Interpretation, planning, and support : A qualitative study on how multilingual students experience the context of text-based problem-solving tasks in mathematics. (English)
Abstract [sv]

I takt med att den svenska skolan blir allt mer mångkulturell ökar behovet av inkluderande undervisning. Flerspråkiga elever möter både text och tal i matematikundervisningen, vilket ställer krav på läs- och matematikförmåga. Denna studie undersöker hur flerspråkiga elever upplever kontexten i textbaserade problemlösningsuppgifter, med fokus på hinder i processen och hur stöd kan hittas i uppgiftskontexten. Pólyas problemlösningsmodell användes för att identifiera var problem kan uppstå, och medieringstriangeln användes för att identifiera mönster i hur elever finner stöd. Studien använder en kvalitativ metod med semistrukturerade intervjuer och problemlösningsuppgifter som komplement. Resultatet visade att eleverna hade svårigheter vid övergången mellan tolkningsfasen och planeringsfasen. Under granskningsfasen hade eleverna svårt att motivera sina val. Eleverna fann stöd i uppgifter med mindre komplex kontext, där de lättare kunde urskilja matematiska relationsbegrepp och symboler. Intresset för kontexten spelade också en viktig roll för deras problemlösningsförmåga.

Abstract [en]

As the Swedish school system becomes increasingly multicultural, the need for inclusive education is growing. Multilingual students encounter both text and numbers in mathematics education, which demands both reading and mathematical ability. This study examined how multilingual students experience the context of text-based problem-solving tasks, focusing on obstacles in the process and how support can be found in the task context. Pólya's problem-solving model was used to identify where problems may arise, and the mediation triangle was employed to identify patterns in how students find support. The study employed a qualitative method with semi-structured interviews and supplementary problem-solving tasks. The results showed that students struggled with the transition between the interpretation phase and the planning phase. During the review phase, students had difficulty justifying their choices. Students found support in tasks with less complex contexts, where they could more easily discern mathematical relational concepts and symbols. Interest in the context also played a significant role in their problem-solving ability.
