Employee opportunities for self-directed learning at technology organisations : features and frames of self-directed learning projects
2020
The importance of self-directed learning (SDL) in a business environment has been highlighted as a way to increase an organisation’s competitiveness and innovativeness. While organisations increasingly require SDL from employees, less attention is paid to the situations and frames enabling it. This study examines self-directed learning projects (SDLPs), situations in which SDL is realised as an individual or collective phenomenon. Based on ethnographic research, this study’s data consisted of field notes, field records and interviews. I used analysis of key incidents and ethnographic content analysis as an analytical tools. Four types of SDLPs was identified in the organisations studied: or…
Theatre as a Communicative Strategy for Teaching English as a Foreign Language to Primary Education Undergraduates: A Pedagogical Experience
2020
espanolComo profesores de lenguas estamos constantemente tratando de establecer un ambiente apropiado para que las cuatro destrezas se desarrollen plenamente a traves de actividades o ejercicios que implican un estimulo, ya que un idioma extranjero se aprende mas facilmente cuando los elementos utilizados para ensenar son mas atractivos. El teatro puede desempenar este papel, ya que es un genero educativo que se ha explorado para la ensenanza de lenguas desde el desarrollo del Enfoque Comunicativo. El proposito de este articulo, por tanto, es en primer lugar, examinar la efectividad del teatro en general con referencia a los numerosos argumentos a favor de la utilizacion de esta herramienta…
Graphic Medicine as a Didactic Tool for Training Medical Translators: a comparative analysis in French and Spanish
2021
The use of comics to communicate health-related topics has aroused growing interest in their translation from English, as well as from other languagessuch as French. Acknowledging the twofold challenge posed by a medium and a language combination that have seldom been explored in medical translation training, we will compare and contrast the Spanish translation of the French comic L’incroyable histoire de la médecine to make a didactic contribution to the training of medical translators. We will study the iconographic and textual codes present in the comic before presenting a proposal for its use in educational settings.
Læringspotensial i en digital interaktiv matematikkundervisning : en analyse av læringspotensialet i geometriundervisningen på 8. trinn med utstrakt …
2016
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk – Universitetet i Agder 2016 The theme of this master thesis is learning potential in mathematical tasks designed for geometry teaching in GeoGebra in 8th grade. This thesis is written in connection to the project Digital interactive mathematics teaching (DIM), where the goal is to create innovative mathematics teaching by using digital tools in a pedagogic context. Previous research has documented that students learning outcome of the teaching is largely influenced and limited by the tasks that are given. In this context analysis of the tasks learning potential is particular interesting. Therefore, my research question is: What learning potential is it in …
Den Virtuelle Matematikkskolen - Ungdomstrinnet : En studie av hvilke pedagogiske konsekvenser bruk av nettressursen DVM-U kan føre med seg
2016
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk – Universitetet i Agder 2016 Many lower secondary school students struggle with mathematics and with motivation in the subject. To improve student achievement and motivation in mathematics, The Norwegian Centre for ICT in Education and The Norwegian Centre for Mathematics Education have developed an online learning resource that contains mathematical examples, exercises and games, called The Virtual School of Mathematics – Lower Secondary (DVM-U). The Norwegian Centre for ICT in Education suggest that DVM-U can be used in preparation of a topic, or as something students can work with if they do not benefit on a satisfactory level from the classroom teaching…
Tilpasset opplæring i matematikk på ungdomsskolen : to læreres begrunnelser for sine tilpasninger
2016
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk – Universitetet i Agder 2016 The theme of this thesis is adapted education with an emphasis on adapting the teaching of mathematics. I have also decided to direct my attention toward students with low attainers. My research question is: "What arguments gives two mathematics teachers in their adaptations in teaching students with low attainers in middle school?" The study discusses how teachers adapt lessons to students with low attainers in the subject. The empirical basically are two mathematics teachers who teach in the same middle school. In this study I have used qualitative methods. The data is collected through a semi-structured interview. The aim has…
Ungdomsskoleelevers bruk av symboler i algebra
2016
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk – Universitetet i Agder 2016 The thesis investigates the challenges students in 10th grade face while learning algebra, algebraic symbols and how they assess the subject. With the use of a theoretical test and semistructured interviews, the thesis aims to answer the following research questions: 1. What challenges do students from lower secondary education encounter while learning algebra? 2. How do these students engage with algebra and what are their views and aspects towards the subject? The thesis serves primarily as a qualitative case study, of three students from lower secondary school. In addition, quantitative research methods have been undertaken b…
Pytagoras si setning på 10. trinn : ei analyse av tre lærebøkers framstilling og ein elevs bruk av ei av lærebøkene
2016
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk – Universitetet i Agder 2016 This text answers two research questions. The first research question is about how three different textbooks for grade 10 presents the Pythagorean theorem through different representations. These representations are geometric, algebraic and textual. The textbooks are Tetra, Faktor and Maximum. The precision of individual representations and the precision between representations is studied. The chronology in the presentation of the representations has also been studied. The conclusion is that the textbooks have different presentations of the Pythagorean theorem. A geometric representation is presented first in all three textbooks…
Problemløsning i matematikk : hvordan resonnerer elever på 9.trinn under arbeid med problemløsningsoppgaver i multiplikasjon?
2016
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk – Universitetet i Agder 2016 This is a qualitative case study, which highlights students' reasoning in problem solving. The research question is: How do students in 9th grade reason while working with problem solving tasks in multiplication. The purpose of this study is to investigate how students in 9th grade reason while working with problem solving tasks. More knowledge about students' reasoning in problem solving, can contribute to appropriate use of this in teaching. I defined two sub-questions that is attempted to be answered in the discussion. The two sub-questions are: 1. How do students´ reason and which strategies do they use? 2. How do problem so…
Emergenza Covid-19 e sviluppo della competenza metacognitiva dei docenti universitari neoassunti
2021
La spinta all’innovazione verso ambienti di apprendimento caratterizzati da un uso intensivo della tecnologia, determinata dalla crisi pandemica, costituisce una questione strategica per lo sviluppo dell’alta formazione. In questa direzione, la formazione e professionalizzazione del docente universitario sul versante pedagogico-didattico-valutativo rappresenta un’azione rilevante con potenziale impatto sul sistema universitario nel suo complesso che va oltre il periodo di emergenza COVID- 19. Il presente contributo si propone di indagare alcuni fattori utili alla programmazione di iniziative di faculty development specificatamente dedicate ai docenti neoassunti, finalizzate al miglioramento…
