Hawthorne, Casey; Rasmussen, Chris – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2015
While a significant amount of research has been devoted to exploring why university students struggle applying logic, limited work can be found on how students actually make sense of the notational and structural components used in association with logic. We adapt the theoretical framework of unitizing and reification, which have been effectively…
