Resumé

Universitetets matematikundervisning er typisk struktureret omkring forelæsninger med envejskommunikation, efterfulgt af instruktortimer, hvor studerende engagerer sig i opgaveløsning. Dette studie præsenterer en undersøgelse, hvor en underviser på to forskellige matematikhold inden for ingeniøruddannelsen har lavet undersøgelser med ny undervisningspraksis beskrevet som ”Det tænkende klasserum” udviklet af Peter Liljedahl. Denne praksis involverer bl.a. indledning af undervisningen med åbne problemløsningsopgaver, anvendelse af tilfældigt sammensatte trepersonersgrupper i undervisningen og brugen af lodrette, ikke-permanente tavleflader under gruppearbejdet.

Gennem semesteret er der systematisk indsamlet data i form af undervisningsobservationer, evalueringssurveys og instruktorinterviews. Artiklens resultater belyser forskellige potentielle fordele ved denne tilgang, men identificerer også enkelte udfordringer. Dette bidrager til en dybere forståelse af dynamikken, der opstår ved implementeringen af disse nye undervisningsmetoder og deres indvirkning på både undervisningsprocessen og de studerendes sociale tilhørsforhold samt læring af matematik på universitetet.
