S1 elevers bruk av fortegnsskjema som medierende redskap i arbeid med andregradsulikheter og polynomfunksjoner : En case-studie
2019
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2019 This is a study of S1-students' use ofsign-chart as a mediating tool. The aim of the study is to determine the challenges and thebenefitsS1-students have with the use of sign-chart. To accomplish this goal, I have formulated the following research questions:What characterizes four S1-students' use of sign-chart in the resolution of second-degree inequalities and discussion of polynomial functions?I relate to a sociocultural perspective on learning and development. From this perspective, the sign-chart that students use is considered a mediating tool. According to a sociocultural perspective, tools and their meditating func…

Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2018 This study is about adapted education in mathematics for giftedpupils in the upper primary level. The aimis to revealfive teacher ́s knowledge on adaptions for this particular group of pupils. The study ́s research question is: What knowledge and practices exists among Norwegian teachers that address gifted pupils and the teaching adapted for them?In the review of theory and research, it appears thatmany different terms are used to label this group of pupils and that a lot of available knowledge is not rooted in empirical studies. An overviewcovering the different terms will be presented and will explain the meaning of a g…

Master's thesis in Mathematics education (MA502) The new Norwegian curriculum of 2020 has an increased focus on interdisciplinary education. In addition, numeracy is one of five basic skills all subjects are supposed to help the students develop. An important question is, therefore, how this interdisciplinarity should be implemented into the teaching. Therefore, I set my study at the crossroad of social studies and mathematics in high school, with the consideration that social and political decisions are increasingly based on data and the technological development enables us to collect and visualize massive sets of data, known as big data. This have led to a greater need for students to be …
Tallene 0.999... og 1 : Matematikklærerstudenters forståelse av grenseverdibegrepet
2019
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2019 The limit concept is a central concept in mathematics, especially in calculus.A good understanding of this concept is therefore important in orderto understand other concepts like differentiation and integration. Despitethis, students’ understanding og this concept often vary from the formalmathematical definition. It is therefore interesting and important to gainan overview and understanding of how students’ concept image may looklike, that you may teach accordingly. Just as important is it to gain insightinto how the concept images of pre-service mathematics teachers may looklike, because it will to a large degree affect…

Master's thesis in Mathematics education (MA502) The purpose of this study is to learn more about how a teacher can foster a growth mindset in a classroom. I aim to seek insight into how the teachers I observed and interviewed work to encourage this mindset in their students. The research question for this study is: “How can a teacher foster a growth mindset in a classroom, so that the students accept their mathematical mistakes as a medium for future learning? ”This thesis aims to answer this question using two perspectives. Firstly, by taking a look at the teacher's practice in the classroom alongside theories on mindset and mistakes, but also in light of a sociomathematical classroom whe…

The study was based on these research questions: 1)How do eight-degreestudents justify and reason in tasks with division of fractions?a)Which representations areused and how aretheyused in the students ́justification and reasoning? b)Which errors and misconceptionsoccur in students ́justification and …
En studie av ingeniørstudenters erfaringer med et kurs i kalkulus
2019
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2019 Thisstudyis done on a group of engineering students. It was aimed at examining their experiences with a course incalculus held at their first semester. The motivation for doing this is that this course for several years has had a high failurerate. The focus will beon the students’experiences related to learningresources, as well ashow their background(both their mathematical background, but also thetransition from upper secondary schoolto university in general)influencestheir experiences of the course.The learning resources in focus islectures, group sessions, textbooks as well as a drop-in-center for guidance in mathemati…

Hat for matematikk : En kartlegging av tre voksnes hat for matematikk
2019
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2019 This research is a qualitative case study with the aim to canvas individuals’ hate towards maths. Hate is not a feeling one is born with and is something that arises unconsciously as a consequence of different experiences and acts. Social factors like how one interacts with fellow pupils are therefore essential to this kind of research, and is focused upon in the sociocultural learning theory. This research also contains other feelings connected to hate. This is because hate is created by other negative feelings and what creates these feelings will therefore be examined. There is also a theoretical basis that focuses on te…
