Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) can support the use of a minority language in different subjects. In our paper we present this method in the case of school mathematics. First, we describe the process of gaining knowledge in teaching mathematics. We will then present some students’ work who will be future Slovak minority teachers.
The research focused on the issue of physics subject matter in higher education of primary education teachers. It explained students’ misconceptions on an example of the subject matter about a pulley. The research aimed to study on a sample of 79 students the effectiveness of the designed IBI in eliminating misconceptions in favour of scientifically acceptable concepts. The main research methods were the pedagogical experiment and content analysis of students’ answers. Results showed that students’ misconceptions changed statistically significantly in the post-test against the pre-test in favour of scientifically acceptable concepts. Thus, the research results may incentivise branch didactics of science subjects.
