- The present study aims at exploring if a sample of Swedish grade 3 pupils reported any test anxiety and whether there were any relations to performance in different mathematical areas. Overall, test anxiety explained 20% of the variance for the total mathematical score, with the subscale “thoughts” as the significant predictor. The model of test anxiety also explained Number understanding, Mass and Time, Patterns, and Mathematical problems; however Mental arithmetic and Written arithmetic algorithms were not significantly explained by the model. Test anxiety seems not to be a major problem in this sample; still, significant negative correlations were found, which likely might influence the pupils in some aspects.

- This paper reports on a research project relating to the newly implemented mandatory Swedish national mathematics tests for third-grade students (aged nine and ten). The project’s main research concerns the students’ ideas about and reactions towards these tests and how the specific test situation affects their perception of their own mathematical proficiency. Drawing on theories which suggest that identities are more fluid than static, we want to understand how students with special needs are ‘created’. The specific aim of this paper is to discuss how our research methods have been refined during the various phases of data collection and the resulting implications. It discusses issues surrounding child research and how methods involving video recording and video stimulated recall dialogue (VSRD) can contribute to research on children’s experiences. Particular attention is given to methodological and ethical issues; how to disrupt power relations, for example. In this paper we argue that the context of the test situation not only impacted upon the students but also affected how we changed, developed and adapted our approaches as the project evolved.

Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Elevens tro på sin egen förmåga visade sig vara en av nyckelfaktorerna när skolkontoret i Umeå kommun, Specialpedagogiska skolmyndigheten samt det matematikdidaktiska forskarnätverket vid Umeå universitet samarbetade i ett utvecklingsprojekt för undervisning av elever med särskilda undervisningsbehov i matematik. Med hjälp av bland annat mental träning i matematik tog eleverna steget från att vara en som inte kan – till att vara en som faktiskt kan lära sig matematik.
