Jankvist, Uffe Thomas; Clark, Kathleen Michelle; Mosvold, Reidar – Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, 2020
What mathematical knowledge is required for teaching has been researched by many, with Ball et al. (J Teach Educ 59(5):389-407, 2008) and their practice-based theory of mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT) primary among them. However, what is required in terms of mathematical knowledge for teacher educator training has been researched much…

Mosvold, Reidar; Jakobsen, Arne; Jankvist, Uffe Thomas – Science & Education, 2014
In this theoretical article, we aim at theorizing the old statement that mathematics teachers might profit from studying the history of mathematics. We do this by drawing upon the theoretical framework of mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT). A selection of international studies on the history and pedagogy of mathematics is used as starting…

Jankvist, Uffe Thomas – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2009
This is a theoretical article proposing a way of organizing and structuring the discussion of why and how to use the history of mathematics in the teaching and learning of mathematics, as well as the interrelations between the arguments for using history and the approaches to doing so. The way of going about this is to propose two sets of…

Jankvist, Uffe Thomas – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2011
The article discusses an empirical study on the use of history (as a goal) in mathematics education. A historical module was designed and implemented in a Danish upper secondary class to study how students' discussions of metaperspective issues of the historical development of mathematics may be anchored in the taught and learned subject matter of…

Jankvist, Uffe Thomas – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2010
This article discusses an empirical study on the use of history as a goal. A historical module is designed and implemented in a Danish upper secondary class in order to study the students' capabilities at engaging in meta-issue discussions and reflections on mathematics and its history. Based on videos of the implementation, students' hand-in…

Jankvist, Uffe Thomas – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2009
This article discusses the integration of history of modern applied mathematics in mathematics education as well as the possible teaching and learning benefits of introducing a newer history of mathematics over an old(er) one--something that seems to be done most often when integrating history. Three cases of the history of modern applied…
