Licentiatseminarium i pedagogiskt arbete
Andreas Borg försvarar sin licentiatuppsats i pedagogiskt arbete ”Designing for the incorporation of programming in mathematical education - Programming as an instrument for mathematical problem solving”.
Licentiatuppsats Andreas Borg KUS 2021:23
Uppsatsen handlar om följande (ur baksidestexten):
”This study explored Swedish upper secondary school students’ use of programming for mathematical purposes. The aim of the study was to investigate the process through which students learn how to use a programming environment as a technical artefact during mathematical problem solving and how the orchestration of such learning situations could facilitate this process. In order to study the students’ use of the programming environment, design-based research was used as the main methodological approach and the Instrumental Approach served as the theoretical framework. The design involved the development of mathematical tasks to be tried out with students, as well as the orchestration of the learning situation within the classroom. The findings revealed how the students experienced several difficulties when trying to use the programming environment as a technical mathematical artefact. These difficulties were related to the fact that the mathematical affordances offered by the programming environment initially were unclear to many of the students, as well as to the handling of more specific computational concepts such as nested loops. The findings also revealed that the transformation of mathematical notations and ideas into programming code caused students difficulties.”
Händelsen är öppen för allmänheten.
