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 …
Longitudinal associations between poor reading skills, bullying and victimization across the transition from elementary to middle school
2021
Students with poor reading skills and reading difficulties (RDs) are at elevated risk for bullying involvement in elementary school, but it is not known whether they are at risk also later in adolescence. This study investigated the longitudinal interplay between reading skills (fluency and comprehension), victimization, and bullying across the transition from elementary to middle school, controlling for externalizing and internalizing problems. The sample consists of 1,824 students (47.3% girls, T1 mean age was 12 years 9 months) from 150 Grade 6 classrooms, whose reading fluency and comprehension, self-reported victimization and bullying, and self-reported externalizing and internalizing …
Teknologi til glede og besvær : om undervisningsrelatert nettpublisering i lærerutdanningen : rapport fra en delstudie innen prosjektet Nettportal Hi…
2004
Som en del av prosjektet Nettportal HiA, som har som mål å samordne alle nettressursene ved høgskolen innen 2005, ble det våren 2004 iverksatt et pilotprosjekt knyttet til lærerutdanningen ved HiA. Denne studien er en del av dette pilotprosjektet. Den har som mål å undersøke vaner, holdninger og preferanser blant studenter og lærere ved lærerutdanningen når det gjelder publisering av undervisningsrelatert materiale på nett. I praksis er det blitt en studie av bruken av Classfronter, siden all den relevante nettpubliseringen finner sted innenfor denne rammen. Studien er basert på kvalitative intervjuer med et panel bestående av åtte faglærere og fire studenter - fordelt på ulike fagområder i…
Imaginary Dialogues – In-service Teachers’ Steps Towards Mathematical Argumentation in Classroom Discourse
2018
The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore in-service teachers’ first experiences with imaginary dialogues – a form of mathematical writing where students are introduced to a written and unfinished dialogue between two imaginary persons discussing a mathematical problem. Students are supposed to continue working with the problem and to complete the initial dialogue between these persons. In-service teachers were enrolled in a continuing university education mathematics course. They were given the task to try out imaginary dialogues in their classes from grades 4 to 10. Based on in-service teachers’ responses in open-ended self-evaluation forms, the study examined how the in-servic…
Engaging Mathematical Reasoning-and-Proving: A Task, a Method, and a Taxonomy
2019
This article is the second paper in a series of papers on studies focusing on teaching mathematical reasoning-and-proving in elementary mathematics classroom. Participants are in-service teachers enrolled in a continuing university education program in mathematics. Results from the first paper suggested the method of imaginary dialogues to have the potential to support in-service teachers in engaging their students in mathematical reasoning-and-proving, and Balacheff’s taxonomy of proofs to support in-service teachers in identifying students’ argumentation. This study is on the following years’ in-service teachers in the program. It examines their perceptions of the usefulness of two consti…
Status of Nordic research on simulation-based learning in healthcare: an integrative review
2018
This article is distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Background. Based on common geography, sociopolitics, epidemiology, and healthcare services, the Nordic countries could benefit from increased collaboration and uniformity in the development of simulation-based learning (SBL). To date, only a limited overview exists on the Nordic research literature on SBL and its progress in healthcare education. Therefore, the aim of this study is to fill that gap and suggest directions for future research. Methods. An integrative review design was used. A search was conducted for relevant research published during the period spanning from 1966 to Ju…
Work-related stress of elementary school principals in Finland: Coping strategies and support
2021
The present study aimed to investigate elementary school principals’ self-reported causes of work-related stress, their coping strategies to deal with stress and the support they need for their leadership. Seventy-six principals filled in the questionnaire, which included open-ended questions. Qualitative content analysis was used to analyse the data. The results showed that the main sources of stress were workload, interpersonal conflicts, a lack of resources and internal pressures. Moreover, principals used emotion-focused, problem-focused and social coping to deal with stress. Additionally, principals reported a need for problem-focused support and social support for their leadership. T…
"Alt rett i medikamentregning" : rapport fra en undersøkelse om regneferdigheter og undervisning i medikamentregning utført studieår 2007/2008 ved UIA
2009
Studiedirektøren ved Universitetet i Agder (UiA) bevilget i juni 2007 midler til et samarbeidsprosjekt mellom Fakultet for helse- og idrettsfag og Fakultet for teknologi og realfag. Samarbeidsprosjektet hadde til hensikt å se på muligheter for å redusere antall stryk ved eksamen i medikamentregning. Det blir tatt opp ca 240 studenter i bachelorprogrammet i sykepleie ved UiA og undervisningen foregår på to virksomhetssteder: Arendal og Kristiansand. Strykprosenten har stor sett variert mellom 30 – 60 %. I prosjektet har Judith Narvestad Tollisen og Arne Leland (Fakultet for helse- og idrettsfag) samarbeidet med følgende på Fakultet for teknologi og realfag: Mastergradstudent Leif Johannes Om…

Postgraduate Students’ Experience of Using a Learning Management System to Support Their Learning: A Qualitative Descriptive Study
2021
Introduction Educational institutions worldwide have implemented learning management systems (LMSs) to centralise and manage learning resources, educational services, learning activities and institutional information. LMS has mainly been used by teachers as storage and transfer of course material. To effectively utilise digital technologies in education, there is a need for more knowledge of student experiences with digital technology, such as LMSs and especially regarding how LMSs can contribute to student engagement and learning. Objective This study aimed to gain knowledge about postgraduate nursing students’ experiences with the use of LMS in a subject in an advanced practice nursing ma…
