  1. 1. Impartial Games and Recursive Functions

    Författare :Urban Larsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Algorithmically undecidable; Beatty sequences; Blocking maneuver; Cellular automaton; Comply maneuver; Complementary sequences; Dictionary process; Dual game; Game complexity; Game convergence; Game reflexivity; Heap game; Impartial game; Invariant subtraction game; Move-size dynamic; Nim; P-equivalence; Rule 110; Splitting sequences; *-operator; Subtraction game; Take-away game; Turing complete; Wythoff Nim; Turing complete;

    Sammanfattning : Interest in 2-player impartial games often concerns the famous theory of Sprague-Grundy. In this thesis we study other aspects, bridging some gaps between combinatorial number theory, computer science and combinatorial games. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Supporting Learning and Teaching of Chemistry in the Undergraduate Classroom

    Författare :Ilana A. Manneh; Karim Hamza; Carl-Johan Rundgren; Lars Eriksson; Ingo Eilks; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; undergraduate chemistry education; learning and teaching processes; didactic triangle; chemical bonding; tutor-student interaction; practical epistemology analysis; continuity; progression; purposes; naturvetenskapsämnenas didaktik; Science Education;

    Sammanfattning : There is agreement in research about the need to find better ways of teaching chemistry to enhance students’ understanding. This thesis aims to contribute to the understanding of how we better support teaching and learning of undergraduate chemistry to make it meaningful and intelligible for students from the outset.

  5. 4. The fundamental theorem of calculus : a case study into the didactic transposition of proof

    Författare :Anna Klisinska; Uwe Gellert; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Mathematics Education; Matematik och lärande;

    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

  7. 5. Brain-based teaching : behavioral and neuro-cognitive evidence for the power of test-enhanced learning

    Författare :Carola Wiklund-Hörnqvist; Bert Jonsson; Lars Nyberg; Linnea Karlsson; Jeffrey D. Karpicke; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; learning; memory; memory processes; the testing effect; test-enhanced learning; retrieval practice; evidence-based teaching methods; neuro-cognitive processes; working memory; memory strength; semantic elaboration; Psychology; psykologi;

    Sammanfattning : A primary goal of education is the acquisition of durable knowledge which challenges the use of efficient pedagogical methods of how to best facilitate learning. Research in cognitive psychology has demonstrated that repeated testing during the learning phase improves performance on later retention tests compared to restudy of material. LÄS MER
