  2. 11. Learning Stochastic Nonlinear Dynamical Systems Using Non-stationary Linear Predictors

    Author : Mohamed Abdalmoaty; Håkan Hjalmarsson; Jimmy Olsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Stochastic Nonlinear Systems; Nonlinear System Identification; Learning Dynamical Models; Maximum Likelihood; Estimation; Process Disturbance; Prediction Error Method; Non-stationary Linear Predictors; Intractable Likelihood; Latent Variable Models; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : The estimation problem of stochastic nonlinear parametric models is recognized to be very challenging due to the intractability of the likelihood function. Recently, several methods have been developed to approximate the maximum likelihood estimator and the optimal mean-square error predictor using Monte Carlo methods. READ MORE

  4. 12. When mathematics teachers focus discussions on slope : Swedish upper secondary teachers in a professional development initiative

    Author : Anna Bengtsson; Constanta Olteanu; Kirsti Hemmi; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; teacher professional development; upper secondary mathematics teachers; collegiality; slope; rate of change; teaching culture; community of practice; learning study; Mathematical Education; Matematikdidaktik;

    Abstract : The shift towards collegiality is a new setting for many teachers. Most teachers work alone, in isolation from their colleagues and collegial collaboration requires organisational structures. READ MORE

  5. 13. Formative assessment and problem solving in mathematics

    Author : Sharmin Söderström; Johan Lithner; Torulf Palm; Carina Granberg; Guri Nortvedt; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Formative assessment; problem solving; reasoning; computer-based assessment; feedback; types of motivation; self-efficacy; pedagogiskt arbete; educational work; matematikdidaktik; didactics of mathematics;

    Abstract : In this thesis, the focus is on how reasoning in problem solving can be supported and which factors are associated with this support. In four studies, I investigated four aspects which address the overarching aim of the thesis. READ MORE

  6. 14. A teacher-centred design system to integrate digital technologies in secondary mathematics classrooms

    Author : Miguel Perez; Marianna Bosch; John Monaghan; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Design; digital technologies; praxeology; teachers; professional development; inquiry systems; agile educational design; Mathematical Education; Matematikdidaktik;

    Abstract : Despite efforts made by teachers and researchers, studies show that digital technologies have not improved conditions for teaching and learning mathematics to the degree expected by stakeholders inside as well as outside the school system.In this research, the problem of the integration of digital technologies is addressed through the perspective of design.

  7. 15. Assessment and Remediation for Children with Special Educational Needs : The role of Working Memory, Complex Executive Function and Metacognitive Strategy Training

    Author : Petri Partanen; Örjan Sundin; Jan Lisspers; Billy Jansson; Ann-Charlotte Smedler; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Children with special educational needs; Assessment; Working memory; Working memory training; Complex executive function; Planning; Metacognition; Mathematical learning difficulties; Barn i behov av stöd; Utredning; Arbetsminne; Arbetsminnesträning; Komplex exekutiv funktion; Planering; Metakognition; Matematiksvårigheter;

    Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to explore the role of different assessment tools and training regimens in assessment and remediation for children with special educational needs in school. A central purpose of assessment explored was that it should inform remediation, teaching and instruction. READ MORE
