6. 4. Comparative Study of Teaching Computational Mathematics in Two Different Learning Environments

   Author : Dara Maghdid; Matematik LTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computational mathematics; Teaching style; Variation Theory; Mathematics values; Motivation;

   Abstract : This thesis aims to investigate necessary adaptations in the design of a mathematics course when it is transferred from one cultural environment to another. We focus on an elementary course in computational mathematics with Python taught at Lund University, Sweden, and at Soran University, Kurdistan/Iraq. This project holds two main parts. READ MORE

7. 5. Mathematical modelling in upper secondary mathematics education in Sweden

   Author : Jonas Bergman Ärlebäck; Christer Bergsten; Bharath Sriraman; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to investigate and enhance our understanding of the notions of mathematical models and modelling at the Swedish upper secondary school level. Focus is on how mathematical models and modelling are viewed by the different actors in the school system, and what characterises the collaborative process of a didactician and a group of teachers engaged in designing and developing, implementing and evaluating teaching modules (so called modelling modules) exposing students to mathematical modelling in line with the present mathematics curriculum.
