Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The use of people’s online digital traces has given rise to concerns for democracy. The digital traces may affect the individual’s life in unexpected and negative ways. Such traces may also be of importance for understanding the spread of disinformation and the like. This paper reports on a Foucault inspired discourse analysis of the Swedish upper secondary mathematics curriculum. Two discourses are construed in the intersection of critical thinking, democracy, and this new technology. Skovsmose’s concept of mathemacy is used to identify what is critical knowledge and what is not. The first construed discourse is, “With knowledge in formal mathematics, critical thinking on democracy will follow.” The second is, “Rather a personal career than a critical citizenship.” Neither of the discourses promotes a need for mathematics education to change due to new technology with regards to critical thinking.

Relationer eller operationer - två sidor av samma mynt : Elevers utforskande av en del-helhetsmodell som redskap för att urskilja relationer i additiva strukturer
- 2022
-
Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Syftet med denna licentiatuppsats är att pröva en specifik strukturell modell som stöd för elevers utforskande av relationer mellan tal i additiva strukturer även när negativa tal är inkluderade. En intention är att resultatet ska kvalificera undervisningen och utgöra ett stöd vid planering och genomförande av en undervisning avseende ekvationer med additiv struktur utifrån algebraisk undervisning som alternativ till att i första hand finna en lösning med stöd av regler och procedurer. Under studien kartlades, kategoriserades och beskrevs elevernas erfarande av fenomenet relationer mellan kvantiteter. I studien prövades även om, och i sådant fall, på vilka sätt en specifik strukturell modell användes av elever under arbetet med att utforska ekvationers struktur.Elever från årskurserna 3, 8 och 9 deltog i semistrukturerade intervjuer samt i forskningslektioner. Tre grupper av lärare samt två forskare planerade, genomförde och reviderade forskningslektionerna baserat på ansatsen learning study.Fenomenografi var den teoretiska ansatsen för de inledande semistrukturerade intervjuerna. Variationsteori och lärandeverksamhet var de teoretiska ramverken för forskningslektionerna där Davydovs program var en inspirationskälla.För att uppnå syftet formulerades följande forskningsfrågor:Vilka skilda sätt att erfara fenomenet relationer mellan kvantiteter kan urskiljas i elevintervjuer?På vilka sätt använder elever en specifik strukturell modell för att utforska ekvationer?Den första forskningsfrågan besvaras i Artikel 1 som visar att elever erfar relationer mellan kvantiteter som någonting som ska beräknas alternativt någonting som ska relateras. Den andra forskningsfrågan besvaras i Artikel 2 som visar att elever använde sig av den i studien prövade specifika strukturella modellen såsom ett formulär att fylla i alternativt som en lärandemodell och redskap för att identifiera del-helhetsstrukturen mellan tal i en ekvation samt för att välja lämplig operation att lösa ut det obekanta talet. Resultaten visar på möjligheten, men även utmaningen, att introducera en algebraisk undervisning med fokus på analys och teoretiska resonemang även för elever med erfarenheter från en alternativ bakgrund.

A framework for analysing assessment in working life and vocational education
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Nofa7 Abstracts. - Stockholm, Sweden : Stockholm University. ; , s. 36-36

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper we aim to discuss a research framework for analysing assessment in working life. We view assessment as a broad notion, taking place formally, through tests, coursework and the like, and informally through for example feedback during ongoing work. We argue that education, and significantly vocational education, has much to learn from taking knowledge about assessment as part of working life into account.Assessment in working life is in this paper viewed as a teaching content in vocational education. For students in vocational programmes, part of Swedish upper secondary school, it is highly relevant to learn about how working competence may be evaluated in their future occupations. Moreover, teachers carrying out assessment within the vocational programmes have much to learn from the ways assessment may be ‘done’ in working life. To assess vocational competence, also within vocational education, is different from formal educational assessment, since it is about capturing contextual knowing in action. In these actions, there are different logics (see Ellström, 2010) to pay attention to. One logic is a logic of production, where conformity and regulations are essential, and one is a logic of development, where problem solving and creativity are essential. So far, not much research has focused on assessment in working life in a broad sense, with relevance for vocational education.Assessment of vocational knowing is a field of research shared by disciplines like education, linguistics, economics and sociology. One theme in the literature addresses assessment for employment. This part of the research field is dominated by economists focusing on management issues, such as tests designed for selection of employees. Another theme is rather new in this field of research; assessment in skills competitions. A third theme is assessment in workplaces. Apart from some studies on assessment of employees’ performances and behaviour, there are few studies (eg. Kvale, 2007; Tanggaard & Elmholt, 2008) on assessment of vocational knowing at work.When discussing a framework for analysing assessment in working life, we will draw on theoretical considerations and make critical connections to previous research. In our theoretical considerations we incorporate three levels of practice: personal, interpersonal, and community processes (Rogoff, 2008), all in relation to assessment. To further examine aspects of vocational content in assessment, we adopt a framework of praxeology by Chevallard (2006), where praxis corresponds to ‘know-how’ and logos to ‘know-why’.

A school for all? Political and social issues regarding second language learners in mathematics education
- 2015
-
Ingår i: Teaching and Learning Mathematics: Resources and Obstacles<em></em><em></em>. - : University of Palermo, Italy. ; , s. 567-572
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- To investigate one equity aspect regarding mathematics learning in “a school for all” we have investigated how teachers comment on their arrangements for Swedish second language learners (SLL) to succeed on the National Test in mathematics in grade 5 (students are 11–12 years old). With data from a teacher survey and competency profiles for students in grade 5 we have performed a thematic analysis. The findings indicate that there were schools where the teachers worked in line with the instructions of the test and, therefore, adapted the administration of the test to enable SSL students better opportunities to display knowing in mathematics. This is coherent with a view expressed in policy documents. There were also schools where the teachers did not write about how to adapt the test administration but rather justified the exclusion of SLL students from the test or explained SSL students’ poor results due to language issues. In these schools the SSL students were not invited to display mathematics. We discuss these findings from an institutional perspective.

Assessment Discourses in Mathematics Classrooms : A Multimodal Social Semiotic Study
- 2010
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This is a study of assessment in mathematics classrooms and assessment is here regarded as a concept with broad boundaries including e.g. diagnostic tests, portfolios, and acts in teacher-student communication. The study’s purpose is to analyse and understand assessment acts in discursive practices in mathematics classroom communication in terms of affordances for students’ active agency and learning. Five mathematics classrooms are visited and the main data consists of video-recordings and written classroom material. In the study, I examine assessment acts, focuses of assessment acts, and roles of semiotic resources (symbols, gestures, speech etc.). With these findings as a basis, four discourses of assessment in mathematics classrooms are construed. A main conclusion is how the construed discourses hold different affordances for students’ active agency and learning. One discourse, “Do it quick and do it right” has similarities to a traditional discourse of assessment described in previous research. In a second discourse, “Anything goes”, students’ performances that can be regarded as mathematically inappropriate are left unchallenged. In both these discourses the affordances for students’ active agency and learning of mathematics are considered low. In a third discourse, “Anything can be up for a discussion”, the focuses of assessment acts are mainly on mathematics processes and available semiotic resources are connected to these focuses. The fourth discourse, “Reasoning takes time”, takes it one step further with a lower pace and an emphasis on mathematics processes such as reasoning and problem-solving. In these two latter discourses the affordances for students’ active agency and learning of mathematics are high. I contend that there is positive power in an increased awareness of discourses like these. The four discourses of this study can be powerful in discussions about, understandings of, and positive changes in assessment practices in mathematics classrooms.

Assessment in the mathematics classroom. . : Studies of interaction between teacher and pupil using a multimodal approach
- 2007

Ingår i: <em>CERME </em><em>5. European Research in Mathematics Education. </em>. - 9789963671250 ; , s. 1160-1169

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Several researchers stress the fact that students focus their learning according to thecontent in the assessment and to how this is carried out. Assessment in this particularstudy is not in a “usual” formal situation. Instead it refers to assessment which canbe found in the interaction between teacher and pupil during hands-on work inmathematics. The analytical tools are derived from research of formative assessment,the National syllabus in mathematics and a multimodal approach within a socialsemiotic frame. The results indicate that pupils do not always get constructivefeedback when showing meaning-making in mathematics. Possible reasons for thisare discussed from an institutional perspective.

Bedömning i matematik pågår! : återkoppling för elevers engagemang och lärande
- 2013. - 1
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- All form av bedömning handlar om återkoppling och påverkar eleverna, på gott och ont. Den här boken är ett ovärderligt stöd för de lärare som vill bli medvetna om hur deras återkoppling kan ge eleverna möjlighet att engagera sig och ta aktiv del i sitt eget lärande – med fokus på matematik.I boken diskuteras bedömningar i matematik utifrån olika undervisningssituationer. Det handlar om allt ifrån hur man som lärare agerar när man går runt och hjälper sina elever i klassrummet, till mer sammanfattande bedömningar i samband med utvecklingssamtal och betyg. Texten illustreras av utförliga situationsbeskrivningar hämtade från matematikundervisning i olika årskurser, vilket ger en konkret koppling till vad som faktiskt sker i klassrummet. Vissa textavsnitt är markerade som fördjupning och kan hoppas över av de läsare som främst är ute efter de praktiska verktygen och inte avser att fördjupa sig i teorin.Boken riktar sig till lärarstudenter och aktiva lärare, men är även intressant för skolledare och politiker med ansvar för att utarbeta styrdokument och fördela resurser. Boken kan följa lärarstudenterna genom deras utbildning och de avsnitt som har ett mer teoretiskt perspektiv kan även stödja och inspirera dem i deras uppsatsskrivande
