Content

I dette emnet er det matematikkundervisningen som står i fokus. På den ene siden ser vi på en del overordnede teorier for matematikkundervisning og har et komparativt perspektiv på disse.

Vi bygger på teorier om lærerkompetanse (sett i sammenheng med teoriene ovenfor) og hvordan lærerkompetanse kan utvikles, for eksempel gjennom Lesson Study. Videre er teorier om utvikling av undervisningsforløp og -ressurser relevant.

På den annen side arbeider vi med et matematisk emne, algebra, og ser på forskning om algebraundervisning, herunder også algebraundervisning basert på matematikkhistorien. En del av litteraturen er forskjellig for studenter på utdanningen for trinn 1-7 og studenter på trinn 5-10, med vekt på henholdsvis begynneropplæring og ungdomstrinnet.

En sentral del av emnet er å bruke utvalgte teorier for å utvikle, prøve ut og evaluere undervisningsopplegg.
