Mathematics Education

Research in mathematics education is about the content and methods of mathematics teaching.

The mathematics education research group in Uppsala studies the phenomenon of teaching and learning mathematics in various ways. The studies cover all levels of education from preschool to university, both historically and in the present day. This includes studies of steering documents, professional development, teaching materials and tests – including their interrelationships –, and classroom interaction. The group studies educational aspects of, among other things, algebra, analysis, geometry, problem solving, programming and digital tools. Theories and methods are drawn from the field of mathematics education, but also from sociology, psychology, linguistics, and implementation research, for example. For more information about the group's research, see the profile pages of the group members.

The group has several international and national collaborations. These involve participation in other research groups, but also the organisation of networks and conferences. Several of the group's members are involved in various development projects, such as the development of teaching materials and teacher training projects.
