A qualitative study of how students with mathematical difficulties perceive their school situation (English)
Abstract [sv]
Syftet med den här studien har varit att undersöka hur elever med matematiksvårigheter uppfattar sina svårigheter och hur det påverkar deras skolsituation. Syftet har besvarats genom kvalitativa intervjuer med 13 stycken elever i årskurs 1-3 på tre olika skolor i två kommuner.
Resultatet visar att elever i denna ålder inte är medvetna om sina svårigheter och att de uppfattar en-till-en undervisning positivt trots att den inte sker i klassrummet. Elever beskriver att de tycker väldigt mycket om matematik trots att de får specialpedagogisk undervisning i ämnet. Vidare visar resultatet att elevers svårigheter i ämnet matematik inte påverkar deras uppfattning negativt av deras skolsituation. Resultatet tar även upp ett tredje tema om elevers uppfattning av läxor i ämnet matematik. Elever uppfattar att läxhjälp på skolan är mycket positiv och att de genom skolans läxhjälp arbetar bättre än hemma.
Abstract [en]
The purpose of this study has been to investigate how students with mathematical difficulties perceive their difficulties and how it affects their school situation. The purpose has been answered through qualitative interviews with 13 students in the early grades in three different schools in two municipalities.
The result shows that students of this age are not aware of their difficulties and that they perceive one-on-one teaching positively even though it does not happen in the classroom. Students describe that they like mathematics even though they receive special education on the subject. Furthermore, the results show that students' difficulties in the subject of mathematics do not adversely affect their perception of their school situation. The result also brings up a third categorization of pupils' perception of homework in the subject of mathematics. Students perceive that homework help at school is very positive and that they work better at school than they do at home.
