tandfonline.com har udgivet en rapport under søgningen “Teacher Education Mathematics”: ABSTRACT ABSTRACT This paper explores school leaders’ and teachers’ ideas about drivers of improvement at local level in the decentralised Swedish school system. An institutional perspective is applied to investigate how institutional logics at macro level are played out at micro level in improvement processes. The paper draws on a three-year collaborative research project between a research team at a Swedish university and a municipality. Data emanate from interviews with 40 school leaders and 495 teachers in schools and preschools. The findings provide in-depth descriptions of how ideas based in coexisting logics generate tension and support in the organisations and thus provide an important contribution to our understanding of change processes in schools and preschools, and the challenges that accompany… Continue Reading →

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: The public and academic debate about mathematics education has been intensified during the last decade. In relation to this it is important to investigate what ideas concerning mathematics education that are expressed by teachers and students. The aim of this article is to study how teachers and students in primary school talk about the math book and to emphasize, discuss and problematize emerging discourses. The article is part of a larger project about mathematical education. Data consists of group conversations with 120 students and 8 teachers in two elementary schools in Sweden. The math project was supported by the National Agency for Education 2010-2012. All together 17 hours of video and audio documentation were produced. The theoretical framework is built on poststructuralist and social constructionist theory and… Continue Reading →
