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.\nLink for the page of the talk: https://www.ind.ku.dk/be givenheder/2020/the-relation-between-mathematics-and-programmingcomputatio nal-thinking-in-danish-and-swedish-compulsory-schools/\n\nYou can particip ate online via Zoom: https://ucph-ku.zoom.us/j/66271176163\n\nSpeakers\n\n Bo Teglskov Kristensen\, Consultant\, Center for Teaching Materials\, Univ ersity College Lillebælt.\nBo is involved in an ongoing\, national resear ch and development project where a new school subject entitled “Technolo gy understanding” is being implemented in 46 Danish schools. As part of this project\, Bo has been involved in developing a supplement to the Dani sh mathematics curriculum that addresses the new subject and in developing lessons that connect technology understanding and mathematics.\n\nLennart Rolandsson\, Senior Lecturer\, Didactics of technology\, Uppsala Universi ty.\nLennart has done research on programming teachers’ beliefs and inte ntions in relation to curriculum and is currently involved in a research p roject concerning the relation between algebraic thinking and computationa l thinking in Swedish compulsory school mathematics.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/DidMat/7/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
