Tittel

Network for research on mathematics textbooks in the Nordic countries

Sammendrag

The Nordic network for research on mathematics textbooks consists of six groups of researchers and doctoral students from the Nordic and Baltic countries and a group of international scholars active in the research area. The groups belong to University of Agder and Sør-Trøndelag University College in Norway, Iceland University, Luleå University of Technology in Sweden, University of Oulu in Finland and Tallin University in Estonia.The aims of the network are multiple. The main aim is to increase the Nordic and Baltic collaboration in research on mathematics textbooks with implications for teachers teaching, students learning, and decisions by policymakers and publishing houses. In this way we aim for reaching better quality of ongoing and new studies and inspiring to comparative studies, longitudinal studies or replication studies to get broader evidence of the situation in the Nordic and Baltic countries. The network will support the master and doctoral studies and help students to finish in good ways through offering new opportunities to learn about research on mathematicstextbooks.Another aim is to produce anthologies on research on textbooks suitable for teacher education and to publish in scientific journalsand journals for teachers. Such publications will build on the collective knowledge and insights of all members in the network.We also intend to build up cooperation with publishing houses in order to offer research based evidence for authors about valuablefeatures, content and structures for mathematics textbooks. We want to use the advantages of shared Nordic history and culture,values and structures of society, educational systems and traditions and language bridges.The network will create deeper cooperation among isolated researchers by organising research seminars and workshops, where joint work can be carried out. An important part of the work will be to disseminate knowledge about research on textbooks in order to improve textbooks for pupils' learning and teachers' teaching.
