6. Motivation, students, and the classroom environment : exploring the role of Swedish students’ achievement goals in chemistry
Sammanfattning : The overarching aim of this thesis is to deepen the knowledge about students’ achievement goals in chemistry and how they relate to students’ epistemic beliefs (beliefs about knowledge) and to their perceptions of classroom goal structures (instructional practices that emphasize certain achievement goals). Achievement goals are defined as the purpose behind students’ engagement in achievement behavior. LÄS MER
7. Traces of Mathematical Facts and Students’ Understanding of the Concept `Quadrilateral´ : An enquiry into young students’ communication
Sammanfattning : Mathematics could be described as a special kind of language, a discourse in which participants communicate abstract concepts. Communication and language are known to be important factors in teaching and learning but little is known about neither communication between students in relation to geometrical concepts, nor what traces of mathematical facts and understanding is incorporated into their communication.

8. Progression of algebraic discourse in school years 2 to 8
Sammanfattning : In contemporary educational settings algebra is considered to be of vital importance for student's continuation to more advanced studies in mathematics, thereby affecting their chances for future education and employment. However, a substantial number of students do not benefit from the algebra presently taught in schools and fail to use algebraic reasoning. LÄS MER
9. "Kunskap är vad du vet, och vet du inte kan du alltid googla!" : elevers epistemic beliefs i naturvetenskaplig undervisningskontext
Sammanfattning : One important goal of science education is to help students develop an adequate understanding of what science is and how it is done. An understanding of science includes epistemic beliefs, that is, individuals’ beliefs about the nature of knowledge, how knowledge is constructed, and how knowledge can be justified. LÄS MER
10. Does language matter? : sources of inequivalence and demand of reading ability of mathematics tasks in different languages
Sammanfattning : Practicing mathematics is not possible without the use of language. To communicate mathematical content, not only words in natural language are used but also non-verbal forms of communication such as mathematical symbols, graphs, and diagrams. All these forms of communication can be seen as part of the language used when doing mathematics. LÄS MER
