Mathematics didactic analyses of the 2008 central examinations in mathematics at the end of grade 10 in North Rhine-Westphalia, together with Johanna Neubrand (University of Vechta): This report was handed over to and discussed with the Ministry for School and Further Education of North Rhine-Westphalia in Düsseldorf in 2010. The analyses carried out refer to the tasks and to selected authentic tasks. The Ministry was given advice on task construction and subject lesson development, which was incorporated into the Ministry's planning. The entire report can be downloaded here: |
