  2. 6. Models of Cooperation, Learning and Catastrophic Risk

    Author : Vilhelm Verendel; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Backward Induction; Bayesian analysis; Finitely Repeated Prisoners Dilemma; Cooperation; Fermi Paradox; Learning; Climate negotiations; Catastrophic risk;

    Abstract : Our world presents us with dangers and opportunities. Some of these dangers and opportunities are easier to handle if two or more individuals learn to cooperate. This thesis contributes five papers about cooperation, learning and catastrophic risk. READ MORE

  4. 7. Mathematics teachers' conceptions about equations

    Author : Iiris Attorps; Högskolan i Gävle; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; algebra; conception; equation; learning; mathematics teacher; Subject didactics; Ämnesdidaktik; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK;

    Abstract : The aim of this study is to describe and to clarify the mathematics teachers’ subject matter and pedagogical content conceptions about equations. As the basis of these conceptions, the teachers’ experiences of the concept learning of equations from their own school time are described. READ MORE

  5. 8. 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. 9. Improving Teaching, Improving Learning, Improving as a Teacher : Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching as an Object of Learning

    Author : Jorryt van Bommel; Bo Dahlin; Ola Helenius; Raymond Bjuland; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching; Object of Learning; Learning Study; Variation theory; mathematics teacher education; Education; Pedagogik; Matematik; Mathematics;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns teaching in mathematics teacher education and is based on the implementation of a learning study at teacher training. The overall purpose was to investigate in what way teacher training could facilitate and improve student teachers’ Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching (MKT). READ MORE

  7. 10. Priors and uncertainty in reinforcement learning

    Author : Emilio Jorge; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bayesian reinforcement learning; reinforcement learning; Minimax; Markov decision processes;

    Abstract : Handling uncertainty is an important part of decision-making. Leveraging uncertainty for guiding exploration to discover higher rewards has been a standard approach for a long time, using both ad hoc and more principled approaches. READ MORE
