Folkeeventyr og elevers eksistensielle søken : En studie av folkeeventyrenes bidrag til barns eksistensielle søken i et flerkulturelt klasserom
2019
Masteroppgave grunnskolelærerutdanning trinn 1-7 NO502 - Universitetet i Agder 2019 The research question for this master thesis is: “How can working with fairy tales in a multicultural classroom contribute to children ́s existential quest, and how is this expressed through a group of teachers ́ reflections?". In order to gain insight into the teachers' reflections, I have included the research questions:“How does the teachers ́ at a primary school use fairy tales in the Norwegian school subject, and how do they justify the value of working with fairy tales?”, “In what waycanthe use of fairy talesin teaching help facilitate adapted education?” and “How can the teacher influence the place of…
Dyskalkuli og tilrettelegging i matematikkfaget : Hvordan to australske lærere definerer dyskalkuli og hvordan deres definisjon påvirker egen tilrett…

Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2019 This paper is written as a master thesis in MA-502 at the University of Agder. The primary focus ofthis thesis is to investigate the effect the individual understanding of the dyscalculia diagnosis by two Australian teachers, has on their teaching methods. Their view of dyscalculia, their experiences with students with learning difficulties in mathematics, their teaching strategies and how they view and handle student’smathematics anxiety are then discussed in relation to relevant theory on dyscalculia and its components. Low response rates among potential interviewees and lacking knowledge of dyscalculia with the intervie…
En designstudie av rike oppgaver med utgangspunkt i autentiske broer i Agder
2019
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2019 This master’s thesis describes a study about designing mathematical tasks, starting from authentic bridges in the Agder region. The aim of the study was to design classroom tasks, which require pupils to employ all aspects of their mathematical proficiency (explained below). The empirical basis of the study was a classroom-based implementation of the tasks to evaluate what aspects of mathematical proficiency thehigh schoolpupils used when solving the tasks.As a mathematics teacher, I follow the current national curriculum. In 2020, there will come a new national curriculum, which describes new core elements (Utdanningsdire…
Problemløsning i videregående skole : En studie av resonnementene som kommer til uttrykk gjennom en 2P-Y- og en R1-gruppes arbeid med problemløsnings…

Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2018 The topic of this Master thesis is problem-solving in high school. To get an insight into how the problem-solving process can be described in high school I have, with socio-cultural glasses, assessed a problem-solving process in a 2P-Y group and a R1 group based on the research question: What mathematical reasoning is expressed in a 2P-Y- and a R1-group’s work on problem solving tasks, and which phases characterize the process? In my review of research literature, I came to realize that the research available on problem-solving was immense. Because of this, I had to restrict the theory presented so that it best answered th…

Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2019 “... a person often meets the challenge of solving a new mathematical problem state by creating rule-based but erroneous algorithms that lead to rational errors. These erroneous algorithms are the problem solver's attempt to create a reasonable solution in a relatively short period of time with minimal computational cost. In essence, the person's efforts are directed toward interpreting and adapting to the mathematical environment in much the same way that he or she would adapt to a social or physical environment.” (Ben-Zeev, 1998, s.378-379)Coordination between different representations in mathematics, as in this study re…
En studie av tilpasset opplæring i matematikk ved GLU 1-7
2018
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2018 The purpose of this study is to investigate how teacher education programmes are designed to provide the students with sufficient prerequisites to adapt their teaching for their own pupils when they have graduated as mathematics teachers. By graduated mathematics teachers, I mean the students who do not specialize in mathematics, but complete the Mathematics 1 course, which gives them the 30 compulsory credits in the subject. With the limitations of this thesis, I have chosen to consider a two-part research question: What are the study plans saying about adapted education for high and low achieving pupils in Mathematics 1 …
Lærerens bruk av ressurser i algebraundervisningen : En undersøkelse om tre læreres bruk av ressurser i algebraundervisningen på 8. trinn
2019
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2019 This is a research projectonteachers use of resources in algebra. Algebra is a large subject, and I have therefore decidedto focus on algebraic expressionsandhow the teacher introduces this subjectto their students. The term resource is a broad concept, and I have therefore chosen to clarify both the human and material resources being used by the teachers while tutoring.The research question I want to answer is: What resources do three teachers put into use in tasks concerningthe teaching of algebrain 8thgrade, and how do they use these resources? To answerthis, I have collecteddata materials based on three teachers. I hav…

Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2018 This master thesis intends to study preservice teachers at the teacher education master program grade 5-10 and their understanding of the concept of functions. The thesis attempts to answer two different research questions. The first question is: What understanding does the students at teacher education grade 5-10 hold of the concept of function, before they encounter the concept in their education? In this thesis understanding will be defined by Sierpinska (1992), Hiebert and Carpenter (1992) and Skemp (1987). To study the students’ understanding this study will use Vinner and Tall’s (1981) theory of concept image and DeM…

2019
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2019 This is a study of two classes —with their teachers and pupils —on 7. and 10. grade and their use of conversations in mathematics teaching. The survey shows the relationship between the teacher's methods in managing the conversation in mathematics teaching and student’s involvement in mathematics. Emphasis has been placed on how control over the outcome of the conversation is distributed between the teacher and the pupils in the respective classes and how the teacher positions themselves to distribute this control. It has been made an assessment of how students involve themselves in mathematics, this in the light of how th…
Sosiale og sosiomatematiske normer i inquiry-basert undervisning
2019
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2019 The study is a case study of qualitative design that addresses the social and sociomathematical norms attributed to the microculture of a 9th grade class at a school with the fictional name Bloksberg Skole. As a participatory observer for eight hours of mathematics classes, in which video recordings of entire hours are undertaken, conjectures related to classroom norms are written as field notes. In addition to observation, which makes up the bulk of the data material, teacher and group interviews are undertaken and used as supporting data. Conjectured norms prescribed in the fieldnotes are categorized and examined in the …
