Mathematical reasoning ability among pupils in year 3 : Studying young learners’ problem-solving skills (English)
Abstract [sv]

Denna studie syftar till att undersöka vilka matematiska resonemang som framträder när elever i årskurs 3 arbetar med problemlösning, samt hur de beskriver och värderar sitt arbete med problemlösning inom matematikundervisningen. Genom att möjliggöra för eleverna att aktivt delta och verbalisera sina strategier, erfarenheter och reflektioner i relation till problemlösningsuppgifter, syftar studien till att synliggöra deras delaktighet i undervisningen. Vidare avser studien att belysa elevers inställning till problemlösning samt hur denna aspekt av matematikundervisningen värderas ur ett elevperspektiv. Resultaten indikerar att elevernas resonemang varierar och utvecklas över tid, samt att deras språkbruk och självpositionering påverkar deras engagemang i ämnet. Studien betonar därmed vikten av en undervisning som integrerar både kognitiv utveckling och diskursiv delaktighet, det vill säga att eleverna ges möjlighet att aktivt delta i gemensamma samtal, dela sina tankar, lyssna på andras perspektiv och tillsammans resonera kring olika idéer.

Abstract [en]

The aim of this study is to investigate the types of mathematical reasoning that emerge when third-grade students engage in problem-solving, as well as how they describe and evaluate their work with problem-solving in mathematics education. By enabling students to actively participate and verbalize their strategies, experiences, and reflections related to problem-solving tasks, the study seeks to illuminate their involvement in the teaching process. Furthermore, the study aims to highlight students’ attitudes toward problem-solving and how this aspect of mathematics education is valued from the students’ perspective. The findings indicate that students’ reasoning varies and develops over time, and that their language use and self-positioning influence their engagement with the subject. Consequently, the study underscores the importance of instruction that integrates both cognitive development and discursive participation to promote students’ growth as active and reflective problem solvers.
