1. Mathematics at work : a study of mathematical organisations in Rwandan workplaces and educational settings
Sammanfattning : To make mathematics more significant for the beneficiaries, the problem studied in this thesis is to investigate how to connect mathematical daily practices with educational contexts. The overarching aim is to investigate how to contextualise school mathematics within Rwandan cultural mathematics practices. LÄS MER
2. The fundamental theorem of calculus : a case study into the didactic transposition of proof
Sammanfattning : The relationship between academic mathematics as practiced by researchers at universities and classroom mathematics (the mathematical practices in classrooms in primary, lower and upper secondary education as well as in undergraduate university education) is a fundamental question in mathematics education. The focus of the study presented here is on how this relationship is seen from the perspective of mathematics education and by researching mathematicians, with a focus on proof. LÄS MER
3. Syllogistic Analysis and Cunning of Reason in Mathematics Education
Sammanfattning : This essay explores the issue of organizing mathematics education by means of syllogism. Two aspects turn out to be particularly significant. One is the syllogistic analysis while the other is the cunning of reason. LÄS MER
4. Proportionalitetsbegreppet i den svenska gymnasiematematiken : en studie om läromedel och nationella prov
Sammanfattning : Proportionalitet är ett centralt begrepp i skolmatematiken. Begreppet introduceras i de lägre stadierna och återkommer i så gott som samtliga kurser från årskurs 9 tillsista kursen på gymnasiet. Det övergripande syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur det matematiska begreppet proportionalitet hanteras i den svenska gymnasieskolan. LÄS MER
5. Modes of Mathematical Modelling : An analysis of how modelling is used and interpreted in and out of school settings
Sammanfattning : The relevance of using mathematics in and for out-of-school activities is one main argument for teaching mathematics in education. Mathematical modelling is considered as a bridge between the mathematics learned and taught in schools and the mathematics used at the workplace and in society and it is also a central notion in the present Swedish mathematical syllabus for upper secondary school.
