2. 1. Mathematical Learning Disability : Cognitive Conditions, Development and Predictions

   Author : Rickard Östergren; Ulf Träff; Joakim Samuelsson; Örjan Dahlström; Åke Olofsson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Mathematical learning disability; dyscalculia; mathematical cognition; number sense; Matematiska inlärningssvårigheter; dyskalkyli; matematisk kognition; antalsuppfattning;

   Abstract : The purpose of the present thesis was to test and contrast hypotheses about the cognitive conditions that support the development of mathematical learning disability (MLD). Following hypotheses were tested in the thesis: a) domain general deficit, the deficit is primarily located in the domain general systems such as the working memory, b) number sense deficit, the deficit is located in the innate approximate number system (ANS), c) numerosity coding deficit, the deficit is located to a exact number representation system, d) access deficit, the deficit is in the mapping between symbols and the innate number representational system (e.

4. 2. Promoting mathematical dialogue : students’ and teachers’ listening, questioning and participation

   Author : Marie Sjöblom; Clas Olander; Paola Valero; Despina Potari; Malmö universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Listening; mathematical dialogue; mathematics education; noticing; participation; professional development; questioning;

   Abstract : In Swedish mathematics classrooms, students have different opportunities to participate in mathematical dialogue, and therefore also different opportunities to learn. This is a problem not only for students, but also for teachers, school developers, and researchers. READ MORE

5. 3. Assessing mathematical creativity : comparing national and teacher-made tests, explaining differences and examining impact

   Author : Jesper Boesen; Johan Lithner; Torulf Palm; Gunnar Gjone; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Mathematical reasoning; creative reasoning; moderate high stake; teacher made tests; imitative reasoning; assessment; impact; influence; effect; mathematical competence; national tests; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK; Mathematical reasoning; creative reasoning; moderate high stake; teacher made tests; imitative reasoning; assessment; impact; influence; effect; mathematical competence; national tests;

   Abstract : Students’ use of superficial reasoning seems to be a main reason for learning difficulties in mathematics. It is therefore important to investigate the reasons for this use and the components that may affect students’ mathematical reasoning development. 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. “Count on me!” : Mathematical development, developmental dyscalculia and computer-based intervention

   Author : Linda Olsson; Ulf Träff; Joakim Samuelsson; Lisa Thorell; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; mathematical development; symbolic number processing; Approximate number system; developmental dyscalculia; computer-based intervention; matematisk utveckling; symboliskt nummerprocessande; Approximativa nummersystemet; dyskalkyli; datorbaserad intervention;

   Abstract : A “sense” of number can be found across species, yet only humans supplement it with exact and symbolic number, such as number words and digits. However, what abilities leads to successful or unsuccessful arithmetic proficiency is still debated. READ MORE
