Thematic Working Group on Theoretical Perspectives and Approaches in Mathematics Education, TWG17
(Journal article, 2024)We continue the initiative of introducing the CERME Thematic Working Groups, which we began in the September 2017 issue, focusing on ways in which European research in the field of mathematics education may be interesting ... -
A Resource Approach to Mathematics Teacher Education
(Doctoral dissertations at University of Agder;no. 523, Doctoral thesis, 2025)The research presented in this dissertation addresses the disconnect between university coursework and school placement, as experienced by pre-service mathematics teachers (PSTs). In their educational trajectory, PSTs ... -
Networking the documentational approach and Valsiner's zone theory
(Chapter, 2023)The documentational approach to didactics (DAD) and Valsiner’s zone theory are combined to increase explanatory power when exploring pre-service teachers’ professional development. The strategy of combining is applied, ... -
“Imagine, maths is used anywhere, and we don’t get to know this”—upper secondary students and the relevance of advanced mathematics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)People are more motivated to put effort into learning when they know they will be able to put the learnt content to use. These relevance perceptions play a motivating role in the learning of mathematics, a subject renowned ... -
Understanding the challenges of the secondary-tertiary transition in mathematics for economics in higher education: a literature review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)This review paper examines the issues identified by research regarding students transitioning from school mathematics to service mathematics modules within economics education at the tertiary level. Literature was gathered ... -
Formative Feedback in Mathematics Teacher Education: An Activity and Affordance Theory Perspective
(Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2022)The increasingly high number of students’ enrolment has necessitated the recent attention on the use of computer-based assessment systems for feedback delivery to students for mathematical learning, such as Numbas. However, ... -
Fostering student’s mathematical literacy through mathematical modelling tasks
(Mathematics Teaching and Learning, Vol. 6, Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2024)In this chapter, we compare mathematical modelling and mathematical literacy, and explore mathematical modelling tasks as a means for fostering students’ mathematical literacy. We draw on our own research on three different ... -
Affordances and constraints of the Dragonbox School teaching material
(Chapter, 2022)The aim of this paper is to analyze the affordances and constraints of the way dynamic representations are used in the digital learning lab 'The set line' from the Dragonbox School teaching material. The learning lab is ... -
Analysis of relationships between prior knowledge, approaches to learning, and mathematics performance among engineering students
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Approaches to learning have been identified as crucial factors that influence students’ mathematics performance. However, there have been mixed findings on which of the different approaches improve performance in undergraduate ... -
Making sense of journalistic COVID-19 data visualizations: An in-depth study of two adults’ visual-numeric literacy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic urged authorities to share quantitative information such as infection and death rates. One way of disseminating was through graphs, maps, and diagrams. Such data visualizations communicate ... -
The construct of playful learning in primary mathematics: A literature overview
(Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2022)This literature overview aims to define playful learning (PL) in primary mathematics education (ME). When reading previous research literature, I discovered that early years ME researchers often do not define PL but view ... -
TOULMIN ANALYSIS OF META-MATHEMATICAL ARGUMENTATION IN A JAPANESE GRADE 8 CLASSROOM
(Chapter, 2021)In this research report we aim to analyse argumentation at two levels, using the so-called Toulmin model. We examine the structure of the mathematical argumentation, as well as the nature of the meta-mathematical argumentation ... -
Mathematical Modelling and Inquiry-Based Mathematics Education
(Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2021)Mathematical modelling (MM) is a powerful tool used by scientists and engineers to solve important problems for humankind. MM opens many possibilities for inquiry and has been included in the PLATINUM project as one of the ... -
'Reasoning' in national curricula and standards
(Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2022)The differing meanings and usages of terms related to argumentation and proof have been discussed in the literature and related to differences in language (e.g., Sekiguchi & Miyazaki, 2000), professional context (e.g., ... -
Forms of epistemic feedback
(Chapter, 2022)Feedback in a digital learning system has two functions, a pragmatic and an epistemic one. In previous papers, we were concerned with the pragmatic function, showing how digital feedback initiates acting with the system ... -
The modelling cycle as analytic research tool and how it can be enriched beyond the cognitive dimension
(Chapter, 2022)The modelling cycle is a theoretical construct frequently applied in research studies on mathematical modelling. On the one hand, the modelling cycle highlights essential aspects of modelling, which makes it a tool for ... -
