The research in the programme will cover aspects of scientific reasoning in different domains like mathematics, science, medicine, and education. Projects will particularly focus one or more of the following aspects (a) cognitive aspects of scientific reasoning and argumentation, (b) the role of (epistemic) emotions, (c) the role of cooperation and (d) the role of technological support for scientific reasoning and argumentation. > > Attached you can find a job offer for 12 Ph.D. positions in this program. I would be very happy if you could point excellent Bachelor's or Master's students of yours to this. Moreover, graduates from teacher education programms are eligible in most cases. > > Thank you very much in advance, > > Stefan Ufer > > > -- > ----------------------------------------------- > Prof. Dr. Stefan Ufer > > Chair of Mathematics Education > Department of Mathematics > Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich > > web www.ed.math.lmu.de > email ufer at math.lmu.de > tel +49-89-2180-4451 > fax +49-89-2180-4161 > > > -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

He remains a fully-active poet. He lives in London and is poetry editor of the on-line magazine London Grip (londongrip.co.uk). He is also an organiser of the Poetry in the Crypt reading series at St Mary's church in Islington.
