Master's thesis in Mathematics education (MA502) This study is a qualitative case study which examines 1) two teachers’ perceptions of play, the role of play, and play-based mathematics teaching, and 2) how they facilitate play-based learning of mathematics in 2nd and 3rd grade.The background for this study is that play has a more prominent role in LK20, and I have chosen teachers that have experience with play-based mathematics teaching as my informants. The methods used in this study are individual interviews and then observations of the teachers with their students. The purpose of the interviews was to answer the first research question. The observations were meant to give insight into h…

Through literature studies and a case study of secondary school students in the 8th grade, the aim is to provide answers to the following research questions:•What characterizes four studentsin 8thgrade and their work on negative numbers?•In what ways do four8thgradestudents explain their approach to working on negative numbers?The theoretical framework of this thesis is based on a sociocultural learning theoryand the aspects for learning that this view is based on. The use of artifacts, mediation an…

Master's thesis in Mathematics education (MA502) The national lockdown of schools, as a consequence of the corona pandemic, the12th of March 2020 was the starting point for 10 weeks of fully-online lectures and home schooling. With this starting point we have investigated how the COVID-19 lockdown affected teachers’ approach to education promoting relational understanding in mathematics, and pupils’ motivation for mathematics. Our two research questions were: 1. How did teachers’ approach to education promoting relational understand in mathematics change due to restrictions caused by the COVID-19 lockdown? 2. How did fully-online teaching during the COVID-19 lockdown affect pupils’ motivati…
Lekbasert læring i matematikk på 2. trinn : En studie av elevers deltakelse i lekaktiviteter og deres læring av matematikk gjennom dette

Master's thesis in Mathematics education (MA502) This study is about playful teaching in mathematics in the second grade. The aim of the study is to judge whether a total of eight activities can be seen as playful, and if they contain aspects of mathematics. Another aim of this study is to look at how the pupil experiences these activities. The study is based on a socio-cultural perspective on learning. I have adopted a qualitative case study as my approach of the study, and my methods for data collection is observation and interview. The observation lasted to weeks and included a total of five days. I used field notes during this observation. I conducted two interviews with a total of four…
S1 elevers bruk av fortegnsskjema som medierende redskap i arbeid med andregradsulikheter og polynomfunksjoner : En case-studie
2019
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2019 This is a study of S1-students' use ofsign-chart as a mediating tool. The aim of the study is to determine the challenges and thebenefitsS1-students have with the use of sign-chart. To accomplish this goal, I have formulated the following research questions:What characterizes four S1-students' use of sign-chart in the resolution of second-degree inequalities and discussion of polynomial functions?I relate to a sociocultural perspective on learning and development. From this perspective, the sign-chart that students use is considered a mediating tool. According to a sociocultural perspective, tools and their meditating func…

Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2018 This study is about adapted education in mathematics for giftedpupils in the upper primary level. The aimis to revealfive teacher ́s knowledge on adaptions for this particular group of pupils. The study ́s research question is: What knowledge and practices exists among Norwegian teachers that address gifted pupils and the teaching adapted for them?In the review of theory and research, it appears thatmany different terms are used to label this group of pupils and that a lot of available knowledge is not rooted in empirical studies. An overviewcovering the different terms will be presented and will explain the meaning of a g…

Master's thesis in Mathematics education (MA502) The new Norwegian curriculum of 2020 has an increased focus on interdisciplinary education. In addition, numeracy is one of five basic skills all subjects are supposed to help the students develop. An important question is, therefore, how this interdisciplinarity should be implemented into the teaching. Therefore, I set my study at the crossroad of social studies and mathematics in high school, with the consideration that social and political decisions are increasingly based on data and the technological development enables us to collect and visualize massive sets of data, known as big data. This have led to a greater need for students to be …

Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2019 The limit concept is a central concept in mathematics, especially in calculus.A good understanding of this concept is therefore important in orderto understand other concepts like differentiation and integration. Despitethis, students’ understanding og this concept often vary from the formalmathematical definition. It is therefore interesting and important to gainan overview and understanding of how students’ concept image may looklike, that you may teach accordingly. Just as important is it to gain insightinto how the concept images of pre-service mathematics teachers may looklike, because it will to a large degree affect…
