Smidig utvikling i en mellomstor bedrift på Sørlandet

2008

Masteroppgave i informasjonssystemer - Universitetet i Agder 2008 Systemutviklingsmetodikk og spesielt smidige metodikker og teknikker er et populært emne hos praktikere og forskere i systemutviklerbransjen. Det er gjort flere undersøkelser på hvilke metodikker som blir benyttet i praksis, hvordan metodikker kan endre seg med tid og hvilke faktorer som påvirker valget av hvilken metodikk som velges. Flere undersøkelser ser på metodikken som et helhetlig konsept som blir påvirket av flere faktorer. Færre undersøkelser har analysert de faktiske prinsippene en metodikk inneholder for å se på hvilke faktorer som påvirker bruken av disse. Denne oppgaven har tatt for seg en mellomstor bedrift på …

Bruk av elevbøker i matematikk på ungdomssteget : ein kasusstudie

2013

Doktorgradsavhandling ved Universitetet i Agder, Fakultet for teknologi og realfag, Kristiansand The focus of this dissertation is on ways students and teachers work with the student-book in mathematics in lower secondary school. The intention is to study how it is integrated to the learning activity in the subject. The student-book in mathematics was introduced at the end of the 90s. It was depict as a pedagogical tool, mainly in the learning process for the individual student (Eksamenssekretariatet, 2000), by giving the students the opportunity to take responsibility for their own learning. This study is part of a larger research project on classrooms, Kvalitet i opplæringa (KIO) (Quality…

Tenth grade pupils engagement with the use of brackets in algebra : a case study in a school in Albania

2012

Masteroppgave i matematikkdidaktikk- Universitetet i Agder, 2012 Since algebra is considered as a language, it has its syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. In the third linguistic level (pragmatics) stand the relations between the elements of language and the users. Since brackets are elements of algebra language they have their syntax, which involves some rules that lead transformations of algebraic expressions even with brackets; and brackets have their semantic aspect, which is related to tackling of algebraic expressions into brackets such as mathematical objects. On the other side, the consideration of the syntactic aspect of algebraic expressions leads to instrumental understanding of t…

Tidlig algebra : algebraisk tenkemåte og arbeidsmåter i en tredjeklasse- en casestudie

2011

Masteroppgave i matematikkdidaktikk- Universitetet i Agder 2011 The main theme for this thesis is early algebra. The focus is on teaching approaches and how these operate during the activities used in a third grade mathematics classroom. Particular to this classroom is the absence of textbooks, and the use of concrete manipulables. The terms early algebra and algebraic reasoning are central, and I aim to give an overview of the development of, and the background for, these terms. Further I go into arithmetic and numeral reasoning as an entry point into early algebra, and also give an in-depth description of two research articles. Confluent pedagogy and the KUL-LCM project are also part of t…

The introduction of algebra : comparative studies of textbooks in Finland, Norway, Sweden and USA

2012

Masteroppgave i matematikkdidaktikk- Universitetet i Agder, 2012 This master thesis is a comparative analysis of textbooks from four different countries, Finland, Norway, Sweden and USA (California), concerning the introduction of algebra. The topic for this research was inspired and initiated in connection with the international project VIDEOMAT, which I have been involved with since its planning phase. Following the design of this project, two mathematics textbooks of two consecutive grades from the four different countries have been analyzed. The focus in these has been the 60 first tasks presented in the algebraic chapters. The review of literature includes a look at the origins of alge…

Meningsfylte matematikkoppgaver? En casestudie fra ungdomsskoleelevers aktiviteter knyttet til algebra på en bedrift.

2015

Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk- Universitetet i Agder, 2015 "Meaningful mathematics tasks?" is a case study related to 9th grade in Norwegian lower secondary school that visited Returkraft, an energy recovery facility in Kristiansand. During a full day on this enterprise, they worked with tasks that were designed in connection with this study. ”Algebra på Returkraftskolen” is based on competence goals for functions and includes two student booklets, one for study preparation at school and the other for enterprise visit. The students were guided around Returkraft, then worked in group with tasks from business context and finally summary in plenary. Based on this teaching program, I have a…

To læreverks presentasjon av algebra på 8. trinn En analyse og sammenligning

2015

Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk- Universitetet i Agder, 2015 The aim of this study was to analyze how two textbooks and associated material present algebra in eighth grade, and whether they are focusing on facilitating instrumental understanding or relational understanding. Skemp’s (1976) theory on instrumental and relational understanding played an important role in this work. The textbooks I chose to analyze and compare were Grunntall 8 and Faktor 8. Additionally I wanted to study how two teachers used the textbooks. I did this because I wanted to know how they were used in the classroom. The methods used in this study were content analyses of the textbooks, observations of the two teac…
