On concept images of monotonicity of Finnish secondary students – with comparison and reference to tertiary students
2017
Master's thesis Mathematics Education MA502 - University of Agder 2017 This study is titled “On concept images of monotonicity of Finnish secondary students – with comparison and reference to tertiary students”. The aim is to examine: (1) What kind of aspects of monotonicity are present and, possibly, dominant in the upper secondary school students’ (advanced level) concept images? (2) What are the most typical misconceptions and deficiencies in mathematical reasoning that the participants have concerning monotonicity? (3) To what extent do the results and answers to (1) and (2) compare with the results of university students? This thesis makes use of the study of Tossavainen, Haukkanen and…

2017
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2017 In this study I have looked at a sample of tenth graders and the types of strategies they apply while attempting to solve three problem solving tasks in mathematics. According to the national Norwegian mathematics curriculum, students are supposed to be able to apply problem solving strategies flexibly and efficiently by the time they finish grade 10. My impression is that mathematics teachers in general tend to put more emphasis on other goals and learning outcomes, the ones that will be tested in particular. With that as a backdrop, I wanted to investigate how students undertake different kinds of problem solving tasks; …
Motivasjon ved bruk av digitale verktøy : Hvordan kan bruk av digitale verktøy påvirke motivasjonen til elevene i matematikk?
2017
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2017 The theme for this master study is motivation related to the use of digital tools. In this thesis, motivation is about what motives lie behind the pupils’ behaviour, and what influences the pupils to act a certain way The aim with this study is to see if the pupils’ motivation is influenced by using digital tool in mathematics education. My research question is: How can the use of digital tools influence the pupils’ motivation in mathematics? In order to answer this, I have looked at the following questions: 1. Is there a connection between the pupils’ understanding of mathematical concepts and the pupils’ motivation in ma…

2021
Master's thesis in Mathematics education (MA502) The purpose of this thesis is to gain insight into the mathematics teacher students' level of knowledge in personal finance. Their self-assessment of knowledge level is also examined. In addition, which source of knowledge they believe they have gained the most knowledge from, will be investigated. Their knowledge will be examined in the light of a social constructivist view of learning throughout the study, Their level of knowledge is examined with regard to several chosen concepts that fall under personal finance. The selection of concepts is based on Fagfornyelsen (LK20). Quantitative data have been collected using questionnaires. The resp…
Relations between reading comprehension and mathematical word problems of varying complexities : A cross-sectional study of the Norwegian national te…
2021
Master's thesis in Mathematics education (MA502) This thesis aims to investigate the relationships between reading comprehension and mathematical word problems of varying complexity. There exist numerous studies on this relationship(Abedi & Lord, 2001; Bergqvist et al., 2018; Cummins et al., 1988; Greer, 1997; Maagerø & Skjelbred, 2010; Martiniello, 2008; G. Nortvedt, 2009; Verschaffel et al., 2000; Vilenius‐Tuohimaa et al., 2008), with differences in both thematic and research design levels. Most use a quantitative approach to their research question, while some complements with students’ perspectives, thoughts, and solution processes. My study is a quantitative, cross-sectional study exam…
Kognitive krav og forståelse av funksjoner : En studie av oppgaver i to lærebøker i Matematikk 1P
2019
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2019 The purpose of this study is to investigate how demanding tasks given in schooltextbooks and written exam in the subject Matematikk 1Pare. I havestudied tasks given within the subject of functions, andhow the tasks allowfor a rich understanding of functions. Mathematics is a subjectwhere the textbook is an important source ofboth information and tasks. It is therefore importantthat these tasks are adapted to the students’different levels,and that they provide theopportunity for good understanding. This study aims to give an answer to the following research questions: -AT which cognitive levels are the students challenged i…

Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2019 The purpose of this study is to gain insightinto teachers use of resources in teachingwhen working withequationsandlow-achievingpupils. The research questionis:Whichresources does the teacher use in teaching with equations towards thelow-achievementpupils in 8thgrade?The theoretical framework used in this study explains the concepts of resources, algebra in school and adapted education. Several definitions and concepts of resources are discussed and defined.These includematerial resources, cultural resources and knowledge resources.A part of the theoretical framework are the four knowledge resources illuminated by Adler (2…

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…

2019
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…
