Nel presente articolo ci proponiamo di fornire alcune informazioni sul sistema scolastico e sulla formazione degli insegnati in Germania. Poiché gli ordinamenti ecolastici e le modalità di preparazione dei docenti sono estremamente variegate ci dobbiamo limitare ad una panoramica generale. Esporremo invece con maggior dettaglio il metodo di formazione adottato all'Università di Dortmund, dove lavoriamo entrambi come docenti di didattica della matematica nei corsi di preparazione all'insegnamento. Ci concentreremo sulla formazione matematica e didattica degli insegnati di scuola primaria, illustrando alcuni corsi specifici tenuti nella nostra sede.
