How do students perceive the equal sign? : Nuances of static and dynamic perception (English)
Abstract [sv]

Den här studien har som syfte att bidra med kunskap om elevers förståelse av likhetstecknet. Studien besvarar två frågeställningar: På vilka kvalitativt olika sätt uppfattar elever likhetstecknet? Vilka nyanser av statisk och dynamisk uppfattning av likhetstecknet framträder av elevernas uppfattningar? Datan består av semistrukturerade intervjuer med 14 elever som har genomförts i par. Studien är begränsad till årskurs 1–3.

Studien visar att elever kan ha olika uppfattningar av likhetstecknet både en statisk och dynamisk. Däremot visar studien också att ”statiskt” och ”dynamiskt” inte är tillräckligt för att beskriva hur elever uppfattar likhetstecknet. De nyanser av den statiska och dynamiska uppfattningen som presenteras i resultatet är: likhetstecknet indikerar ett svar, likhetstecknet som ett ”stopp”, likhetstecknet indikerarar att det måste finnas en uträkning och likhetstecknet indikerarar att det måste vara jämvikt.

Abstract [en]

The aim of this study is to contribute with knowledge about students' understanding of mathematical similarities. Two questions are answered: In what qualitative different ways do students perceive the equal sign? What nuances of static and dynamic perception of the equal sign emerge from students´ perceptions? Data are based on, semi-structured interviews with students 14 students. The interviews have been conducted in pairs. The study is limited to grades 1-3. 

The study show that students have different perceptions of the equal sign both static and dynamic. The results also show that “static” and “dynamic” are not sufficient to describe details in students perception of the equal sign The nuances of the static and dynamic perception presented in the result are: the equal sign indicates an answer, the equal sign as a "stop", the equal sign indicates that there must be a calculation, and the equal sign indicates that they must be equilibrium.
