Exploring student learning of functions
Functions have an important place in the Swedish national curriculum. This study explores Swedish high school students’ conceptions and reasoning when solving mathematical problems involving functions. Two students were asked to solve three problems and reason aloud while describing how they approached their solutions. These problems dealt with function expressions, function representations, and the definition of the function concept. The study a…
Gendered Positions in Technology Education
Inclusivity in education is one of the fundamental objectives of the Swedish national curriculum for compulsory schooling. The accessibility of STEM education to students of different genders is essential in achieving this objective. This paper studies the images Swedish and Finnish upper secondary schools used to promote their university preparatory educational orientations, applying discourse analysis to the body of images. As the discourses im…
Exploring the Prototypical Definitions of Intelligent Engineers Held by Irish and Swedish Higher Education Engineering Students
Males are generally overrepresented in higher education engineering. However, the magnitude of this variance differs between countries and engineering fields. Evidence associated with the field-specific ability beliefs hypothesis suggests that perceptions of intelligence held by actors within engineering affects the engagement of underrepresented groups. This study examined perceptions of an intelligent engineer held by undergraduate and postgrad…
