Erasmus+ KA1: Teaching Mobilility Activity
Dr. Vesife Hatısaru, faculty member at TED University in the Department of Mathematics and Science Education, implemented a teaching mobility activity on 9-13 April 2018 to the University of Lisboa (ULisboa) Institute of Education in the framework of Erasmus+ KA1 Mobility Projects for Higher Education Students and Staff. The teaching mobility activity included meetings, discussing scientific activities with academics, and giving seminars.
Dr. Hatısaru involved in the European Doctorate in Teacher Education (EDiTE), a four-year project (2015-2019) supported by the Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, Marie-Sklodowska-Curie. The project comprises of five partners from five different countries: Eötvös Loránd University, University of Innsbruck, University of Lisbon, University of Lower Silesia, and Masaryk University. Under the project, fifteen young researchers from eleven countries (Bhutan, Czech Republic, Ecuador, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Nepal, Poland, Serbia, Syria, USA) are employed by these five partner universities. The researchers work with supervisors and pursue individual research projects in the framework of the EDiTE joint research programme. Hosted by Asst. Prof. Luís Tinoca, the Programme Director at ULisboa, Dr. Hatısaru gave a presentation on the Turkish Education System and its Challenges to the EDiTE researchers in the Education Issues in Europe course.

Dr. Hatısaru attended a graduate class, Didactics of Mathematics, given by Asst. Prof. Ana Cláudia Henriques and observed graduate students’ GeoGebra experiences.
Hosted by Prof. João Pedro da Ponte, Dr. Hatısaru joined a Doctoral Seminar where PhD students in mathematics education presented their doctoral projects to a scientific committe. In this Seminar, Dr. Hatısaru gave a talk on Secondary Mathematics Teachers’ Beliefs about Knowledge of Teaching and Their Impact on Teaching Practices.
According to Dr. Hatısaru the EU grant programmes including LifeLong Learning Programmes and Erasmus+ contribute growth in both students and staff, and the present mobility was not an exception.
