SEMINAR SERIES - Digitally enhanced mathematics education: Lesson modules to support orchestration of mathematical qualities in instruction

The overall purpose of the project Digitally enhanced mathematics education: Lesson modules to support orchestration of mathematical qualities in instruction (DigiMath) was to contribute to developing teachers' capacity to exploit the opportunities for student learning in digitally enhanced mathematics instruction. The research team consisted of two researchers from the university and two teachers from a local primary school. Together we used an educational design methodology to develop teaching material in mathematics, taking the form of lesson modules, and produce data for research. The modules are on the themes of pattern generalization with digitally enhanced Math-Talk, coding in visual programming environments, informal hypothesis testing with digital simulation and visualization processes in dynamic geometry environments. I will present our framing of results in terms of lesson modules (www.digimath.se), design principles and conjecture maps as well as some of the results themselves during the seminar.

Dr Andreas Eckert

Dr Eckert is a Swedish mathematics education researcher employed at Örebro University. He did his PhD-project on the theoretical conceptualization of what it means to teach mathematics, focusing on teacher-student interaction. His experiences with developing material for the national professional development program MatteLyftet resulted in the government funded research project Digitally enhanced mathematics education: Lesson modules to support orchestration of mathematical qualities in instruction 2017–2020.
