This year, part of the MatheConnect team once again attended the scientific congress in Córdoba to present our latest research findings. Two exciting and intensive days — from May 5 to 6 — were dedicated to scientific exchange with students, teachers, and researchers from various European countries such as Spain, Italy, and Sweden.
Throughout the school year, the students worked with great dedication on a research report, a scientific presentation, and a poster, which they eventually presented at the congress. Their research was based on data collected at their school using the “Zukunftsbox” (“Future Box”). The main focus of the study was to investigate students’ interests regarding mathematics education and to explore how these interests differ across various age groups.
With great confidence and enthusiasm, the students presented their findings and made especially active use of the poster sessions to engage in discussions with other conference participants. They answered numerous questions, reflected on their results, and provided exciting insights into our research project. The congress therefore not only offered an opportunity to present research findings, but also allowed the students to gain valuable international experience and first-hand insights into the workings of a scientific conference.
