    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; variation theory; learning study; learning opportunities; small-group discussions; whole-class discussions; whole-class teaching; mathematics; scaling; illusion of linearity;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to contribute to a deeper understanding of the relationship between teaching and student learning in mathematics when small-group discussions are used in teaching. This thesis focuses on student learning of specific subject matter when small group discussions are used in whole-class teaching. READ MORE

  4. 2. 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

    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; cultural scripts; curriculum materials in mathematics; Finnish primary school; teacher guides characteristics; resources for teaching; Didactics; didaktik;

    Abstract : Previous research worldwide has shown that curriculum materials maintain a strong presence and constitute an important tool, artefact, in mathematics classrooms. Yet, there is a vast lack of research on the design and the characteristics of teacher guides. READ MORE

  6. 4. Designing for the integration of dynamic software environments in the teaching of mathematics

    Author : Maria Fahlgren; Kenneth Ruthven; Arne Engström; Birgit Pepin; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; design research; dynamic mathematics software; intrumental orchestration; mathematics education; task design; Matematik; Mathematics;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns the challenge of integrating dynamic software environments into the teaching of mathematics. It investigates particular aspects of the design of tasks which employ this type of computer-based system, with a focus on improvement, both of the tasks themselves and of the design process through which they are developed and refined.

  7. 5. Formative assessment : teacher knowledge and skills to make it happen

    Author : Charlotta Vingsle; Torulf Palm; Tomas Bergqvist; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; formative assessment; teacher knowledge; mathematics; interactive dialouges; compulsory school; didactics of mathematics; matematikdidaktik;

    Abstract : Several studies have demonstrated that substantial learning gains are possible when teachers use formative assessment in their classroom practice. At the heart of most definitions of formative assessment lies the idea of collecting evidence of students’ thinking and learning, and based on this information modifying teaching to better meet students’ needs.
