebra Experts and Trainers using existing structures of the Kompetenzzentrum für Mathematikdidaktik. We will extend training throughout the country through courses in further education and courses attached to teaching education conferences.
People
Prof. Dr. Georg Bruckmaier is head of mathematics education at the Institute for Secondary I and II at the PH FHNW. His work focuses on visualizations in mathematics education. He is the chairperson of the GeoGebra Institute.
Georg Bruckmaier (chairperson)
Dr. René Fehlmann is a lecturer at the University of Applied Sciences PH FHNW and a teacher at Gymnasium Neufeld in Berne. His research interests are the development and evaluation of teaching materials enhancing the activities of students in learning mathematics. He will develop applets in GeoGebra and do research on the using of GeoGebra in mathematics class rooms.René Fehlmann
Dr. Martin Guggisberg holds a M.Sc. in Physics and is a lecturer at the University of Applied Sciences PH FHNW. The launch of the nanoscale science e-learning platform “nano-world” of the Swiss Virtual Campus and the later integration into “LiLa” a European eContentPlus project was the result of his scientific work. The actual research of Guggisberg is aimed at developing new concepts in the field of data visualization and e-Science. He focuses on development of interactive mathematical objects and remote/virtual experiments, on modelling of time-dependent systems, on mechanisms modification and visualization of data in cooperative virtual knowledge spaces. He will develop materials and do research on GeoGebra.
