German term or phrase: Zahlbereichserweiterung
in a university transcript - teacher training:

'Didaktik der Zahlbereichserweiterung'

I looked it up, but could only find German examples. Being more of a language person than a mathematician, I could not derive the English concept from it.

Explanation:
The standard example is moving from integers, to rationals e.g. 2/3, to reals e.g. pi (and to complex nos, hyperreals etc).

In your context, it's essentially equivalent to Körpererweiterung.

Reference: Zahlenbereich

Reference information:
Gebräuchlich ist m.E. im Deutschen das Wort "Zahlenbereich" (nicht Zahlbereich).

Im elementaren Mathematikunterricht werden die Zahlen üblicherweise in immer größer werdenden Bereichen unterrichtet: Zuerst die Zahlen bis 10, dann bis 20 oder 100, usw.
