2. 11. Mathematical modelling in upper secondary school in Sweden : An exploratory investigation

   Author : Peter Frejd; Christer Bergsten; Jonas Ärlebäck Bergman; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK;

   Abstract : The official curriculum guidelines for upper secondary school in Sweden emphasise the use of mathematical models and mathematical modelling in mathematics education. However, no explicit definitions or descriptions of the notions are given in the curriculum. READ MORE

4. 12. Chordal and Complete Structures in Combinatorics and Commutative Algebra

   Author : Eric Emtander; Jörgen Backelin; Ralf Fröberg; Bernd Sturmfels; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Betti numbers; chordal hypergraphs; complete hypergraphs; hypercycle; line hypergraph; numerical monoids; positive affine monoids; Other mathematics; Övrig matematik; Mathematics; matematik;

   Abstract : This thesis is divided into two parts. The first part is concerned with the commutative algebra of certain combinatorial structures arising from uniform hypergraphs. The main focus lies on two particular classes of hypergraphs called chordal hypergraphs and complete hypergraphs, respectively. READ MORE

5. 13. Mathematical modelling in upper secondary mathematics education in Sweden

   Author : Jonas Bergman Ärlebäck; Christer Bergsten; Bharath Sriraman; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to investigate and enhance our understanding of the notions of mathematical models and modelling at the Swedish upper secondary school level. Focus is on how mathematical models and modelling are viewed by the different actors in the school system, and what characterises the collaborative process of a didactician and a group of teachers engaged in designing and developing, implementing and evaluating teaching modules (so called modelling modules) exposing students to mathematical modelling in line with the present mathematics curriculum.

6. 14. On Aspects of Mathematical Reasoning : Affect and Gender

   Author : Lovisa Sumpter; Johan Lithner; Markku Hannula; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; affect; beliefs; gender; mathematical reasoning; problem solving; upper secondary school; Other mathematics; Övrig matematik; matematikdidaktik; didactics of mathematics;

   Abstract : This thesis explores two aspects of mathematical reasoning: affect and gender. I started by looking at the reasoning of upper secondary students when solving tasks. READ MORE

7. 15. The Ecology of Mary’s Mathematics Teaching : Tracing Co-determination within School Mathematics Practices

   Author : Anna Pansell; Lisa Björklund-Boistrup; Paul Andrews; Uwe Gellert; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Mathematics teaching; Mathematics teachers; ATD; Co-determination; Praxeology; matematikämnets didaktik; Mathematics Education;

   Abstract : Teachers’ mathematics teaching has been studied in many different ways. Such studies not often include more contexts than the teacher’s teaching practice. READ MORE
