2. 1. Learning to solve problems that you have not learned to solve: Strategies in mathematical problem solving

   Author : Éva Fülöp; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Problem-solving strategies; Problem-solving ability; Variation theory; Design principles; Classroom teaching; Design-based research DBR ;

   Abstract : This thesis aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the relationship between problem-solving strategies and success in mathematical problem solving. In its introductory part, it pursues and describes the term strategy in mathematics and discusses its relationship to the method and algorithm concepts. READ MORE

4. 2. Geometric Discretization in Shape analysis

   Author : Erik Jansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; compressible fluids; diffeomorphisms; residual neural networks; quantization; machine learning; Shape analysis;

   Abstract : Discretizations in shape analysis is the main theme of this licentiate thesis, which comprises two papers.  The first paper considers  the problem of finding a parameterized time-dependent vector field that warps an initial set of points to a target set of points. READ MORE

5. 3. On Mathematical Reasoning : being told or finding out

   Author : Mathias Norqvist; Johan Lithner; Bert Jonsson; Catarina Rudälv; Kristina Juter; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; mathematics education; creative reasoning; reasoning; cognitive proficiency; fMRI; didactics of mathematics; matematikdidaktik;

   Abstract : School-mathematics has been shown to mainly comprise rote-learning of procedures where the considerations of intrinsic mathematical properties are scarce. At the same time theories and syllabi emphasize competencies like problem solving and reasoning. READ MORE

6. 4. Studies in the Conceptual Development of Mathematical Analysis

   Author : Kajsa Bråting; Anders Öberg; Hans Niels Jahnke; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; History of mathematics; conceptual development; mathematical analysis; Other mathematics; Övrig matematik; Mathematics; Matematik;

   Abstract : This dissertation deals with the development of mathematical concepts from a historical and didactical perspective. In particular, the development of concepts in mathematical analysis during the 19th century is considered. The thesis consists of a summary and three papers. In the first paper we investigate the Swedish mathematician E. READ MORE

7. 5. Approaching Mathematical Discourse : Two analytical frameworks and their relation to problem solving interactions

   Author : Andreas Ryve; Kimmo Eriksson; Inger Wistedt; Anna Sfard; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Didactics of Mathematics; Mathematics Education; Analytical approaches; Communication; Concept maps; Contextualization; Discourse; Engineering students; Higher Education; Intentional analysis; Methodological framworks; Problem solving; Prospective teachers; Student teachers; Teacher education; Theoretical frameworks; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK; Matematik tillämpad matematik;

   Abstract : The driving force of conducting the two studies presented in this thesis is to examine ways that conceptual understanding and problem solving could be part of mathematics teaching, and through that, part of students' mathematical knowledge. The specific aims of the thesis are: 1) to characterize the classroom discourse of two, apparently similar, problem solving courses in teacher education and 2) to discuss the possibilities of developing two analytical approaches - the communicational approach to cognition and the dialogical approach - used for studying mathematical discourse.
