En casestudie av hvordan spenninger i og mellom praksisskole og universitet har innvirkninger på en matematikklærerstudents utvikling av matematikklæ…

Master's thesis in Mathematics education (MA502) At the center of this study is a teacher student who is about to participate in six-week internship at an upper secondary school. The process of becoming a mathematics teacher involves an identity development that takes place in collaboration between the university and practice schools. In this study, I will identify tensions that a mathematics teacher student encounters in teacher practice and look at how his reflections on his experiences during this period indicate the development of mathematics teacher identity. This is a case study, I have conducted three semi-structured interviews and observed two teaching sessions. The first interview …
Undervisningsvideo i matematikk : En casestudie av en lærer og en gruppe elevers syn på god undervisningsvideo i matematikk
2021
Master's thesis in Mathematics education (MA502) The aim of this thesis is to examine what a teacher and a group of students in middle school look for in a good educational video. The research questions are: 1. “What does a group of students at middle school look for in a good educational video in mathematics?” 2. “What does a teacher at middle school look for in a good educational video in mathematics?”. The theoretical framework I have used in this thesis is mainly Richard Mayer's theory of multimedia learning, and his principles for how to design a multimedia instruction. The survey is a case study and has a mixed research method, where I have collected data through a questionnaire from …
DVM-U som verktøy for lærere
2018
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2018 Digital learning tools comes in different forms, and a common factor for them is that their goal is to be a tool that helps in students learning process. For this occasion will I take a look at «Den Virtuelle Matematikkskolen» (DVM-U) (translates to «The Virtual Mathematics School») for students with low goal achievement. The purpose of DVM-U is described like this: «The target is that innovative, interactive and new learning forms will stimulate the students to perform better, and achieve higher results in the subject» (Dvm-Prosjektet, 2013) There are also versions called DVM-1T, and DVM-Pluss for students with high goal …
En studie av virkelighetsnær oppgave i matematikk : Ungdomsskoleelevers respons på undervisningsaktivitet som er tenkt å bli opplevd virkelighetsnært
2021
Master's thesis in Mathematics education (MA502) The purpose of this study is to look at how students in junior high school experience working with realistic tasks in mathematics with personal finance as a topic. To gain an insight into this, I have formulated a research question that I want to investigate through this study: Do the students experience the task formulation as close to reality, and what is it that contributes to it? To investigate this, I will in this study see the teaching through sociocultural glasses, where the theory of authenticity, boundary object, boundary crossing, motivation and exploratory learning are in focus. This was a qualitative study where I performed the ta…
Geogebra for læring? : Elevers bruk av geogebra for utforskning - En sammenliknende case-studie av elevarbeid med og uten GeoGebra
2021
Master's thesis in Mathematics education (MA502) In the new curriculum, LK20, digital skills are defined as a basic skill. It is important for teachers to be able to make reasoned assessments of how digital aids affect students' work in order to use them as a mediating tool when teaching. The study examines how the use of geogebra affects students' work with exploratory problems in mathematics. This has been investigated on the basis of these research questions: -What differences do we find in the dialogue between the student groups with and without digital aids? -How do students use geogebra to build on the discoveries they make during the work? The transcript of the dialogue from the work…
Design og bruk av modelleringsoppgaver i klasserommet : En forskningsstudie om hvordan en designer modelleringsoppgaver
2021
Master's thesis in Mathematics education (MA502) Modeling is a mathematical skill that connects mathematics to the real world. Mathematical modeling has been a part of the new curriculum, LK20. Modeling will therefore get an extra attention in the teaching the mathematical competence of modeling. This is challenging for both teachers and students, and one of the reasons that it has not been prioritized in teaching mathematics. To teach modeling it requires good tasks to use in the classroom that challenge students on all level. In this study I investigated teaching modeling in the classroom with the research question: (1) How to model task that students can feel relevant and meaningful? (2)…
Ungdomsskoleelevers oppfatninger av omvendt undervisning i matematikk
2021
Master's thesis in Mathematics education (MA502) Technology is constantly evolving in society. Teachers must, in step with society’s technological development, be able to use new digital resources in order to give students the best possible learning outcome. The purpose of this study is to acquire a deeper insight into students’ beliefs of a teaching method that uses digital resources, namely flipped classroom. The research question in this master’s thesis is: How do secondary school students perceive flipped classroom in mathematics? To answer the research question, I have chosen a qualitative research method. Qualitative data were obtained through six interviews and observation of a teach…
Programmering i matematikk – muligheter og utfordringer : En studie rundt innføringen av programmering som del av matematikkfaget i den norske skolen…
2019
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2019 Elaboration and renewal of the Norwegian curricula have givenopportunities to provide feedback through consultation inputs on the drafts for both the core elements and the curriculum itself. After the first draft of the core elements of mathematics was submitted for consultation, it was stated that programming would become part of the mathematics subject. This created a lot of debate, and the summary of the consultation input showed that there was great opposition to this in many of the academic communities in Norway. However, Norway is late in introducing programming in the curriculum compared to many other countries in E…
Matematikklærere om programmering : En studie av læreres vurdering av hvordan materiell og innsikt fra super:bit skole kan være nyttig i egen undervi…
2020
Master's thesis in Mathematics education (MA502) The background of this master thesis is the new curriculum, where programming will be included in mathematics. The Norwegian Directorate for Education and Training has through the initiative of the “Den teknologiske skolesekken” allocated funds for the project named super:bit. The aim of super:bit is to increase the students and teachers’ competence in programming.I have operated with two research questions during the work with this thesis:1) How do mathematicsteachers considersuper:bit?2) In what way do the teachers who participated in super:bit,use theirinsights and material in their own teaching?In thisthesis, qualitative and quantitative …
Elevanes oppleving av inquiry-basert digital matematikkundervisning
2018
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2018 This master thesis is titled "Pupils experience of inquiry-based digital mathematics teaching", and is about the point of intersection points between the students, inquiry-approach and digital tools. The aim of the study is to find out which characterizes a teaching situation that has an inquiry-approach in mathematics teaching and how does pupils experience inquiry-based mathematics teaching with the smooth use of digital tools an inquiry-approach. The assignment is part of the DIM-project, Digital Interactive Mathematics Teaching (nor. Digital Interaktiv Matematiskkundervisning) 2015-2018, which is a collaboration betwee…
