abstract = {Technical language is a powerful tool to represent the
abstract objects of mathematics and to make them accessible
to thinking in a precise way. This makes a conscious use of
technical language by the mathematics teacher important for
a successful mathematical teaching-learning processes. With
this background the topic of this dissertation project is
the technical communication competence of (future)
mathematics teachers. Besides the importance of the
technical language to get access to mathematics, the
motivation to study the use of technical language by future
and unexperienced mathematics teachers lies in the fact,
that students of mathematics teaching (at the RWTH Aachen
University) show weaknesses in subject communication:
Occasionally, technical linguistic utterances are not
appropriate. They are accurate for the most part,
nevertheless, they are didactically less supportive for the
learning process and the target group. The main challenge
for prospective mathematics teachers is to consider the
learners’ abilities in subject communication by using
technical terms, locutions and notations. Furthermore, many
of mathematics didactic investigations for the teacher
training concerning technical communication focus on the
transition from school to university: Their aim is to get
students used to the specific technical language of experts
in mathematics. In contrast, this dissertation focuses more
on the use of technical language by mathematics teachers in
teaching-learning processes. The high importance lies in the
knowledge asymmetry in technical language between
mathematics teachers and their students. The contribution of
this dissertation project to research and teaching in
mathematics didactics is to be located at both, theoretical
and practical level: Interdisciplinary considerations about
mathematics didactics and technical language linguistics
will be presented based on a competence model of the
linguist Thorsten Roelcke. This theoretical approach is
applied to describe the concept of technical communicative
competence. Furthermore, mathematics specific
characteristics of technical communication competence are
derived. On the practical level, theoretical considerations
lead to the conception and the development of a workbook.
The core of this workbook are three interdisciplinary
learning cycles on the thematic priorities „ambiguity -
minus sign“, „metaphors - limits“ and „synonyms $\&$
paraphrases - significance tests". They are reflect the
inseparable connection between language and thinking and
include a sensibilization for the relevance of a conscious
and audience-oriented use of the technical language.
Furthermore, they provide principles and recommendations for
the practical implementation of technical language in
teaching to future mathematics teachers. This thesis shows
the reader the significance of a technical communication
competence education for (prospective) secondary mathematics
teachers. It also describes the conception and the
development of the workbook as well as the evaluation
results with the intention to give lecturers a well-founded
decision basis for the integration of the workbook into
their own teacher training.},
