1	Moving Mathematics : Exploring constructivist tools to enhance mathematics learning Aljundi, Liam January 2021 (has links) The challenges faced by mathematics education reflect the more immense difficulties of the schooling system as a whole. This thesis investigates such challenges in the light of an ethical learning foundation and aims for a transformation through the use of technologies as learning tools. Interaction design methods are used to craft constructivist learning kits that aim to move mathematics students from passive receivers of knowledge to active learners. The proposed tools modify new technologies by adapting them to teachers’ and learners’ needs to be best suited for mathematics classroom adoption. Additionally, social, political, and economic issues that may hinder the adoption of constructivist learning are presented and critically discussed. Finally, this thesis paves the way for future designers who aim to design mathematics educational kits by providing a design framework based on the learning theory and the design process presented in this thesis. constructivism constructivist learning mathematics education interaction design research through design participatory action research Arduino tangible user interface technological learning tools construction kits Interaction Technologies Interaktionsteknik Design Design Learning Lärande Pedagogy Pedagogik Mathematics Matematik
