Although it is often highlighted th at there are strong potential synergies between PCT and mathematics educat ion\, there are still few empirical examples of how these synergies can be exploited in concrete mathematical activities. At this seminar\, two spea kers from Denmark and Sweden will give talks on how the two PCT is envisio ned to be integrated in the mathematics curriculum for compulsory schools in Denmark and Sweden\, what role the two topics play in relation to each other\, and what challenges the two countries currently are facing regardi ng these matters.\n\nYou can participate online via Zoom: https://ucph-ku. zoom.us/j/66271176163\n\nSpeakers\n\nBo Teglskov Kristensen\, Consultant\, Center for Teaching Materials\, University College Lillebælt.\nBo is inv olved in an ongoing\, national research and development project where a ne w school subject entitled “Technology understanding” is being implemen ted in 46 Danish schools. As part of this project\, Bo has been involved i n developing a supplement to the Danish mathematics curriculum that addres ses the new subject and in developing lessons that connect technology unde rstanding and mathematics.\n\nLennart Rolandsson\, Senior Lecturer\, Didac tics of technology\, Uppsala University.\nLennart has done research on pro gramming teachers’ beliefs and intentions in relation to curriculum and is currently involved in a research project concerning the relation betwee n algebraic thinking and computational thinking in Swedish compulsory scho ol mathematics.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/DidMat/4/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
