Even, Ruhama – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1993
Analyzed questionnaire responses of 152 prospective secondary mathematics teachers, 10 of whom were interviewed, to investigate their knowledge of the concept of function. Results indicated that many did not have a modern concept of function, a limitation that influenced their pedagogical approach. (Contains 45 references.) (MDH)
