Grothérus, Annika; Jeppsson, Fredrik; Samuelsson, Joakim – Educational Action Research, 2019
The aim of the present study is to advocate the use of a participatory action research programme, the Formative Scaffolding Programme (FSP), in mathematics. The FSP's main structure is presented as well as an implementation of a class intervention, with the aim of exploring the FSP test cycle's virtues in a social science class in a Swedish…

Hannah, John; Stewart, Sepideh; Thomas, Mike – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2013
Linear algebra with its rich theoretical nature is a first step towards advanced mathematical thinking for many undergraduate students. In this paper, we consider the teaching approach of an experienced mathematician as he attempts to engage his students with the key ideas embedded in a second-year course in linear algebra. We describe his…
