| Anotation | This project focuses on the systematic integration of electronic testing into constructivist geometry education within the preparation of future lower secondary mathematics teachers. The main objective is to examine how e-tests can function not only as an assessment tool but also as an active component of the learning process that supports discovery, reflection, and deeper understanding of geometric concepts. In this project, electronic testing is understood as a modern didactic instrument that enables immediate feedback, adaptive learning pathways, student self-assessment, and diagnostic insights into learners? understanding, making it highly suitable for constructivist educational environments in which students actively build their mathematical knowledge. The project builds on the author?s dissertation research, which investigates the impact of e-tests on learning processes, motivation, and self-reflection. Within the project, educational activities based on various types of electronic tests (diagnostic, formative, self-assessment, and motivational) will be designed and pilot-tested, specifically tailored to geometry content and the needs of pre-service mathematics teachers. The implementation will follow a Design-Based Research approach, with the project encompassing the first two iterations of the cycle?design, pilot implementation, and subsequent refinement of the e-test activities?to evaluate their effectiveness in real educational settings. The outcomes will include a comprehensive methodological framework for incorporating electronic testing into geometry education in teacher preparation, a set of validated e-tests integrated into constructivist learning activities, an analysis of their impact on pre-service teachers? understanding and motivation, and recommendations for broader implementation in university programs. The project thus highlights the potential of electronic testing as a key component of modern didactics of geometry. |
