Reasoning with paper and pencil: The role of inscriptions in student learning of geometric series
2009
The purpose of this article is to analyse how students use inscriptions as tools for thinking and learning in mathematical problem-solving activities. The empirical context is that of learning about geometric series in a small group setting. What has been analysed is how students made use of inscriptions, self-made as well as those provided by text books and teachers, and the role these inscriptions played in the coordination of students’ learning/communication. Through the use of inscriptions (made on the chalkboard and with paper and pencil), the students externalised their thinking while engaging in mathematical reasoning on the topic of geometric series. The inscriptions were significan…
Pedagogical criteria for successful use of wikis as collaborative writing tools in teacher education
2012
Published version of an article from the journal: International Proceedings of Economics Development and Research. Also available from the publisher: http://www.ipedr.com/vol27/3-IC4E%202012-F00002.pdf Wiki is a Web 2.0 technology that potentially promotes collaborative writing, group discussion and interaction. However, little research has been done as to which criteria are suitable to address pedagogical issues that are pertinent to collaborative writing with wikis. This paper proposes a set of pedagogical criteria to explore wiki-based collaborative writing. The criteria are then used to evaluate students’ perceptions of collaborative writing using MediaWiki. The paper also reports on pe…
Et introduksjonskurs til GeoGebra : en designstudie av introduksjonskurset med fokus på å lære å bruke i 1T i videregående skole
2016
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk – Universitetet i Agder 2016 As a teacher, I have observed over the past years a change in focus on the use of tools in the teaching of mathematics. Starting in spring 2015 the use of digital tools by students will be a requirement in the examinations in mathematics at high school level. This means that teachers must be even more aware of how we can best help our students to master the use of such tools while refining their understanding of mathematics. The aim of my study was to find a way to introduce GeoGebra (a mathematical tool with options for dynamic geometry, for plotting functions, and for CAS) to students in grade 11. The introduction should be su…
¿Mozart era un mutante?: propuestas didácticas sobre la música preexistente en el cine de superhéroes.
2019
Con el inicio del siglo XXI se produjo el comienzo de una edad dorada para el cine de superhéroes; especialmente, en las películas basadas en cómics de la editorial Marvel. Su éxito se debe, sobre todo, a la adaptación al cine del concepto de 'universo compartido', lo que permite mostrar personajes y situaciones interrelacionadas. Ello ofrece la opción de conectar con diversas promociones de alumnos, puesto que se trata de personajes presentes en los cines durante las últimas dos décadas. Como muestra de ello, en esta propuesta se incluirán fragmentos de dos películas distantes en el tiempo: 'X-Men 2' (2003) y 'Thor: Ragnarok' (2017). La popularidad creciente de estos filmes se ve intensifi…
The use of history in mathematics education: The case of posthumous twins
2018
Se presenta un estudio exploratorio sobre un tipo particular de problemas verbales descriptivos de larga tradición e importancia en el desarrollo del pensamiento matemático: el problema de los gemelos póstumos. La metodología que sustenta el estudio tiene dos vertientes complementarias: el análisis histórico epistemológico y el análisis didáctico en los libros de texto y manuales escolares. Con énfasis en la resolución de problemas, se resalta la importancia de integrar la historia y epistemología de las ideas matemáticas en la investigación educativa, para provecho de estudiantes y profesores. An exploratory study is presented on a particular type of descriptive word problems of long tradi…
Faculty Perception of Inclusion in the University: Concept, Policies and Educational Practices
2021
European universities must face the challenge of diversity and design inclusive practices to address it as part of their social responsibility. However, not all universities are doing the same in terms of diversity practices, so it is important to gather the perceptions of the protagonists. To this end, we have analysed university faculty’s perceptions using a mixed model with a concurrent methodological strategy, including an ad hoc questionnaire validated with 880 educators, as well as 17 semi‐structured interviews. The triangulation of these two instruments allowed us to analyse three key dimensions associated with the idea of attention to diversity in the university: diversity concept o…
Image Education and Didactics of Cultural Heritage. Graphic and Creative Workshops Within the Project “La Scuola Adotta La Città”
2023
Within the Laboratories of Drawing and Image Education activated by the Degree Courses in Educational Sciences of the Palermo University -and connected to the internships of future teachers-, various laboratory activities have been carried out over the years, with an integration between Museum Didactics, Didactics of the Cultural Heritage of the Territory and a creative approach to the artistic masterpiece. The students, under the supervision of the university tutors, were invited to propose, within the classes in which they were placed as trainee teachers, projects of workshop activities in which to experiment, in addition to the graphic learning of the work performed with creative re-appr…
Possibilità di adattamento dell’approccio della Flipped Classroom (FC) al Universal Design for Learning (UDL). La percezione dei docenti universitari
2019
This research is about Flipped Classroom (FC) implementation in university context and aims to understand how this approach can be used in a Universal Design for Learning (UDL) environment and thus can help in creating inclusive spaces of teaching and learning. This work is an exploratory sequential design and will compare Flipped Classroom’s characteristics at university and UDL ones, in order to try and integrate these two approaches in the instructional practice. During the first phase of the study, in-depth semi-structured interviews were undertaken with academics that actually use Flipped Classroom. Then, in the second phase, a structured questionnaire built on interviews’ retrieved da…
Profiling in-service teachers across Europe to determine their attitude to IBSE
2013
The ESTABLISH FP7-funded project is involved with development and implementation of professional development workshops to support teachers in adopting more inquiry based approaches in their teaching. Identifying teacher views, goals, practices and the challenges they face in implementing inquiry activities, can inform teacher educators of the needs of their participating teachers. This can also inform them to provide the appropriate support in order to help teachers overcome obstacles and develop their own practice in inquiry. This paper outlines the initial results from a profiling instrument used to examine teachers’ beliefs about IBSE, attitudes to teaching science and teaching by inquir…
