  2. 1. Designing for the incorporation of programming in mathematical education : Programming as an instrument for mathematical problem solving

    Author : Andreas Borg; Kenneth Ruthven; Maria Fahlgren; Chantal Buteau; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Mathematics; math; upper secondary; problem solving; programming; coding; instrument; instrumental genesis; education; mathematics education; scheme; matematik; skola; utbildning; problemlösning; programmering; kodning; instrument; instrumental genes; utbildning; matematikdidaktik; schema; Pedagogiskt arbete; Educational Work; Matematikdidaktik; Mathematics didactics;

    Abstract : This study explored Swedish upper secondary school students’ use of programming for mathematical purposes. The aim of the study was to investigate the process through which students learn how to use a programming environment as a technical artefact during mathematical problem solving and how the orchestration of such learning situations could facilitate this process.

  5. 3. Dead-Ice Under Different Climate Conditions: Processes, Landforms, Sediments and Melt Rates in Iceland and Svalbard

    Author : Anders Schomacker; Kvartärgeologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; klimatologi; glacier; dead-ice; surge; ice-cored; Little Ice Age; fysisk geografi; Geologi; Geology; Svalbard; Iceland; Sedimentology; cartography; pedology; geomorphology; Sedimentologi; Physical geography; geomorfologi; marklära; kartografi; climatology;

    Abstract : Modern dead-ice environments in the glacier forefields of Brúarjökull, Iceland and Holmströmbreen, Svalbard were investigated with focus on landform and sediment genesis, as well as quantification of melting. Field monitoring and studies of multi-temporal aerial photographs, satellite imagery, and Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) provided data for the melting quantification. READ MORE
