2. 11. 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.

4. 12. On problems, joint problem solving and change - A human behavioural approach in a construction sector context

   Author : Lars Sunding; Byggproduktion; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Problem solving.; Human behavior and psychology; Information distortion; Problem formulation; Action research; Behavioral Change; Collaboration; Construction sector;

   Abstract : Critics maintain that there are a number of troublesome issues resulting from the construction sector’s way of operating and that these remain, despite widespread criticism and measures designed to change all of this. The construction sector’s and the critics’ manner of describing these problems fails to a large extent to take into consideration the way people function in connection with practical problem solving.

5. 13. Learning to solve problems that you have not learned to solve: Strategies in mathematical problem solving

   Author : Éva Fülöp; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Problem-solving strategies; Problem-solving ability; Variation theory; Design principles; Classroom teaching; Design-based research DBR ;

   Abstract : This thesis aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the relationship between problem-solving strategies and success in mathematical problem solving. In its introductory part, it pursues and describes the term strategy in mathematics and discusses its relationship to the method and algorithm concepts. READ MORE

6. 14. Approaching Mathematical Discourse : Two analytical frameworks and their relation to problem solving interactions

   Author : Andreas Ryve; Kimmo Eriksson; Inger Wistedt; Anna Sfard; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Didactics of Mathematics; Mathematics Education; Analytical approaches; Communication; Concept maps; Contextualization; Discourse; Engineering students; Higher Education; Intentional analysis; Methodological framworks; Problem solving; Prospective teachers; Student teachers; Teacher education; Theoretical frameworks; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK; Matematik tillämpad matematik;

   Abstract : The driving force of conducting the two studies presented in this thesis is to examine ways that conceptual understanding and problem solving could be part of mathematics teaching, and through that, part of students' mathematical knowledge. The specific aims of the thesis are: 1) to characterize the classroom discourse of two, apparently similar, problem solving courses in teacher education and 2) to discuss the possibilities of developing two analytical approaches - the communicational approach to cognition and the dialogical approach - used for studying mathematical discourse.

7. 15. Orchestrating mathematical whole-class discussions in the problem-solving classroom : Theorizing challenges and support for teachers

   Author : Maria Larsson; Andreas Ryve; João Pedro da Ponte; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; whole-class discussion; problem solving; five practices model; mathematical connection; argumentation; inquiry argument; supportive tool; Didactics; didaktik;

   Abstract : Promising teaching approaches for developing students’ mathematical competencies include the approach of teaching mathematics through problem solving. Orchestrating a whole-class discussion of students’ ideas is an important aspect of teaching through problem solving. READ MORE
