Abstract [sv]

Närvaro och genomströmning vid föreläsningar och räkneövningar utgör en utmaning för många av Sveriges högskolor. Under det senaste decenniet har metodiken för räkneövningar i matematik utvecklats avsevärt. Lärare har övergett traditionella undervisningsmetoder, där studenter får hjälp genom handuppräckning eller genom att läraren löser svårare uppgifter på tavlan, till förmån för ett mer kollaborativt lärande. Den kollaborativa undervisningsmetoden på Blekinge Tekniska Högskola (BTH) innebär att studenter löser problem i mindre grupper genom diskussioner vid whiteboards. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka vad denna undervisningsmetod kan tillföra jämfört med mer traditionellt genomförda räkneövningar, med avseende på närvaro och genomströmning. Studenter på en grundkurs i fysik fick själva välja om de under kursens räkneövningarna ville tillhöra den individuella gruppen, som undervisades på traditionellt vis, eller den kollaborativa gruppen, som löste problem i mindre studentgrupper vid tavlan. Undersökningen visar att närvaron påverkades positivt för den kollaborativa gruppen, som även tenderar att spendera mer tid utanför den schemalagda undervisningen i kursen.

Abstract [en]

Attendance at lectures and problem-solving sessions is often low in many of Sweden's universities. For the past decade, the methodology for problem-solving sessions in mathematics has developed significantly. Teachers have abandoned traditional teaching methods, where students receive help by raising their hands or by the teacher solving more difficult problems on the board, in favor of more collaborative learning. The collaborative teaching methods at Blekinge Tekniska Högskola (BTH) involve students solving problems in smaller groups through discussions on whiteboards. The purpose of this study is to investigate how collaborative learning can contribute compared to more traditionally conducted problem-solving sessions, in terms of attendance and study results. Students in the introductory physics course were given the choice of whether they wanted to belong to the traditional group, who were taught individually, or the collaborative group, that solved problems in smaller groups on whiteboards, during the problem-solving sessions. Results show that attendance was positively affected for the collaborative group, which also tended to spend more time outside the scheduled teaching hours in the course.
