1. Mathematical Reasoning : In physics and real-life context
Sammanfattning : This thesis is a compilation of four papers in which mathematical reasoning is examined in various contexts, in which mathematics is an integral part. It is known from previous studies that a focus on rote learning and procedural mathematical reasoning hamper students’ learning of mathematics. LÄS MER
2. Inget klöver utan matematik : En studie av matematik i yrkesutbildning och yrkesliv
Sammanfattning : Syftet med avhandlingen är att öka förståelsen för aspekter som inverkar på relationen mellan yrkeselevers kunskaper och de kunskaper som behövs i yrkeslivet. Detta görs genom att undersöka olika aktörers perspektiv på yrkeslivets behov av matematikkunskaper, matematikundervisning på yrkesprogram och utformningen av läroplanen Gy11. LÄS MER
3. Difficult to read or difficult to solve? : The role of natural language and other semiotic resources in mathematics tasks
Sammanfattning : When students solve mathematics tasks, the tasks are commonly given as written text, usually consisting of natural language, mathematical notation and different types of images. This is one reason why reading and interpreting such texts are important parts of being mathematically proficient, at least within the school context. LÄS MER
4. Mathematical Reasoning in Physics Tests : Requirements, Relations, Dependence
Sammanfattning : By analysing and expanding upon mathematical reasoning requirements in physics tests, this licentiate thesis aims to contribute to the research studying how students’ knowledge in mathematics influence their learning of physics. A sample of physics tests from the Swedish National Test Bank in Physics was used as data, together with information of upper secondary students’ scores and grades on the tests. LÄS MER
5. 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
