Björklund, Camilla; Ekdahl, Anna-Lena; Runesson Kempe, Ulla – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2021
We report here on an intervention implementing a structural approach to arithmetic problem-solving in relation to learning outcomes among preschoolers. Using the fundamental principles of the variation theory of learning for developing the intervention and as an analytical framework, we discuss teaching and learning in commensurable terms. The…

Eriksson, Moa; Euler, Elias; Linder, Cedric; Eriksson, Urban; Govender, Nadaraj – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
This article revisits and expands upon a previous phenomenographic study characterising the qualitatively different ways in which South African undergraduate physics students may experience the use of +/- signs in one-dimensional kinematics (1DK). We find the original categorisation as applicable for interpreting Swedish university-level students'…

Fülöp, Éva – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2021
The aim of this study is to measure the effects of teaching problem-solving strategies as an integrated part of the mathematical content prescribed by the curriculum. By implementing the designs principles developed in the previous study, we carry out a one-year-long teaching intervention in a Swedish upper secondary school. Pre- and post-tests…

Nafsika Alexiadou; Zoi Kefala; Linda Rönnberg – European Journal of Higher Education, 2024
Debates around internationalisation-at-home (IaH) focus on the benefits accrued to students from the integration of internationalisation dimensions in their studies, curricular developments and interactions with international students, but, with scant attention to how these vary in different subject areas. In this article, we focus on the…

Jiang, Ronghuan; Star, Jon R.; Hästö, Peter; Li, Lijia; Liu, Ru-de; Tuomela, Dimitri; Prieto, Nuria Joglar; Palkki, Riikka; Abánades, Miguel Á.; Pejlare, Johanna – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
This cross-national study examined students' evaluation of strategies for solving linear equations, as well as the extent to which their evaluation criteria were related to their use of strategies and/or aligned with experts' views about which strategy is the best. A total of 792 middle school and high school students from Sweden, Finland, and…

Katrien Van Poeck; Malena Lidar; Eva Lundqvist; Leif Östman – Environmental Education Research, 2025
In the face of the global sustainability crisis, schools and teachers are called on to transform education and implement educational innovations to strengthen sustainability education. One of these innovations is 'open schooling': educational practices that involve students in identifying, exploring, and tackling real-world sustainability problems…

Sharmin Söderström – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
This study focuses on computer-based formative assessment for supporting problem solving and reasoning in mathematics. To be able to assist students who find themselves in difficulties, the software suggested descriptions - diagnoses - of the encountered difficulty the students could choose from. Thereafter, the software provided metacognitive and…

Susanne Engström; Helena Lennholm – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2025
In literature, teaching for an authentic learning experience is seen as rewarding and interesting, promoting better understanding of for example sustainable development and fostering students' independence. Some upper secondary schools emphasise authentic teaching and learning on their websites, showcasing how students engage in authentic tasks.…

Melander Bowden, Helen – Learning, Media and Technology, 2019
This article explores children's development of problem-solving practices through multimodal engagements in digital activities. The study is based on analyses of a video recorded peer group activity in which two children, within the context of a project on computational thinking using the software "Scratch," collaboratively work to solve…

Birgitta Fröjdendahl; Ylva Sandberg – Educational Research and Evaluation, 2024
This study detected patterns in teacher educators' and pre-service teachers' beliefs and practices regarding the degree project. Requirements in policy documents were also considered. The analysis centred on validity, teacher cognition and grounded theory. Conversations were conducted with instructors and students at three departments for teacher…

Schindler, Maike; Bakker, Arthur – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2020
Educators in mathematics have long been concerned about students' motivation, anxiety, and other affective characteristics. Typically, research into affect focuses on one theoretical construct (e.g., emotion, motivation, beliefs, or interest). However, we introduce the term affective field to account for a person's various affective factors…

Tanner, Marie; Sahlström, Fritjof – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2018
Despite a seemingly fragmented interactional context, teachers and students in classrooms routinely manage to co-construct coherent, inter-related, and individually adapted learning trajectories distributed over days and weeks. The aim of this article is to explore with what interactional resources progressivity is accomplished in learning…

Hadjistassou, Stella; Joannidou, Shaunna; Molina, Pedro; Louca, Petros; Papmehl-Dufay, Ludvig – Education for Information, 2023
Drawing on Kucher's (2021) framework on digital game-based learning (DGBL), this paper introduces the development of game-based scenarios in two culturally distinctive and salient heritage sites in Cyprus and Sweden, the Neolithic village of Choirokoitia and the Iron Age Ringfort of Sandby Borg. The aim was to implement Kucher's (2021) five…

Patrik Holm – E-Learning and Digital Media, 2025
The increasing prevalence of online courses has highlighted the importance of digital literacy for students. This study investigates the relationship between digital literacy and academic achievement among students who participate in an online course on anatomy and physiology. The study also evaluates how different aspects of digital literacy,…
