Forskning
A research project about how pre-service teachers explain the solving of a linear equation and how another group of pre-service teachers rank these explanations assessed by comparative judgement. This involves students in Norway and Sweden and is a combination of different projects I have worked with earlier. Further, I am active in projects about algebra in compulsory school, and computer aided assessment. We were also invited to submit a paper to a special issue of Uniped, about the Centres of Excellence in Education. This study deals with engineering teachers’ views and experiences of a new assessment form in Mathematics 1, where MatRIC was involved. (updated in March 2026)
