    Changing teaching practice and students’ learning of mathematics2010In: Education Inquiry, E-ISSN 2000-4508, Vol. 1, no 4, p. 381-397Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This article forms part of a larger study aimed at supporting teachers in understanding their practiceand improving it. Students’ tests, an examination of students’ mathematical work, teachers’ lessons plans and reports of the lessons’ instructions are the base data for this article. The analysis indicated that the teachers were unable to describe the critical aspects in students’ learning at the beginning of the project. By giving teachers the training that allows them to become theorising teachers, they also obtain the possibility, as professional decision-makers, to develop the ability to identify the critical aspects of students’ learning and consider how opportunities for learning can be enhanced. The findings suggest that developing an understanding of students’ critical aspects can be a productive basis for helping teachers to make fundamental changes in their instructions and to improve mathematical communication in the classroom.

    Enhancing mathematics communication using critical aspects and dimensions of variation2013In: International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, ISSN 0020-739X, E-ISSN 1464-5211, Vol. 44, no 4, p. 513-522Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This article deals with two prominent topics in the field of mathematics education: the communication in mathematics and its teaching and learning and the continuous professional development of mathematics teachers. In this article, a framework is proposed for analysing the effectiveness of communication in mathematics classrooms. The presentation is based on data collected, during a 3-year period, while different objects of learning is presented in nine classes, and it includes 22 teachers and 884 students. Among other things, the data consist of the students’ tests, the teachers’ lessons plan and reports of the lessons’ instructions. In the analysis, concepts relating to variation theory have been used as analytical tools. The results show that effective communication occurs in the classroom if it has the real critical aspects in student learning as its starting point. Also, the results show that teachers develop new strategies to present the contents by having the focus to open up dimensions of variation.

    Equations, functions, critical aspects and mathematical communication2012In: International Education Studies, ISSN 1913-9020, E-ISSN 1913-9039, Vol. 5, no 5, p. 69-78Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The purpose of this paper is to present the mechanism for effective communication when the mathematical objects of learning are equations and functions. The presentation is based on data collected while the same object of learning is presented in two classes, and it includes two teachers and 45 students. Among other things, the data consists of video-recordings of lessons and tests. In the analysis, concepts relating to variation theory have been used as analytical tools. The results show that effective communication occurs in the classroom if it has the critical aspects in students learning as its starting point. The communication in the classroom succeeds or not if the aspects of the content supposed to be treated is the same as or different from the aspects of the content of the teacher’s representation, and if the aspects of the content of the teacher’s representation are the same as or different from the aspects discerned by the students. The results also show that the students cannot make sense of the difference between the highest/lowest value of a quadratic function and the maximum/minimum point; the difference between a quadratic equation and function; the students also have difficulties in solving a quadratic equation if it appears in a new context. The argument of the functions is identified as critical aspect in this study.

    Abstract [en]

    The availability of instructional examples in the mathematics classroom challenges theway teachers confront students with several aspects of the content, which cancontribute to designating the generality of mathematical concepts. Using the theory ofvariation and Deleuze’s philosophical concepts as the main interpretative framework,this study investigates what is involved in repetition and the nature of its interiority,what we understand by conceptual difference and difference without concept in adevelopment study. The data consisted of 36 teachers’ lesson plans. Qualitativeanalysis of these data led to the identification of events types and the characteristics ofrepetition.

    Improvement of effective communication: the case of subtraction2012In: International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, ISSN 1571-0068, E-ISSN 1573-1774, Vol. 10, no 4, p. 803-826Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The research study this article is based on aims to implement researchknowledge to teaching, that is, the concept of critical aspects and dimensions of variationused in the variation theory. To do this, the researchers worked with willing teachers toexplore how to make mathematics teaching more effective. This paper illustrates howteachers make use of a learning theory, the variation theory, as well as their ownprofessional expertise and collaboration to help students improve their mathematicalunderstanding of subtraction as well as their learning of it. The students’ tests,examinations of students’ mathematical work, the teachers’ lessons plan and reports ofthe instructions for lessons form the data base for the article. The analysis indicates thatone of the critical aspects in the process of implementation of the variation theory in theteachers’ practice was to identify the critical aspects in students’ learning. Another criticalaspect in the implementation of the variation theory was to open up dimensions ofvariation in the identified critical aspects of the students. By giving teachers the possibilityto develop the ability to identify critical aspects in students’ learning, dimensions ofvariation are opened up in these aspects, and by applying this knowledge in the dailyteaching, they have the possibility to improve students’ learning. The findings suggest thatdeveloping an understanding of the students’ critical aspects can be a productive basis inhelping teachers make fundamental changes in their instructions and improve students’learning.

    Pre-Service Teachers’ Reasoning and Sense-Making of Growing Patterns2023In: Proceedings of The 6th World Conference on Research in Education, 2023, Diamond Scientific Publishing , 2023Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In this study, we aimed to present the features of pre-service teachers’ reasoning and sense making in the process of exploring growing patterns tasks. Participants were 79 pre-service primary teachers in Sweden. The analysis was grounded in the concept of critical aspects from variation theory and the concepts of assemblage, lines of flight, segmentarity, and rupture from a post-structuralist philosophical perspective. Results indicate that the concepts of assemblage, line of flight, rupture, and segmentarity can be useful tools for analyzing analysing reasoning and sense making in mathematics. The results also show that in mathematics, the line of flight can be seen in moments of creativity and innovation. Furthermore, the results show that rupture can be seen in the connection of concepts or ideas that challenge established mathematical structures and ways of thinking. Further, the results shows that segmentarity creates disciplinary boundaries and inhibits reasoning and sense making. Therefore, it is important to recognize and break down these boundaries to facilitate more creative and innovative reasoning and sense making in mathematics.

    Sense making and reasoning in algebra2022In: Proceedings of the 45th Conference of the International Groupfor the Psychology of Mathematics Education: Alicante, Spain, July 18 – 23, 2022 / [ed] Ceneida Fernández, Salvador Llinares, Ángel Gutiérrez, Núria Planas, Alicante: Universidad de Alicante, 2022, Vol. 4, p. 270-Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Researchers note that algebraic reasoning and sense making is essential for buildingconceptual knowledge in school mathematics. Consequently, pre-service teachers’own reasoning and sense making are useful in fostering and developing students’algebraic reasoning and sense making. We report here the features of pre-serviceteachers’ reasoning and sense making in algebra, specifically in the process ofanalysing problem posing, with a focus on first-degree equations. The followingresearch questions served as a guide in the analysis of data: What are the characteristicsof the problem-posing tasks used for reasoning and sense making of first-degreeequations? What are the characteristics of pre-service teachers’ reasoning and sensemaking in problem-posing tasks?This study is part of ongoing research carried out with pre-service teachers enrolled inthe abovementioned mathematics teacher education course. All the pre-serviceteachers were older than 19, from diverse socio-economic backgrounds and attendedclass for all 10 weeks of the semester, including the seven weeks in which data wascollected. Sixty-six pre-service primary teachers participated in an anonymous writtenexam and were informed about our research (characteristics, aim, confidentialityissues, etc.). The data analysis adopted a qualitative/interpretative approach, and theunit of analysis has three dimensions: reasoning, sense making and critical aspects.According to Olteanu (2020), reasoning and sense making are closely related to eachother and to these dimensions in the manner of a ‘rhizome’ (Deleuze & Guattari, 1987).Results revealed that the pre-service teachers create a rhizomatic reasoning and sensemaking that is characterized by lines of rupture. Those lines interconnect and arise fromincorrect translations of rhizomatic problem-posing task (RPPT) into mathematicalnotations and the failure to discern the difference between variables and variables asunknown numbers; i.e., between algebraic expression and equation. The characteristicsof reasoning in RPPT and of pre-service teachers are selecting, exploring,reconfiguring, encoding, abstracting, and connecting to highlight associations andrelationships between different content, and the characteristics of sense making arerecognition, relationships, profiling, comparing, laddering, and verifying.

    Subtraction: the improvement of communication through critical aspects2010In: Proceedings of The 14th World Multi-Conference on Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics: WMSCI 2010., 2010, Vol. 4, p. 90-95Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The research study, this article is based on, aims to develop principles to enable the transfer of research knowledge to teaching. In this article are presented the design and implementations of a research project intended to support teachers in understanding their practice and improve it. Furthermore, the central idea was to improve the communication in mathematics between teachers and teachers-students. Issues that arose from practice were framed in terms of learning. In addition, the variation theory formed the background to our work. The students’ tests, examination of students’ mathematical work, the teachers’ lessons plan and reports of the lessons’ instructions are the data base for this article. The analysis indicated that teachers were not able to describe the critical aspects in students’ learning in the beginning of the project. By giving teachers the training that allows them to become reflective teachers, they also get the possibility, as professional decision makers, to develop the ability to identify the critical aspects in students’ learning and consider how opportunities for learning can be enhanced. Furthermore, if the teachers base their instructions on the identified critical aspects and open up dimensions of variation in these aspects, the students’ learning seems to be facilitated. The findings suggest that developing an understanding of the students’ critical aspects can be a productive basis in helping teachers to make a fundamental change in their instructions and to improve the mathematical communication in the classroom.

    Abstract [en]

    The aim of this article is to contribute to understanding the relationship between teaching and learning algebra at school in order to identify how schools can be supported to improve students’ learning outcomes. The students’ tests and examinations of their mathematical work and the teachers’ lessons plan and reports on the lessons’ instructions were the base data for this article. The analysis indicated that, if the teachers base their instructions on the critical aspects identified in students’ learning and open up patterns of variation in these aspects, they seem to facilitate students’ learning. The findings suggest that helping teachers develop an understanding of the students’ critical aspects can be a productive basis for helping them to make fundamental changes to their instructions and to improve their mathematical communication in the classroom.

    Programming and angles: patterns of variation2019In: Proceedings of the 43rd Conference of the International Groupfor the Psychology of Mathematics Education: Pretoria, South Africa, 7 – 12 July 2019 / [ed] Mellony Graven, Hamsa Venkat, Anthony A Essien, Pamela Vale, 2019, Vol. 4, p. 81-81Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In several countries including Sweden programming is introduced to secondary students mainly as a part of the mathematics curriculum. “Scratch” is used as a tool inprogramming and this has become a common trend in many countries. However, teaching mathematics using “Scratch” is not appropriate for in-service teachers.

    Several research findings show that angle, as a mathematical concept, is difficult to teach and learn (Mitchelmore & White, 2004). We conducted a study in which researchers worked with 32 in-service mathematics teachers in grades 7-9. Because angles are essential characteristics of two- and three-dimensional geometrical objects,the aim of this study was to give in-service teachers the opportunity to improve their experience of using “Scratch” in order to enhance students understanding of angles. Observation, tasks used, video samples and field notes were used as data collecting tools.

    The data gathered were analysed in a qualitative way using concepts of the variation theory (Marton, 2015). The variation theory was also used to focus teachers’ attentionon aspects that were possible to discern by using “Scratch”. Angle is a geometric concept but it possesses properties that can be found in various other contexts. The variation theory of learning stems from the concept of phenomenography (e. g.,Marton, 2015). It emphasizes variation as a necessary condition for learners to be ableto discern new aspects of a subject of study.

    Based on a preliminary analysis, we could discern three concepts of angle: (1) angle asa movement (in rotation or sweep), (2) angle as a geometric shape (a partitioning of space by two intersecting beams), and (3) angle as a unit for measure. There appears to be an alignment between in-service teachers using “Scratch” and their instructional practices that will be discussed in this presentation in detail. The use of patterns of variation in programming will also be presented.
