  2. 16. Algebra in upper secondary mathematics : a study of a selection of textbooks used in the years 1960-2000 in Sweden

    Author : Teresia Jakobsson-Åhl; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Mathematics Education; Matematik och lärande;

    Abstract : The research interest in this licentiate thesis is the development of school algebra in the Swedish upper-secondary school. To be more precise, the notion of school algebra, in the period 1960-2000, is described and analyzed through the study of mathematics textbooks and their revisions as a consequence of curricular reforms.

  6. 19. Approaching Curriculum Resources : Examining the potential of textbooks and teacher guides to support mathematics learning and teaching

    Author : Linda Ahl; Andreas Ryve; Skott Skott; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : Didactics; didaktik;

    Abstract : The driving forces of conducting the two studies presented in this thesis are: the strong position of curriculum resources in the mathematics classroom in general; teachers’ faith in curriculum resources to convey the intentions and goals of mathematics education; and the expected benefits to mathematics education through expanding the knowledge base of research in the area of curriculum resources in general, and teacher guides in particular. This thesis builds upon two studies conducted in Sweden. READ MORE
