This was a continuation of a previous project titled: “Discourses of Mathematical Modelling in Higher Education in Norway and England”. In this project we aimed to investigate the characteristics that some MM practices have according to how lecturers’ talk about MM. The project was funded by a Norwegian Centre for Research, Innovation and Coordination of Mathematics Teaching (MatRIC) small research grant and was a collaboration between Prof Yuriy Rogovchenko (University of Agder, Norway), Dr Stephanie Treffert-Thomas (Loughborough University, UK) and Dr Olov Viirman (University of Gavle, Sweden).
