2. 21. Exploring Probabilistic Reasoning : A Study of How Students Contextualise Compound Chance Encounters in Explorative Settings

   Author : Per Nilsson; Inger Wistedt; Lennart Hellström; Dave Pratt; Växjö universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Probabilistic reasoning; randomness; compound chance encounters; contextualisation; differentiation; elaborative variation.; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK; Matematikdidaktik; Mathematical Education;

   Abstract : This thesis aims at exploring how probabilistic reasoning arises in explorative learning situations that are random in nature. The focus is especially on what learners with scant experience of formal theories of probability do and can do when dealing with compound random situations in which they are offered opportunities to integrate different probabilistic lines of reasoning.

4. 22. 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. 23. The Potential and Challenges of the Use of Dynamic Software in Upper Secondary Mathematics : Students’ and Teachers’ Work with Integrals in GeoGebra Based Environments

   Author : Sanela Mehanovic; Per Jönsson; Morten Blomhøj; Per-Eskil Persson; Morten Misfeldt; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK;

   Abstract : An introduction of computer software into mathematics classrooms makes the didactical situation more complex compared with previous learning environments (Blomhøj, 2005). A technological tool becoming a mathematic work tool in the hands of the students is a process that has turned up unexpectedly complex (Artigue, 2002). READ MORE

6. 24. Exploring systematic lesson variation : A teaching method in mathematics

   Author : Laurence Russell; K.G. Karlsson; Magnus Österholm; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : The study presented in this licentiate thesis explores the student perception of systematically varied lessons, a specific lesson design and exploratory method of teaching mathematics in comprehensive school.Two 9th grade classes are taught in the curriculum defined mathematical core content sections of algebra and mathematical relationships and rate of change but by two different methods.

7. 25. Assessment Discourses in Mathematics Classrooms : A Multimodal Social Semiotic Study

   Author : Lisa Björklund Boistrup; Astrid Pettersson; Staffan Selander; Torbjörn Tambour; Stephen Lerman; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; mathematics classrooms; classrooms; assessment; discourses; social semiotics; multimodality; feedback; mathematics competence; matematikklassrum; klassrum; bedömning; diskurser; socialsemiotik; multimodalitet; återkoppling; matematisk kompetens; Education; Pedagogik; Mathematics Education; matematikämnets didaktik;

   Abstract : This is a study of assessment in mathematics classrooms and assessment is here regarded as a concept with broad boundaries including e.g. diagnostic tests, portfolios, and acts in teacher-student communication. READ MORE
