Abstract [en]
Throughout our teaching studies we have been briefly introduced to a few different digital mathematical programs. Nonetheless we have seldom used, nor experienced, them during our teacher-supervised placement. Therefore we wanted to explore the intentions behind a specific digital mathematical program, Kikora, compared to how teachers use it in their daily education. We also wanted to compare the company’s believes of how to motivate students and how to give feedback with the teachers’. We used the behavioristic learning theory as our framework. To fulfill our purpose we carried out a few interviews with a few teachers as well as one of Kikora’s employees. The results showed many similarities, as well as a few differences, in the company’s and the teachers’ opinions in how the program should be used, how students should get motivated and receive feedback. For example, almost all of the teachers used Kikora in the same way as the company had intended, to let students practice their mathematical skills and for homework. There were a few differences in how the teachers thought the program should be used to motivate their pupils. Throughout this master thesis we have gained a lot of useful knowledge for our future teaching careers.
