Manipulatives in mathematics teaching (English)
Abstract [sv]

Det finns en bred variation av hjälpmedel som existerar i syfte att stödja matematikundervisning. Ett av dessa hjälpmedel kan benämnas konkreta material. Syftet med denna studie är dels att undersöka hur forskningsfältet kring konkreta material ser ut, dels att undersöka vilka utmaningar användandet av konkreta material medför. Konkreta material är fysiska (ej digitala) material som går att manipulera i syfte att stödja inlärningen av olika matematiska begrepp. Forskningsfältet har sammanställts genom en systematisk litteraturstudie. Resultatet visar att ett flertal kategorier inom forskningen kan urskiljas, där en kategori specifikt lyfter hur gynnsam användningen av konkreta material är. Resultatet visar också att det finns många utmaningar som läraren måste ta hänsyn till för att användandet av konkreta material ska bli meningsfullt. Diskussionen lyfter att ett flertal av artiklarna skulle gynnas av ett kritiskt perspektiv, samt att fler empiriska studier med ett kritiskt förhållningssätt inom området skulle behövas.

Abstract [en]

There is a wide variety of aids that exist to support mathematics teaching. One category of these aids can be referred to as manipulatives. The purpose of this study is partly to examine what the research field around manipulatives looks like, and partly to examine what challenges the use of manipulatives entails. Manipulatives are physical (not digital) materials that can be manipulated in order to support the learning of various mathematical concepts. Through a systematic literature study, the research field has been compiled. The result shows that a number of categories can be distinguished within the research, where one category specifically highlights how favorable the use of manipulatives is. The results also show that there are many challenges that teachers must take into account in order to use manipulatives in a meaningful way. The discussion highlights that several of the articles would benefit from a critical perspective, and that more empirical studies with a critical approach in the field would be needed.
