Hur kommuniceras värderingarav matematik i kursplanen?
En diskursanalys av värderingar i kommentarmaterialet tillkursplanen i matematik.
This study is part of an international project, The Third Wave Project. The project aims to conductstudies with students of different cultures to see what they value as important in mathematics andmathematics learning. Part of the project involves carrying out a survey, the WIFI study. The WiFistudyaims to examine values of mathematics teaching that may affect student learning. The valuesthat are examined in this study are based on the mathematical values which are described by Bishop(1991). The WiFi-study conducted in Sweden will explore the values that may be typical of a Swedishcontext. This work is part of the Swedish group's work in translating the WiFi study to a Swedishcontext. One way to do this is to examine whether and how the values are represented in thecurriculum for the Swedish compulsory school.The aim of this study is to identify the implications of how the use and choice of words in thecurriculum explicitly or implicitly highlights values. This is done through a critical discourse analysis.In this work it is discussed how the values is used both explicitly and implicitly in the curriculum.
