Algoritmmakaren

Njurbyte, flyktingplacering och skolval. Skilda saker, men med den gemensamma nämnaren att med digitaliseringens nya verktyg går det att spara såväl tid som pengar – och rädda liv. ”Jag gillar inte när jag ser saker som är fel och som forskningen kan rätta till. Då är det upp till mig att ta mitt ansvar och

Dividing by zero: Exploring null results in a mathematics professional development program

Since 2002, U.S. federal funding for educational research has favored the development and rigorous testing of interventions designed to improve student outcomes. However, a large proportion of the programs developed and rigorously tested in the past decade have shown null results on both student outcomes and, often, intermediate variables. In this paper, we argue for

Hur påverkas elevers skolresultat av läroplanen?

Detta undersöker Johan Prytz, docent vid Uppsala universitet,  i en artikel publicerad i Nordic Journal of Educational History. “Mellan åren 1980 och 1995 förbättras svenska elevers resultat kraftigt i den internationella kunskapsmätningen TIMSS. Under just de åren var Lgr80 (Läroplanen för grundskolan 1980) i kraft, och enligt en studie från Uppsala universitet är det tydligt

Ancient maths could foil future cyber hackers

Ancient mathematical problems dating back to Babylonian times could hold the key to keeping our personal data and online payments safe from hackers in the future. A new project by a University of Reading mathematician, in collaboration with Microsoft, will study equations that have fascinated mathematicians for thousands of years, and explore how they might

Divide and conquer: a new formula to minimize ‘mathemaphobia’

Maths – it’s the subject some kids love to hate, yet despite its lack of popularity, mathematics is critical for a STEM-capable workforce and vital for Australia’s current and future productivity. In a new study by the University of South Australia in collaboration with the Australian Council for Educational Research, researchers have been exploring the
