Abstract [en]

Dyscalculia is a specific learning disability that’s affecting brain capacity of individuals, more specifically the ability to perform specific mathematical operations. Given that there is little research about how dyscalculia is supposed to be treated teachers are faced with these students anyway. This study aims at how math teachers view and handle students in dyscalculia in the upper secondary school. Data were collected through 66 random picked math teachers who answered a web based survey.The teachers generally perceive the concept of dyscalculia in various ways. It turns out that the female teachers perceive dyscalculia to a greater extent from a cognitive perspective than the male teachers. Analytics also show that most of the teachers work in a school that doesn't have any systematic work to detect or manage students with dyscalculia.

Abstract [sv]

Dyskalkyli är en inlärningssvårighet som påverkar hjärnkapaciteten hos individer, mer detaljerat påverkas förmågan att utföra specifika matematiska operationer. Lärare möter elever i dyskalkyli trots att kunskap om begreppet kanske saknas och den tunna forskningen som finns gör inte uppgiften enklare. Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur matematiklärare på gymnasiet uppfattar och hanterar dyskalkyli. Datan samlades in genom en webbenkät där 66 slumpmässigt utvalda matematiklärare svarade på enkätundersökningen.Lärarna uppfattade generellt begreppet dyskalkyli på olika sätt. Det visar sig att de kvinnliga lärarna uppfattar dyskalkyli i större utsträckning ur ett kognitivt perspektiv än de manliga lärarna. Analysen visar även att majoriteten av lärarna arbetar på en skola som inte har ett systematiskt arbetssätt för att upptäcka och hantera elever i dyskalkyli.
