"Läroboken - min trogne vän"
En studie om hur lärare använder sig av läroboken i matematikundervisning
The textbook is one of the instruments that teachers and students have available in their teaching. For many years has textbook regarded as being too controlling and as a barrier to students development in mathematics. Textbooks primary mission is to promote learning. My study aims to provide an overview of how effective teachers use the textbook in mathematics education as well as the pros and cons they see with their work. The work includes interviews with five active mathematics teachers. The results of the survey showed that every teacher in the study uses the textbook as the basis for their teaching. Teachers indicate that the textbook is not the starting point when planning their teachings but the textbook is used as an aid in teaching mathematics.
