This study reports from 21 pre-service teachers’ (PST) experiences of working with learner-generated example tasks for the first time, through a computer-aided assessment system. The PSTs were observed during engagement with the digital tasks and three of the students volunteered to a follow-up interview. Results indicate that most PSTs found these tasks difficult and struggled to grasp the new approach. Additionally, the one PST who solved all tasks correctly also was the only one that enjoyed the new working strategy. This suggests that new working methods can be overwhelming for PSTs, and that it takes time to engage and implement mathematical tasks designed in a new way.

Pre-service teachers' mathematical learning in an online assessment system.
Vis sammendrag
Tools for assessing digitally has become widespread and assessable in mathematics. Combined with the Covid-19 pandemic, we have reached a point where computer aided assessment is a part of university mathematics. Thus, there is a need to map ways to use computer aided assessment that strengthen students’ mathematical learning. Therefore, my aim is to study how an online assessment system influence students’ mathematical learning. To reach this aim, my research question is “How do pre-service teachers’ mathematical working methods and learning develop when using STACK?”
Digital assessment opens for opportunities and advantages traditional pen and paper environments cannot provide. However, what are these opportunities and advantages? In what ways does this influence students’ mathematical learning? How do students use STACK as an instrument for learning mathematics?
This is a pilot study where I will investigate how pre-service teachers use the online assessment system STACK to study mathematics. The students have chosen mathematics as their main subject. This is their second semester with mathematics, and focus is on algebra and linear and quadratic functions. In addition to traditional teaching, I will give the students STACK tasks to work with during problem solving sessions. These tasks do not influence the grading of the students. It is a formative assessment as a supplement for their mathematical learning.
After completing the STACK tasks, I will conduct semi-structured interviews with students. The emphasis is on students experience of using this tool, and their reflections on their mathematical learning and working methods when they work in a digital assessment system. The aim is to understand what changes with the mathematical learning when students work with computer aided assessment.
This is work in progress, interviews will be conducted this February and preliminary results will be presented at the conference.
I en annerledes episode av Spøkelser etter avdøde størrelser har Niclas Larson intervjuet foredragsholdere og deltakere i Konferanse for lærerutdannere i matematikk, KLæM 22. Dette har blitt satt sammen til en episode som rapporterer om noen av bidragene på konferansen og hva et par av deltakerne syntes om innholdet. Dessuten får vi igjen møte Andy the Candy, som var gjest i 10. episode sesong 1 – PhD student under cover.
