  1. 1. Decontextualized language, logic, and algebra : the relationship between Mozambican students’ achievement in school mathematics and their language and social background

    Författare :Ribas Salatiel Madaucane Guambe; Núria Planas; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Mathematics Education; Matematik och lärande;

    Sammanfattning : Researchers in mathematics education have always stressed the relevance of algebra in school mathematics and have produced a wide range of empirical and theoretical outcomes in relation to this field. In addition, the importance of language proficiency for success in school mathematics has been explored in a variety of different contexts, as has been the relation between students’ social class and achievement in mathematics.

  3. 2. Word Representations for Emergent Communication and Natural Language Processing

    Författare :Mikael Kågebäck; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Extractive summarisation; Emergent communication; Deep reinforcement learning; Natural language processing; Word Representations; Deep learning; Machine learning; Artificial neural networks;

    Sammanfattning : The task of listing all semantic properties of a single word might seem manageable at first but as you unravel all the context dependent subtle variations in meaning that a word can encompass, you soon realize that precise mathematical definition of a word’s semantics is extremely difficult. In analogy, humans have no problem identifying their favorite pet in an image but the task of precisely defining how, is still beyond our capabilities. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Traces of Mathematical Facts and Students’ Understanding of the Concept `Quadrilateral´ : An enquiry into young students’ communication

    Författare :Eva Juhlin; Maria Johansson; Ewa Bergqvist; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Mathematics Education; Matematik och lärande;

    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.

  5. 4. Does language matter? : sources of inequivalence and demand of reading ability of mathematics tasks in different languages

    Författare :Frithjof Theens; Ewa Bergqvist; Magnus Österholm; Lotta Vingsle; Andreas Ryve; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mathematics tasks; reading; equivalence; DIF; multilingual assessments; PISA; matematikdidaktik; didactics of mathematics; pedagogiskt arbete; educational work;

    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

  7. 5. På tal om matematik : matematiken, vardagen och den matematikdidaktiska diskursen

    Författare :Eva Riesbeck; Lars-Ove Dahlgren; Ingrid Andersson; Astrid Pettersson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; school-mathematics; every-day life; discourse; education; language; discursive boundary crossing; meta-language; Skolmatematik; vardag; diskurs; didaktik; språk; diskursiva gränser; metaspråk; Education; Pedagogik;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this dissertation is to describe and analyze how discourse as a theoretical and didactical concept can help in advancing knowledge about the teaching of mathematics in school. The dissertation has been written within a socio-cultural perspective where active participation and support from artefacts and mediation are viewed as important contributions to the development of understanding.
