Mathematical competences in Swedish steering documents

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This study is an ongoing project where we only have very preliminary results, and the main aim of this paper is not to present results, but to discuss the methodological issues when using content analysis on the course syllabus for the Swedish compulsory school. Content analysis (Krippendorff, 2004) is in most cases in the literature used on large materials, for example all news articles from a specific year that concern a certain political issue. We will discuss what happens when we try to use the method on a comparatively small document of a very different kind.

How teachers verify conjectures : teachers' expectations
- 2005
-
In: Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education. - : Springer. - 1386-4416 .- 1573-1820. ; 8:2, s. 171-191
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Eight teachers were interviewed concerning how students verify conjectures. The study is a sequel to a previous study, “How Students Verify Conjectures” [Bergqvist, T. (2000). How students verify conjectures. Research reports in Mathematics Education 3]. Teachers’ expectations of students’ reasoning and performance are examined, and also how they wish students would work. The results indicate that the teachers tend to underestimate the students’ reasoning levels and that they believe that only a small group of students in each class can use higher level reasoning in mathematics.

Podcasting in School
- 2008
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Podcasting is a new phenomenon in Swedish schools. This pa- per describes a project where the main goal is to analyze if the students’ interest in mathematics is affected if the mathematics is made accessible via podcasts and iPods. Teachers at eleven schools were encouraged to produce podcasts as a part of their mathematics teaching in school year eight. The results indicate an increased interest in mathematics and the learning of mathematics among the students. We also found that the tech- nical difficulties for the teachers were underestimated in the project, and that teachers had difficulties in finding time for the production of podcasts.

Upper secondary students’ task reasoning
- 2008
-
In: International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology. - : Informa UK Limited. - 0020-739X .- 1464-5211. ; 39:1
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Upper secondary students’ task solving reasoning was analysed, with a focus on grounds for different strategy choices and implementations. The results indicate that mathematically well-founded considerations were rare. The dominating reasoning types were algorithmic reasoning, where students tried to remember a suitable algorithm, sometimes in a random way, and guided reasoning, where progress was possible only when essentially all important strategy choices were made by the interviewer.
