By analysing the data from three consecutive introductory lessons in eight third-grade classrooms, the aim is to contribute to research and conceptualisation around pupils' tensions in appropriating multiplication. The analysis provides examples of tensions that arose when pupils were required to relate a given physical tool to mathematical symbols, but tensions also exist when the pupils master the use of...

Teacher education students' strategic activities in challenging collaborative learning situations

Forty-three second-year teacher education students worked in small groups during a seven-week didactic math course. Individual students were interviewed after the course and asked about their interpretations of their collaboration in general, as well as their applied strategic activities during challenging collaborative learning s...

Creating relevant and supportive developmental conditions for children and youth with disabilities
This article aims to conceptualize how young people with severe disabilities can be supported in their development as social participants. Hedegaard assigned a pivotal role to the concepts of value positions, demands and motives in her wholeness approach. This conceptual approach guides the analysis of a study of young people with severe disability and highlights how parents develop their motives from the societal value position of inclusion and the general aim ‘to give their child the opportunity to realise his or her potentials’. The concept of moral imagination is used to explore the interrelation between imaginatio...

The intertwined effect of collaborative argumentation and whole-class talk on the process of scientific concept learning: A case study
Publication date: Available online 31 July 2018Source: Learning, Culture and Social InteractionAuthor(s): Antonia Larrain, Paulina Freire, Valeska Grau, Patricia López, Camila MoranAbstractThere is compelling evidence to show that peer argumentation prompts student scientific concept development at different ages. However, there is also evidence that when students discuss their ideas with their peers, the gains are delayed rather than being immediately evident. Moreover, group outcomes do not seem to be related to individual gains. It is hypothesized that peer discussions trigger a metacognitive process that, in turn, pro...
