| Objective of the Project |
The project was focused on establishing collaboration between Masaryk University, Faculty of Economics and Administration (FEAMU) and the University of Agder (UiA) represented by MATRIC in running Mathematics and Statistics Support Centres (MSSC). The aim of the project was the transfer from the expertise of MATRIC to the newly established MSSC at MU. Both countries are struggling with a serious decline in students’ mastery of basic mathematical skills and levels of preparation for mathematics-based courses. As mathematics underpins many university subjects and quantitative methods are becoming increasingly essential in all disciplines (economics, engineering, biology), mathematics and statistics poses a barrier to successful study for many students. The key role of MSSC was to enable all students to achieve their full potential. There was no tradition in running MSSC in the Czech Republic, whereas MATRIC is leading innovation, research, and excellence in mathematics teaching. |
