The project led by Prof. Dr. İlhan Karataş, a faculty member in the Department of Mathematics Education at Ereğli Faculty of Education of Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit University (BEUN), has been awarded support by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) under the 4005 – Innovative Education Practices Support Program.

The project, titled “Training on Designing Technology-Supported Activities in Mathematics Education,” aims to strengthen the integration of technology in mathematics education and to improve the skills of teachers and prospective teachers in designing technology-supported activities. Within this scope, the training activities to be carried out are intended to contribute to participants’ ability to develop innovative and interactive teaching practices in line with the requirements of the modern age.

The project is considered an important step in terms of encouraging the effective use of digital tools in mathematics teaching and contributing to the widespread adoption of innovative approaches in education. At the same time, it stands as a concrete indicator that the scientific and practice-oriented studies conducted within Ereğli Faculty of Education are being strengthened through national support programs.

Rector Özölçer: “We Highly Value Projects Supporting Innovative Approaches in Education”
