Educating to inspire active learning approaches in mathematics in Norwegian universities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)This is a report of an analysis of some of the data generated by a national survey of teaching approaches used in higher education mathematics courses. The overall purpose of the survey was to explore how widespread is ... -
Education students' use of collaborative writing tools in collectively reflective essay papers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Google Docs and EtherPad are Web 2.0 tools providing opportunity for multiple users to work online on the same document consecutively or simultaneously. Over the last few years a number of research papers on the use of ... -
Effect of a finite external heat transfer coefficient on the Darcy-Benard instability in a vertical porous cylinder
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)The onset of thermal convection in a vertical porous cylinder is studied by considering the heating from below and the cooling from above as caused by external forced convection processes. These processes are parametrised ... -
Effects of school climate and teacher selfefficacy on job satisfaction of mostly STEM teachers : a structural multigroup invariance approach
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020) -
Emigration of mathematicians from outside German-speaking academia 1933-1963, supported by the Society for the Protection of Science and Learning
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Racial and political persecution of German-speaking scholars from 1933 onward has already been extensively studied. The archives of the Society for the Protection of Science and Learning (SPSL), which are deposited in the ... -
Energy dissipation and hysteresis cycles in pre-sliding transients of kinetic friction
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The problem of transient hysteresis cycles induced by the pre-sliding kinetic friction is relevant for analyzing the system dynamics, e.g., of micro- and nano-positioning instruments and devices and their controlled ... -
Engaging Mathematical Reasoning-and-Proving: A Task, a Method, and a Taxonomy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 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 ... -
Euclid’s proof of the infinitude of primes: distorted, clarified, made obsolete, and confirmed in modern mathematics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014) -
Exploring Affordances of an Online Environment : A Case-Study of Electronics Engineering Undergraduate Students’ Activity in Mathematics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019) -
Exploring grade 9 students' assumption making when mathematizing
(Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2015) -
Exploring Realistic Mathematics Education in a Flipped Classroom Context at the Tertiary Level
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Flipped classroom (FC) pedagogical frameworks have recently gained considerable popularity, especially at secondary school levels. However, there are rich opportunities to explore FC at tertiary levels, but progress on the ... -
Exploring students’ metacognition in relation to an integral-area evaluation task
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021) -
Exploring Students’ Metacognitive Knowledge: The Case of Integral Calculus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020) -
Exposing Empirical Links between COVID-19 Situation Report and Available Data: The Case of Nigeria
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020) -
An Extension of Weyl’s Equidistribution Theorem to Generalized Polynomials and Applications
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Generalized polynomials are mappings obtained from the conventional polynomials by the use of the operations of addition and multiplication and taking the integer part. Extending the classical theorem of Weyl on equidistribution ... -
Factorizations and Singular Value Estimates of Operators with Gelfand–Shilov and Pilipović kernels
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)We prove that any linear operator with kernel in a Pilipović or Gelfand–Shilov space can be factorized by two operators in the same class. We also give links on numerical approximations for such compositions. We apply these ... -
First-year engineering students’ use of their mathematics textbook - opportunities and constraints
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)The role of the mathematics textbook at tertiary level has received limited exposure in previous research although it is likely that students work individually and that some of this work depends on the use of the textbook. ... -
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 ... -
A framework for reasoning in school mathematics: analyzing the development of mathematical claims
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)This study introduces a framework for analyzing opportunities for mathematical reasoning (MR) in school mathematics, using MR-relevant claims and their derivation as the unit of analysis. We contend that this approach can ... -
Frequency-based ensemble forecasting model for time series forecasting
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The M4 forecasting competition challenged the participants to forecast 100,000 time series with different frequencies: hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly. These series come mainly from the economic, ...
