  • TENSIONS IN THE SWEDISH FRITIDSHEM MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM

    2019. Anna Wallin, Eva Norén, Paola Valero. The 10th International Mathematics Education and Society Conference

    Conference

    In 2016 the Swedish fritidshem got its own curriculum where mathematics is formally

    introduced. The space where students can experience informal forms of mathematics

    in activities derived out of their own interest risks being slowly transformed into a

    schoolified form of mathematics, steered by teachers and striving for learning

    effectiveness. A policy enactment perspective was used to investigate the material,

    interpretive and discursive dimensions of the enactment process. Based on document

    analysis, observations and interviews in two cases, tensions between two different and

    competing discourses were identified: one driven by student’s interests and one driven

    by teacher’s mathematical agenda. The meaning of fritidshem math will configure in

    the tensions about what counts as desirable forms of mathematical activity in practice.
