Using eye-tracking to understand inductive reasoning
2020
Master's thesis in Mathematics education (MA500) This master thesis explains the work done to answer three research questions which are re-lated to the understanding of inductive reasoning in solving shape pattern tasks. A short introduction presents the topic of the thesis, the research questions, the challenges faced during the pandemic, the related effects on the quality of the thesis and main discover-ies.An analysis of related literature was done in order to link this research with previous theory in the field of math reasoning, especially inductive reasoning and eye-tracking method to collect and analyse the data. This has served to shape the research design. The methodology chapter i…
How upper secondary students solve algebraic word problems in the area of mathematical modelling : A case study of one group of Norwegian students
2019
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA500 - Universitetet i Agder 2019 For å imøtekomme nye utfordringer på skolen, i jobb og i livet, kan elever ha behov for åtilpasse og utvide den matematikken de kan. Dette krever at elever evner, i noen grad, åsette skolematematikken i forbindelse med hverdagslige kontekster og motsatt. Matema-tisk modellering er en av de hensiktsmessige mediene for å støtte sammenhengen mellomskolematematikken og virkeligheten. Forskning har vist at det er en sterk tilbøyelighet ipensumet mot matematisk modellering og at i stedet høynivå matematikk er ansett somviktig, mest på videregående nivå. Igjen, forskning viser at elever har større utfordringermed abstrakte (fakta…
Elevenes bruk av GeoGebra i matematikkundervisningen : En undersøkelse om elevers interaksjon med brukergrensesnittet i dynamisk geometri
2017
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2017 This master thesis is about pupils' use of and interaction with the GeoGebra user interface in mathematics education. I want investigate different solution paths and any mistakes and misunderstandings among students using this digital device. My research question is: How do the pupils interact with the user interface to solve mathematical problems in GeoGebra? That implies the following sub-questions: Which functionalities like for example tools, symbols and menu choices in the program do the pupils choose to solve the problems? How do the pupils choose a certain tool? How do the pupils use a certain tool? Which problems d…
Elever på videregående skole lager egne matematikkoppgaver : En studie av hvordan elever i en 1P-klasse argumenterte for at en matematikkoppgave lage…
2017
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2017 “Upper Secondary Students Pose Their Own Problems – A study of how students in a 1P class argued that a task posed by the students themselves, was a good task” is a qualitative study of a group of students in the subject 1P who was asked to pose problems related to the game Lotto. The theme of the study is “problem posing”, or more specifically students posing problems. The research question is: How do students argue that a problem posed by the students themselves, is a good problem? In order to answer this, I have focused on four areas: the students’ argumentation in the process of posing problems and considerations relat…
EVU-studenters oppfattelse av nytte ved analyse av egne elevers resonnement og argumentasjon – En kvalitativ casestudie
2021
Master's thesis in Mathematics education (MA502) This qualitative case study investigated what in-service teachers viewed as useful in evaluating their own students' reasoning and argumentation. This was done in response to the following research question: How do in-service teachers perceive analyzing their students’ written reasoning and argumentation as useful? The theoretical framework for the study was a proof definition for school mathematics. It also sheds light on what knowledge the teacher requires to succeed in engaging students in proof, as well as what challenges the teacher faces. The findings in this study were discussed in light of the theoretical framework. The study’ spartic…
En casestudie av hvordan spenninger i og mellom praksisskole og universitet har innvirkninger på en matematikklærerstudents utvikling av matematikklæ…
2021
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…
