  2. 1. 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.

  4. 2. The Potential and Challenges of the Use of Dynamic Software in Upper Secondary Mathematics : Students’ and Teachers’ Work with Integrals in GeoGebra Based Environments

    Author : Sanela Mehanovic; Per Jönsson; Morten Blomhøj; Per-Eskil Persson; Morten Misfeldt; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK;

    Abstract : An introduction of computer software into mathematics classrooms makes the didactical situation more complex compared with previous learning environments (Blomhøj, 2005). A technological tool becoming a mathematic work tool in the hands of the students is a process that has turned up unexpectedly complex (Artigue, 2002). READ MORE

  5. 3. To explore and verify in mathematics

    Author : Tomas Bergqvist; Hans Wallin; Johan Lithner; Morten Blomhøj; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Explorations; mathematical reasoning; empirical investigations; graphing calculators; conjectures.; Subject didactics; Ämnesdidaktik; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK; didactics of mathematics; matematikdidaktik;

    Abstract : This dissertation consists of four articles and a summary. The main focus of the studies is students' explorations in upper secondary school mathematics. In the first study the central research question was to find out if the students could learn something difficult by using the graphing calculator. READ MORE

  6. 4. 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

  7. 5. 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
