Mathematics teacher students’ designs of degree projects
Juter, Kristina LU
(2026)
p.249-250
- Abstract
- This presentation concerns degree theses that students in mathematics teacher education write as reports of their degree projects. These theses represent the peak of the students’ scientific engagement within the programs and are used as examples for other students and benchmarks in governmental evaluations of teacher educations. This raises the question of what students select to study within their scientifically founded teacher education. Skau et al. (2025) found that qualitative methods along with themes related to learning and instruction are most common in Swedish teacher students’ theses. Empirical choices are influenced by various factors, such as difficulties in applying scientific frameworks, as found in a study of mathematics... (More)

These theses represent the peak of the students’ scientific engagement within the programs and are used as examples for other students and benchmarks in governmental evaluations of teacher educations.

Empirical choices are influenced by various factors, such as difficulties in applying scientific frameworks, as found in a study of mathematics teacher students’ use of frameworks (Juter, under review), or challenges in reading academic texts (Yore & Tang, 2022). The presentation builds on the question: What topics, objects of study and methods of analysis do students choose in degree projects in mathematics teacher education programs for secondary school levels?
