History of Mathematics in Mathematics Education : Strategies and results from the classroom (English)
Abstract [sv]

Det här examensarbetet undersöker vilka effekter en undervisning med matematikhistorisk prägel har på eleverna, samt vilka faktorer i en sådan undervisning som kan påverka utfallet. När matematikhistoria betraktas som ett verktyg i matematikundervisningen förväntas elever påverkas affektivt och/eller kognitivt. Med synen på matematikhistoria som ett verktyg är två strategier för undervisning lämpliga – historisk upplysning och historiska paket. Med historisk upplysning inkluderas matematikhistoria i matematikundervisningen genom kortare anekdotiska inslag eller problem. Historiska paket är små moduler i undervisningen, som behandlar ett avgränsat ämne inom matematiken, och har en nära koppling tillläroplanen. Analysen genomfördes utifrån en litteraturstudie, och visar att båda strategiernakan påverka eleverna affektivt och kognitivt. Faktorer som kan påverka utfallet är elevernas ålder och förkunskaper, lärarens kompetens, graden av interaktivitet i undervisningen ochdet material som används.

Abstract [en]

This thesis investigates potential effects on students from including history of mathematics inmathematics education, and what circumstances within such education can influence the outcome. When the history of mathematics is considered a tool in teaching, pupils are expected to be influenced in a cognitive and/or affective way. From this perspective, two strategies are considered appropriate – the illumination approach or historical packages. The illumination approach includes short historical anecdotes or problems, whereas the historical packages are designed to teach an isolated subject within mathematics and are closely connected to the curriculum. The analysis was based on a literature study and shows that both strategies can influence pupils in a cognitive and affective way. Circumstances that influence the outcome are the age and previous knowledge of the pupils, teacher competence, the level of interactivity amongst the pupils and the material used in the teaching.
