Kontinuitetsbegrepet : En lærebokanalyse om behandlingen av kontinuitet i videregående skole
2019
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2019 The theory on complex numbers is often considered too complicated for upper secondary students.Because of that, students are told that it is not possible to calculate the square root of negative num-bers. For a similar reason, the formal definition of limits and continuity are not introduced in uppersecondary school. I believe it is not beneficial to withhold knowledge that may be concidered to be “toocomplicated”. On the contrary, I believe that students can become curious and motivated, if given anuncensored view into the world of mathematics.This thesis deals with the notion of continuity and will attempt to answer the …
Videregående skoleelevers utfordringer med tekstoppgaver : En studie av 1P elevers utfordringer med tekstoppgaver i matematikk som krever dybdeanalyse
2018
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2018 This Master thesis is entitled “Videregående skoleelevers utfordringer med tekstoppgaver: En studie av 1P elevers utfordringer med tekstoppgaver i matematikk som krever dybdeanalyse av teksten» («Challenges encountered by high-school students solving text-based exercises: A study of 1P (P stands for Practical mathematics) students’ challenges with text-based exercises in maths which require in-depth analysis of the text”). Text-based exercises are often used in maths. Pupils are expected to draw out meaning from a text already after year 4 in primary school. Text-based exercisesare often used to describe a practical situat…
Problemløsning i en muntlig kontekst : En kvalitativ studie av elevers tilnærming til problemløsnings-prosess i matematikk
2019
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2019 The theme and focus of this thesis has been to study which strategies students use in conversation based on a problem-solving task in mathematics, which is presented to the student, but also which mathematical competence they use in the solvingprocess. The following research questions have been the basis for this study; 1What strategies do students use in solving a problem solving tasks in mathematics? 2What importance does the student's mathematical competence have for the pupil'sparticipation in aproblem-solving process?The theoretical framework that underlies this study is the socio-cultural learning theory in which Vyg…
Kjønnsforskjeller i matematikk : Hvilke holdninger har gutter og jenter i ungdomsskolen til matematikk-faget?
2019
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2019 The topicfor thismaster thesis is: “Gender differences in mathematics” andthe research-questionis: “Which attitudes do boys and girls have in lower secondary school towards mathematics?”. In order toanswer this research-question,a triangulation of methods has been used through: interview with sixpupils, survey with 151 respondents and 99 pupils have taken a test. The selection in this study consisted of fiveclasses in 8thgrade, twoclasses in 9thgrade and twoclasses in 10thgrade. Previously, this is a subject that has a lot of research within, but there no clear answers on pupils’attitude towards mathematicsin lower seconda…
Lekbasert læring og undervisning av matematikk på 2. og 3.trinn
2021
Master's thesis in Mathematics education (MA502) This study is a qualitative case study which examines 1) two teachers’ perceptions of play, the role of play, and play-based mathematics teaching, and 2) how they facilitate play-based learning of mathematics in 2nd and 3rd grade.The background for this study is that play has a more prominent role in LK20, and I have chosen teachers that have experience with play-based mathematics teaching as my informants. The methods used in this study are individual interviews and then observations of the teachers with their students. The purpose of the interviews was to answer the first research question. The observations were meant to give insight into h…

Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2019 Thisthesis studiesnegative numbers and how students explain their ways of thinking and methods in working with these numbers. Through literature studies and a case study of secondary school students in the 8th grade, the aim is to provide answers to the following research questions:•What characterizes four studentsin 8thgrade and their work on negative numbers?•In what ways do four8thgradestudents explain their approach to working on negative numbers?The theoretical framework of this thesis is based on a sociocultural learning theoryand the aspects for learning that this view is based on. The use of artifacts, mediation an…

Master's thesis in Mathematics education (MA502) The national lockdown of schools, as a consequence of the corona pandemic, the12th of March 2020 was the starting point for 10 weeks of fully-online lectures and home schooling. With this starting point we have investigated how the COVID-19 lockdown affected teachers’ approach to education promoting relational understanding in mathematics, and pupils’ motivation for mathematics. Our two research questions were: 1. How did teachers’ approach to education promoting relational understand in mathematics change due to restrictions caused by the COVID-19 lockdown? 2. How did fully-online teaching during the COVID-19 lockdown affect pupils’ motivati…
Lekbasert læring i matematikk på 2. trinn : En studie av elevers deltakelse i lekaktiviteter og deres læring av matematikk gjennom dette
2021
Master's thesis in Mathematics education (MA502) This study is about playful teaching in mathematics in the second grade. The aim of the study is to judge whether a total of eight activities can be seen as playful, and if they contain aspects of mathematics. Another aim of this study is to look at how the pupil experiences these activities. The study is based on a socio-cultural perspective on learning. I have adopted a qualitative case study as my approach of the study, and my methods for data collection is observation and interview. The observation lasted to weeks and included a total of five days. I used field notes during this observation. I conducted two interviews with a total of four…
