A Riemann–Kempf singularity theorem for higher rank Brill-Noether loci

Hitching, George Harry (Wiley, 2020-06-09)

Given a vector bundle V over a curve X, we deﬁne and study a surjective rational map Hilbd(PV ) 99K Quot0,d(V ∗) generalising the natural map SymdX → Quot0,d(OX). We then give a generalisation of the geometric Riemann–Roch ...

Arbeidstekster i utforskende arbeidsmetoder

Bjørkvold, Tuva (Universitetet i Oslo, 2020)

Inquiry learning depends on a variety of writing in order to plan, collect data and keep track of the information. In school science, however, writing to document teacher initiated experiments, following a setup, is ...

Testing the negative recency effect among teacher students trying to generate random sequences.

Imenes, Olav Gravir (European Society for Research in Mathematics EducationFreudenthal Group & Freudenthal Institute, 2019)

Students of a teacher training program (N=124) were asked to generate, unaided, a binary sequence of 40 symbols appearing to be as random as possible. It was found that the average probability of alternation, P(A), was ...

Barnehagelæreres samtalestrategier og fem-seks-åringers deltakelse i utvidende samtaler

Røe-Indregård, Hanne; Hølland, Silje; Hagtvet, Bente Eriksen (Norsk Logopedlag, 2019)

I denne casestudien undersøkte vi hvordan kvaliteter ved barnehagelæreres samtalestrategier legger til rette for barns deltakelse i utvidende samtaler. Vi studerte samtaler mellom barnehagelærere og barn i fem-seks-årsalderen ...

The story of Maia: I will try to survive!

Bjerke, Annette Hessen (European Society for Research in Mathematics Education, 2019)

Two major concerns in mathematics teacher education research are the role of subject matter knowledge and the development of self-efficacy in teaching mathematics (SETM) in preservice teachers (PSTs). These two bodies of ...

Om læraren sin levande kunnskap

Æsøy, Knut Ove (Pædagogisk Filosofisk Forening, 2018-12-31)

Det er eit uttalt mål å gjøre grunnskulelærarutdanninga forskingsbasert. I det dominerande tankemønsteret i grunnskulelærarutdanninga er det konstruert ei motsetning mellom vitskapleg kunnskap og erfaringskunnskap. Vitskapleg ...

Exams in calculations/mathematics in Norway 1946–2017 – content and form

Smestad, Bjørn; Fossum, Aina (European Society for Research in Mathematics Education, 2019)

Mathematics has been a constant part of Norwegian primary schooling. This impression of constancy is misleading, however. In the period from 1946 to 2017, the subject ‘regning’ (calculations) had its name changed to ...
