2. 6. Problem solving in mathematics textbooks

   Author : Daniel Brehmer; Andreas Ryve; Johan Lithner; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; mathematics textbooks; problem solving; textbook analysis; upper secondary school; Didactics; didaktik;

   Abstract : The aim of this study is to analyse how mathematical problem solving (MPS) is represented in mathematical textbooks for Swedish upper secondary school. The analysis comprises dominating Swedish textbook series, and relates to uncovering a) the quantity of tasks that are actually mathematical problems (MPs), b) their location in the chapter, c) their difficulty level, and d) their context.

5. 8. Exploring and modeling response process data from PISA : inferences related to motivation and problem-solving

   Author : Erik Lundgren; Hanna Eklöf; Inga Laukaityte; Per-Erik Lyrén; Samuel Greiff; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; response processes; large-scale assessments; motivation; problem-solving; computational modeling; Bayesian modeling; didactics of educational measurement; beteendevetenskapliga mätningar;

   Abstract : This thesis explores and models response process data from large-scale assessments, focusing on test-taking motivation, problem-solving strategies, and questionnaire response validity. It consists of four studies, all using data from PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) data. READ MORE

6. 9. Formative assessment and problem solving in mathematics

   Author : Sharmin Söderström; Johan Lithner; Torulf Palm; Carina Granberg; Guri Nortvedt; Umeå universitet; []
