Presentation
My name is Maria Silwer and I am a PhD student at the Faculty of Learning and Society and the Department of Natural Sciences, Mathematics and Society (NMS). My research focuses on feedback in digital learning tools for mathematics for pupils in Years 4–6. I am researching, on the one hand, how the feedback provided by digital learning tools encourages pupils to be active and learn mathematics – or fails to do so – but also how the feedback communicated creates different conditions for the diverse range of pupils found in mathematics classrooms in Swedish schools. For which pupils does this create opportunities, and for which does it not? I am also interested in how pupils themselves describe how they use the feedback they receive when using digital learning tools in their maths lessons.
Background
My background consists of a long teaching experience as a teacher and tutor (in mathematics) for pupils in grades 1-6. I have also worked with teacher education i mathematiks education at what was then called Pedagogisk Inspiration in Malmö, been a mathematics developer in one of Malmö's districts and led the mathematics lift. In recent years, I have worked as a teacher in mathematics education at Kristianstad University.
Right now
Right now am I teaching Mathematics Education to preschool teachers teaching in pre-school classes and will be visiting teachers to bee, in practice.
