Relevansen av trigonometri : En studie i to deler på relevansen av trigonometri for elever på videregående skole
2017
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2017 The topic of this master’s thesis is the relevance of mathematics, especially the relevance of trigonometry. Many students ask the question “why do I need to learn about this”. The aim of this study was to give the students an answer to this question. In the research literature, I found that this question has to do with relevance, and that relevance is a connection between people, an activity and future goals. In particular, one needs to question: relevance of what? relevance according to whom? relevance for whom? And relevance to what end? The empirical part of my research consisted of two studies. In Study 1 the purpose …

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…
Emplacing English as lingua franca in international higher education: A spatial perspective on linguistic diversity
2022
Within higher education, internationalisation is increasingly important for students and academics alike. In this context, English as the lingua franca has gained prominence. The ostensible ubiquity of English rests on a particular rendering of the language as unitary, fixed, and undifferentiated. In this paper, we challenge this notion of English and use a spatial approach to explore the multiplicity of Englishes on display within the higher education context. Increasingly, within higher education outside Anglophone countries, English Medium Instruction (EMI) is seen as a crucial indicator of internationalisation: the term ‘international programmes' is often used as a proxy for programmes …

Masteroppgave ledelse ORG917 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 Dropout is considered a major social problem in Norway, and approximately 3 out of 10 students do not finish upper secondary school within 5 years. The consequences of dropout are negative for both individuals and society. One of the consequences is that young adults without secondary education may be experiencing difficulties getting in to a labour market that increasingly requires highly-skilled labor. There are many reasons why students drop out of school, and there are no easy solutions. Therefore, a number of studies have been exploring possible causes for drop out in the recent years. Existing research has primarily been aimed …
