Leonardo da Vinci : en studie av renessansens universalgenis matematikk
2007
Masteroppgave i matematikkdidaktikk - Universitetet i Agder 2007 I første del av oppgaven skisserer jeg hvilken plass matematikkens historie har hatt og har i skolehverdagen. At den i dag har en mer sentral plass enn tidligere virker klart, og jeg redegjør for hvilke tanker som ligger bak denne implementeringen. Videre gjengir jeg i korte trekk Leonardo da Vincis liv og samtid, der jeg prøver å skape en forståelse for hvilken livssituasjon og sosial kontekst som kan ha preget hans interesser og arbeid. Deretter vektlegges hans matematiske virke, der jeg kort gjør rede for hvilke områder han arbeidet med innen matematikk. Jeg har valgt å avgrense denne oppgaven til kun å omhandle da Vincis ”…
Elevers strategier for å løse multiplikasjon i 5. trinn. Lesson study for lærere : en case studie
2007
Masteroppgave i matematikkdidaktikk - Universitetet i Agder 2007 Denne oppgaven handler om multiplikasjon ved 5. trinn i barneskolen. Jeg vil undersøke forskjellige løsningsstrategier og feil som dukker opp i forbindelse med innføringen av en standard algoritme i multiplikasjon. I tillegg til multiplikasjon har jeg valgt å utføre et lesson study forsøk sammen med lærerne på det utvalgte trinnet. Etter å ha sett video og lest om denne japanske metoden ønsker jeg å finne ut av hvordan den kan fungere i norsk skole og kultur. Så oppgaven vil bevege seg i to perspektiver, både det matematiske temaet og organiseringen av en lesson study. Forskningsspørsmålene er: • Hvilke typer løsningsstrategie…
Interactive Whiteboard og Geometri : en studie av en lærers begynnende bruk av interactive whiteboard i undervisningen av geometri i faget RI ved en …
2008
Masteroppgave i matematikkdidaktikk - Universitetet i Agder 2008 Temaet for denne masteroppgaven er bruken av Interactive Whiteboard i undervisningen av geometri i faget R1 ved en videregående skole. I denne sammenheng har jeg sett nærmere på en lærers begynnende bruk av denne teknologien i kombinasjon med et dynamisk geometriprogram. Målet med denne studien har vært å se på hvordan man kan bruke interactive whiteboard for å fremme elevdeltakelse i undervisningen av geometri i faget R1 ved en videregående skole. I denne sammenheng har jeg også sett på hvilke gevinster en slik undervisning kan gi med tanke på muligheter til kommunikasjon, læring og undervisning. Jeg har også sett på utfordri…
Improving understanding of logarithms by using the approach of repeated division
2016
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk – Universitetet i Agder 2016 Empirical evidence from research (Chua & Wood, 2005) and my own experience as a teacher point to the difficulties in teaching logarithms in schools. Students find logarithm related questions difficult. They see ‘log’ as a common factor in expression log𝑥+log𝑦 and write it as log(𝑥+𝑦). Students have difficulty in recognizing logarithm as a number (Berezovski & Zazkis, 2006). This research aims to develop an approach that enhances students’ performance, conceptual understanding and retention of logarithms. It is hoped that the approach could be used to reduce the problems faced by the students. In this research, I used a mixed…
Perceptions of Colombian Teachers about the Didactics of Social Sciences
2022
The article seeks to answer the question about the perceptions that teachers have in training and in practice on the didactics of the social sciences in Colombia. To this end, a method with an interpretative approach with a mixed design is used to integrate the quantitative and qualitative analysis of the data produced on these perceptions in the context of basic and secondary education. The results present from the perceptions of teachers some correlations between the didactics they claim to use and the way in which it is expressed in their pedagogical practice. The conclusions contribute to the design, implementation, and evaluation of educational policies in education, especially those a…
The Limit Notion at Three Educational Levels in Three Countries
2022
AbstractThis paper documents how the limit concept is treated in high school, at a university and in teacher education in England, France and Sweden. To this end we make use of vignettes, data-grounded accounts of the situation at the three levels in the three countries. These are analysed using the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic (ATD). While university praxeologies are relatively similar across the three countries, greater differences manifest themselves in high school and teacher education. For instance, at the high school level, in France a local praxeology on the limits of sequences is taught, which is not the case in England or Sweden. Results from the analysis of limits are ex…
Geoscience Teaching and Student Interest in Secondary Schools-Preliminary Results from an Interest Research in Greece, Spain and Italy.
2013
The results of a topic-interest study on geosciences among 14- to 17-year-old school students are reported. The research was organized in the framework of the European project Geoschools to investigate the interest of students in the context of teaching strategies for geosciences in secondary schools. A questionnaire was designed as the main data-collection tool, based on the results of a comparison on geosciences curricula among the five European countries (Austria, Greece, Portugal, Italy, and Spain) which are the partners in the GEOschools project. The present study focuses on results from Greece and Spain but also includes preliminary results from Italy, for comparison purposes. Questio…
QUALITY OF INCLUSIVE EDUCATION, OBSTACLES AND NECESSARY PEDAGOGICAL SOLUTIONS IN WORKING WITH PUPILS WITH AUTISM IN ITALY
2018
Nowadays are increasingly encountered children diagnosed with autism, but there are still serious problems of inclusion of these children in the comprehensive general education system. This is due to various factors. The author of this study many years is working in the schools of special education in Rome, so in the year 2010 started research on inclusion of pupils with autism into the Italian schools. The idea is to transmit the author's knowledge and experience further in Latvia, where inclusion of such pupils into general education schools is still at an early stage because of a lack of both human resources and financial resources, as well in regard of experience and clear understanding…
Prospective mathematics teachers’ self-referential metaphors as indicators of the emerging professional identity
2019
Ideals play a key role in a student teachers’ identity work. They form targets to strive for and a mirror for reflection. In this paper, we examine Finnish mathematics student teachers’ metaphors for the teacher’s role (N= 188). We classified the metaphors according to a model that identified teachers as subject matter experts, didactical experts, and pedagogical experts, with the addition of another two categories, self-referential and contextual. For the exploration of emerging professional identities, we studied the self-referential metaphors, which formed the most common category in the data. We observed that every third metaphor described either student teachers’ personalities or their…
Photography as a historical source in the classroom. Assessment of a methodology for teaching History in Higher Education
2020
El presente artículo analiza una metodología activa centrada en el uso de fuentes históricas, en este caso la fotografía, para la enseñanza de la Historia en la Educación Superior. La propuesta analizada se llevó a cabo en la asignatura Didáctica de las Ciencias Sociales: Historia del Grado de Maestro en Educación Primaria de la Universidad de Alicante. Los datos obtenidos han sido tratados de forma cualitativa y han permitido conocer, además, la percepción del alumnado ante una nueva manera de trabajar contenidos históricos. Los resultados obtenidos confirman que la metodología que utiliza de forma adecuada la fotografía como fuente histórica incentiva el análisis y la reflexión sobre los …
