    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

  4. 12. Individualized Mathematics Instruction for Adults : The Prison Education Context

    Author : Linda Marie Ahl; Kerstin Pettersson; Paola Valero; Lena Lindenskov; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Individualized Instruction; Mathematics; Prison Education; Adults; Tutoring; matematikämnets didaktik; Mathematics Education;

    Abstract : Individualized instruction tailors content, instructional technology, and pace to the abilities and interests of each student. Carrying out individualized instruction for adults returning to mathematics after some years away from schooling entail special challenges. READ MORE

  5. 13. Immigrant students' opportunities to learn mathematics : In(ex)clusion in mathematics education

    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; mathematics education; immigrant students; narratives; learning opportunities; foregrounds; identity; policy texts; fabrication; deficit perspective; discourse; power; matematikämnets didaktik; Mathematics Education;

    Abstract : This thesis explores immigrant students’ opportunities to learn mathematics. The research is concerned with issues of social justice and adopts a socio-political approach. Immigrant students are often described as students who do poorly in school because they lack “Swedishness” and have insufficient Swedish language skills. READ MORE

  6. 14. 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.
