2. 21. Desires for mathematics teachers and their knowledge : Practicum, practices, and policy in mathematics teacher education

   Author : Lisa Österling; Iben Maj Christiansen; Annica Andersson; Ilana Horn; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Teacher education; practicum; mathematics; commognition; images; legitimation code theory; policy; assessment; third spaces; reasoned judgement; matematikämnets didaktik; Mathematics Education;

   Abstract : This dissertation is driven by questions about images of desired teachers, privileged teacher knowledge, and access to knowledge in teacher education. My position is that images of particular teachers restrict access to teacher education, while visible knowledge increases epistemic access. READ MORE

4. 22. Becoming recognised as mathematically proficient : The role of a primary school teacher education programme

   Author : Andreas Ebbelind; Jeppe Skott; Gellert Uwe; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematics education; teacher education; primary school; prospective teacher; identity development; Patterns of Participation; ethnography.; Mathematical Education; Matematikdidaktik;

   Abstract : This study focuses on upper primary prospective teachers in their first years of a teacher education programme in Sweden, in particular, a 20-week mathematics education course. It aims to contribute with insight into how, or even if, experience from a teacher education programme and other relevant past and present social practices and figured worlds plays a role in prospective generalist teachers’ imaginings of themselves as primary mathematics teachers-to-be and potentially shapes their identity.

7. 25. Modes of Mathematical Modelling : An analysis of how modelling is used and interpreted in and out of school settings

   Author : Peter Frejd; Christer Bergsten; Jonas Ärlebäck Bergman; Rudolf Strässer; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : The relevance of using mathematics in and for out-of-school activities is one main argument for teaching mathematics in education. Mathematical modelling is considered as a bridge between the mathematics learned and taught in schools and the mathematics used at the workplace and in society and it is also a central notion in the present Swedish mathematical syllabus for upper secondary school.
