The Information and Communication Technologies in the school sys-tem. A review of the research lines
2005
This paper offers a classification of research trends and perspectives about processes oriented to incorporate information and communication technologies (ICT) in schools. Identified are four research trends: a) studies about indicators of computers quantity in school systems; b) studies about computer effects in learning; c) studies about opinion, perspectives and attitudes of educational agents to ICT; and d) studies about computers' educational use in classroom and colleges. This paper finishes with a synthesis of current knowledge about projects and programs intended for the embodiment of ICT in school systems.

Dynamics of undergraduate engineering students’ learning activities in mathematics in an online and in a blended environment
2020
Paper IV is not published yet. This thesis reports from a research study which investigates the role of technology rich environments in undergraduate engineering students’ processes of learning mathematics. The research is founded within a naturalistic research paradigm (Lincoln, 2007) and adopts a case study design (Yin, 2014). The two cases under consideration comprise a small group of undergraduate electronics engineering students, selected as participants, from an online and a blended learning environment (Borba et al., 2016). The first case study of online environment incorporates an online system, MyMathLab, for homework and assessment, and tutorial videos for the lectures in a calcul…
Opportunities and Challenges when Students Work with Vocationally Connected Mathematics Tasks
2021
Students in vocational education in Norway take a compulsory mathematics course in the first year of their programme. This course offers opportunities for engaging with mathematics which can be highly relevant to practice in many workplaces. Working with vocationally connected mathematics tasks, tasks designed to draw on students’ future working contexts, is one way of trying to connect to students’ possible future vocations. This study aims to understand how students interact with such tasks with a particular emphasis on the roles of norms, authenticity and students’ positioning between the practices of school, the workplace and everyday life. In this study, I observed students working wit…
Omvendt undervisning i matematikk : en studie av elevers oppfatning av undervisningsmetoden
2013
Masteroppgave i matematikkdidaktikk- Universitetet i Agder 2013 Many teachers want to try out different teaching methods to find the one that makes students learn best. In today's society we surround ourselves with technology most of the day and there are several teaching methods that make use of technological tools in different ways. The “flipped classroom” is one of these and this is a method that has become more and more popular around the world and now also in Norway. In short, this is a method where students get theoretical review outside the classroom by using instructional videos, while solving problems and other learning activities are carried out at school with the teacher present.…
Forskningsbasert lærerutdanning i matematikk : hva betyr forskningsbasert undervisning for GLU studentene i MA-149?
2013
Masteroppgave i matematikkdidaktikk- Universitetet i Agder 2013 It is enshrined in law and regulation that all higher education should be research-based and research-oriented. How a research-based approach should be reflected in the education is not defined clearly, so there is room for interpretation that gives the institutions a certain freedom. In this study I examine how a mathematics education courses at the University of Agder is research-corrected and the consequences of that for the students. To see the significance the students believe a research-based course has, I through the study attempt to answer the following research questions: - What does mathematics education research mean…
Materiell-kollektiv praksis. En tilnærming til fagdidaktikk for kunst og håndverk utviklet i veveprosjektet : Veve i åpne dører
2021
This study inquires into the potential of a material-collective practice as a pedagogical approach for a world-centred arts and crafts education. It challenges the Norwegian individually centred education policy with its predefined and measurable competencies. This monograph examines and discusses the possibilities when teacher attention shifts from the acquisition of skills and production of objects to the students' encounters with each other, materials and their surroundings. The study's emergent research method, material-collective ethnography, is proposed as a method for teaching practice. This empirical study consists of micro ethnographic fieldwork during an outdoor weaving project wi…
Matematikk i yrkesutdanningen : En kasusstudie av sammenhengen mellom matematikkfaget og programfagene på yrkesutdanningen elektrofag
2013
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2013 The teaching of mathematics in vocational education programs in Norway is required to make connections with each student's professional practice and daily life. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between mathematics and the program subjects in electrical vocational education. This is achieved through a description of the diverse teaching practices, leading to where the two subjects overlap. My main question is: What characterizes the relationship between mathematics 1T-Y and the program subjects in the electric vocational education? To address this question, I have formulated three research questions:…
Using the interactive learning environment aplusix for teaching and learning school algebra: A research experiment in a middle school
2011
Published version of an article from the journal: Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology. Also available from the publisher: http://www.tojet.net/ Open Access Most software tools that have been developed with the aim of helping students to learn school algebra have not yet achieved successful results in classroom. Almost all of them are menu-based systems that provide transformation rules in menus and buttons. Aplusix is a new interactive software tool for learning school algebra. In contrast to existing software tools in mathematics education, Aplusix has been developed to allow students to freely build and transform algebraic expressions as they can do on paper. In addition, Apl…
Elevers matematikksamtaler : Læring i og mellom praksiser
2012
Doktorgradsavhandling ved Universitetet i Agder, Fakultet for teknologi og realfag The aim of this study “Students´mathematical conversations – Learning in and beween practices” is to examine students’ mathematical conversations and the students learning in and between practices. I study what characterizes mathematical conversations, and explore what potential the participation in such conversations in and outside school, have towards critical learning of mathematics. It is an expressed political goal that the subject of mathematics should be more practical in school. The government’s strategic document “Realfag for framtida, [MST for the future] 2010–2014”, describes company as an arena fo…
