Algebra at the start of Upper Secondary School : A case study of a Norwegian mathematics classroom with emphasis on the relationship between the math…
2017
Norwegian students at the end of lower secondary school are according to international comparative studies weak in algebra. This thesis reports a study of a mathematics classroom at the start of upper secondary school, when basic algebra, number, and number operations are recapitulated. One aim has been to study what kind of mathematics is emphasised. The analysis is done on the basis of the textbook, the tasks, and the presentation in the classroom. Another aim has been to inquire into what experiences students have of the mathematics offered in the classroom. Experiences are not directly accessible, but the analyses are based on students’ oral and written responses in the classroom and in…
Validation of measures for assessing management and evaluation skills in university professors
2010
We present the results of a validation process two scales to measure skills of teachers teaching in a public university in Mexico. The elements to consider in this project were checking to test the construct validity and reliability of the method of collection, as well as contributing to the technical dimension of the evaluation of teachers.
Understanding the teacher’s role in supporting students’ generalization when investigating sequences
2009
The aim of this paper is to analyse the teacher’s role in supporting students’ work in mathematical investigations, in particular, with one task which involves generalisation in sequences in the 8th grade, and the constraints the teacher faces when performing this role. The lessons were audio and video recorded and the teacher was interviewed in order to understand her options and perspectives about the classroom events. Five aspects of the teacher’s role have being identified regarding her support to students’ generalisation, namely, suggesting them to: display more steps in the sequence; draw a different representation, usually a table; establish a relation between the term and its positi…
Curriculum Development of a Health Informatics Master Course in Understanding Technology
2018
Education in health informatics is an important contribution to the digital transformation in health care services, and there is a need to combine health and technology competencies. Traditional ways with separation of health sciences and computer science have shortcomings, and there is need for individuals with a holistic view and relevant education background for improving the technology-supported clinical work processes. This paper presents how the curriculum was organised in a course in “Understanding Technology”, which was a part of a Master's Programme in Health Informatics. The course targeted different aspects of technology for students with a diverse background, and it was organise…
EDUCATIONAL METHODS FOR INTELLIGENT TUTORING SYSTEMS IN ILL-DEFINED DOMAINS
2012
In the development of e-learning, an increasing amount of attention is given to intelligent tutoring systems, i.e., systems that attempt to emulate the human methods and strategies of teaching. The current paper aims to show some of the ways in which educational methods can be implemented into such tutors, focusing on the most complex and challenging area - ill-defined domains, i.e., domains that lack a systematic solving approach.
An exploration of teaching and learning activities in mathematics flipped classrooms : A case study in an engineering program
2020
Paper I is not available as a part of the dissertation due to the copyright. Author´s accepted manuscript of the paper is available in AURA as a separate file: https://hdl.handle.net/11250/2655384. This research project is a case-study of three consecutive cohorts of engineering students being subject to the pedagogical approach of flipped classroom (Bergmann & Sams, 2012). The study, which is qualitative and based on a naturalistic research paradigm (Moschkovich & Brenner, 2000), considers various aspects of mathematical learning when students are subject to this new form of learner-centred teaching (Stephan, 2014). Research on Flipped Classroom (FC) has increased substantially during the …
Teaching Spanish Pragmatics through colloquial conversations
2017
This paper focus on the advantages of teaching and learning a foreign language with and through spoken discursive corpora, and especially colloquial and conversational ones. The benefits of developing oral competence and communicative skills in language learners using colloquial conversations will be exposed and discussed.
Overcoming the oblivion of technology in physics education
2008
Technology is generally viewed as ‘applied science’, that is to say, as something that comes ‘after’ science. This conception justifies the lack of attention paid to technology in science education, especially where physics education is concerned. In this chapter we question this simplistic view of the science-technology relationship, historically rooted in the unequal appreciation of intellectual and manual work, and we try to show how the absence of the technological dimension in science education contributes to a naïve and distorted view of science which deeply affects the necessary scientific and technological literacy of all citizens, as well as the preparation of the future scientists…
Visions of the agents involved in the design, dissemination and use of digital educational materials in Spanish educational portals
2019
ABSTRACT This article collects results of a broader study dedicated to the analysis of the visions of the agents and actors involved in the design, diffusion and use of the digital educational materials present in Spanish educational portals that offer services and educational resources. It is part of an R + D + i project, called “Digital School”, dedicated to the analysis of the production and use of digital didactic contents in schools. The main purpose of the article is to present the results of the visions of teachers, students and families about the digital materials present in the institutional portals of Galicia and Valencia, offering suggestions for their improvement. After a biblio…
Implementing citizen science programmes in the context of university gardens to promote pre-service teachers' scientific literacy: a study case on so…
2022
This work presents an assessment of pre-service teachers’ argumentative practice, after implementing a novel teaching-learning sequence on soil health including a citizen science programme, which was applied outdoors at the university garden. The sequence was implemented at five Spanish universities with 351 undergraduates studying Early Childhood and Primary Teacher Education. It posed a final assessment task consisting in a real-world situation that involved making decisions on science-related issues: students needed to argue whether it was possible to use a piece of land as a school garden, based on soil data provided in a variety of formats. To assess participants’ level of achievement,…
