En studie av virkelighetsnær oppgave i matematikk : Ungdomsskoleelevers respons på undervisningsaktivitet som er tenkt å bli opplevd virkelighetsnært
2021
Master's thesis in Mathematics education (MA502) The purpose of this study is to look at how students in junior high school experience working with realistic tasks in mathematics with personal finance as a topic. To gain an insight into this, I have formulated a research question that I want to investigate through this study: Do the students experience the task formulation as close to reality, and what is it that contributes to it? To investigate this, I will in this study see the teaching through sociocultural glasses, where the theory of authenticity, boundary object, boundary crossing, motivation and exploratory learning are in focus. This was a qualitative study where I performed the ta…
Geogebra for læring? : Elevers bruk av geogebra for utforskning - En sammenliknende case-studie av elevarbeid med og uten GeoGebra
2021
Master's thesis in Mathematics education (MA502) In the new curriculum, LK20, digital skills are defined as a basic skill. It is important for teachers to be able to make reasoned assessments of how digital aids affect students' work in order to use them as a mediating tool when teaching. The study examines how the use of geogebra affects students' work with exploratory problems in mathematics. This has been investigated on the basis of these research questions: -What differences do we find in the dialogue between the student groups with and without digital aids? -How do students use geogebra to build on the discoveries they make during the work? The transcript of the dialogue from the work…
Design og bruk av modelleringsoppgaver i klasserommet : En forskningsstudie om hvordan en designer modelleringsoppgaver
2021
Master's thesis in Mathematics education (MA502) Modeling is a mathematical skill that connects mathematics to the real world. Mathematical modeling has been a part of the new curriculum, LK20. Modeling will therefore get an extra attention in the teaching the mathematical competence of modeling. This is challenging for both teachers and students, and one of the reasons that it has not been prioritized in teaching mathematics. To teach modeling it requires good tasks to use in the classroom that challenge students on all level. In this study I investigated teaching modeling in the classroom with the research question: (1) How to model task that students can feel relevant and meaningful? (2)…
Ungdomsskoleelevers oppfatninger av omvendt undervisning i matematikk
2021
Master's thesis in Mathematics education (MA502) Technology is constantly evolving in society. Teachers must, in step with society’s technological development, be able to use new digital resources in order to give students the best possible learning outcome. The purpose of this study is to acquire a deeper insight into students’ beliefs of a teaching method that uses digital resources, namely flipped classroom. The research question in this master’s thesis is: How do secondary school students perceive flipped classroom in mathematics? To answer the research question, I have chosen a qualitative research method. Qualitative data were obtained through six interviews and observation of a teach…
Programmering i matematikk – muligheter og utfordringer : En studie rundt innføringen av programmering som del av matematikkfaget i den norske skolen…
2019
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2019 Elaboration and renewal of the Norwegian curricula have givenopportunities to provide feedback through consultation inputs on the drafts for both the core elements and the curriculum itself. After the first draft of the core elements of mathematics was submitted for consultation, it was stated that programming would become part of the mathematics subject. This created a lot of debate, and the summary of the consultation input showed that there was great opposition to this in many of the academic communities in Norway. However, Norway is late in introducing programming in the curriculum compared to many other countries in E…
Matematikklærere om programmering : En studie av læreres vurdering av hvordan materiell og innsikt fra super:bit skole kan være nyttig i egen undervi…
2020
Master's thesis in Mathematics education (MA502) The background of this master thesis is the new curriculum, where programming will be included in mathematics. The Norwegian Directorate for Education and Training has through the initiative of the “Den teknologiske skolesekken” allocated funds for the project named super:bit. The aim of super:bit is to increase the students and teachers’ competence in programming.I have operated with two research questions during the work with this thesis:1) How do mathematicsteachers considersuper:bit?2) In what way do the teachers who participated in super:bit,use theirinsights and material in their own teaching?In thisthesis, qualitative and quantitative …
Elevanes oppleving av inquiry-basert digital matematikkundervisning
2018
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2018 This master thesis is titled "Pupils experience of inquiry-based digital mathematics teaching", and is about the point of intersection points between the students, inquiry-approach and digital tools. The aim of the study is to find out which characterizes a teaching situation that has an inquiry-approach in mathematics teaching and how does pupils experience inquiry-based mathematics teaching with the smooth use of digital tools an inquiry-approach. The assignment is part of the DIM-project, Digital Interactive Mathematics Teaching (nor. Digital Interaktiv Matematiskkundervisning) 2015-2018, which is a collaboration betwee…
Relevansen av trigonometri : En studie i to deler på relevansen av trigonometri for elever på videregående skole
2017
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2017 The topic of this master’s thesis is the relevance of mathematics, especially the relevance of trigonometry. Many students ask the question “why do I need to learn about this”. The aim of this study was to give the students an answer to this question. In the research literature, I found that this question has to do with relevance, and that relevance is a connection between people, an activity and future goals. In particular, one needs to question: relevance of what? relevance according to whom? relevance for whom? And relevance to what end? The empirical part of my research consisted of two studies. In Study 1 the purpose …
Veien fra Bee-Bot til Scratch : En casestudie om hvilke kunnskaper elevene sitter igjen med etter å ha prøvd to ulike programmeringsverktøy
2019
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2019 The way from Bee-Bot to Scratchis a case study that looks at what competencies the pupilsmanage to pass from anobject programminglanuageto a computer-based programming language.Because programming comes under the core elements of mathematics in the new curriculum that is initiated in the autumn of 2020, I have chosen this research question: "Can the pupils' programming knowledgefrom Bee-Bot be transferred to Scratch in a mathematics session,focusing on computational thinkingand creativity?" The study therefore focusesat howmuch of the various topicsemerge and which competences the pupils manage to pass on from the programm…
Students’ perception of infinity : Perception, obstacles, conception
2017
Master's thesis Mathematics Education MA502 - University of Agder 2017 Several studies in mathematics education have shown that students face significant difficulties for understanding the concept of infinity. The purpose of this study is to suggest an explanation of how students understand the concept of infinity and identify the difficulties for understanding it. Explanation will be given through an investigation on the following aspects of understanding and the implementation of the corresponding theoretical background: i) primary perception in terms of Singer and Voica’s(2008) categories and secondary perception in the context of comparison of infinite sets ii) obstacles in coming to un…
