ABSTRACTThis master thesis defines a new concept ? Math Videos on the Net. The term refers to short,educational videos of mathematics that are freely available on the internet. The videos aredesigned to offer a complement to other course material for a specific element of a specific mathcourse and are directed to the target group of students studying the latter. Within this work, MathVideos on the Net have been created for the Swedish upper secondary school courses Matematik1b and 1c.The study aims to describe, analyze and interpret whether, and if so, how Math Videos on theNet can help support the work of teachers and students? development of knowledge in the firstmathematics course of the Swedish upper secondary school. Teachers are asked to test selectedMath Videos on the Net together with their students in the course Matematik 1b. Collectedresults from the test are analyzed and interpreted based on previous research of Information andCommunication Technology, ICT, in education as well as educational theories.The study shows that many students believe that their mathematical knowledge increases as aresult of math videos being included in the tuition. When the videos are used both in and outsidethe classroom, many students in particular believes that they get more out of teaching. Theweakest performing students from environments with low socioeconomic status do however notappear to benefit from these positive effects. In addition, the study indicates that the teacher?suse of the videos play a big role when it comes tohow Math Videos on the Net can supportstudents? development of knowledge.Keywords: Mathematics teaching and learning, ICT in education, Open Educational Resources(OER), Math Videos on the Net
