Roxana Jimenez – ProQuest LLC, 2023
This qualitative case study pursued to describe the different strategies Mexican American adult students in a local community college used to graph function transformations. Participants in the study were purposefully selected using a criterion sampling to ensure participants were atypical, above average students between the ages 18-22, and had a…

Morgado Hernández, Cindy Nathalia; Sánchez, Ernesto Sánchez – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2021
We report the results of a study on informal covariate statistical reasoning conducted with 22 students (aged 16 and 18 years). We designed and implemented a task in a digital technology environment to introduce the line of best fit. The task design having elements that foresee misconceptions reported in the literature, and by focusing on four…

Doruk, Muhammet – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2019
The aim of this study is to question freshmen's conceptual knowledge on function. In this context, after the teaching of the function, students' skills of defining the concept of function, interpreting the definition and multirepresentation for the function were examined. In the study, qualitative research approach was adopted and was an example…

Wakhata, Robert; Balimuttajjo, Sudi; Mutarutinya, Védaste – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2023
The present study explored 285 11th-grade students' preconceptions, misconceptions, and errors in solving mathematics tasks by graphical method. A descriptive-explorative study design was adopted. Cluster sampling was used to select students from sampled secondary schools in eastern and central Uganda. Students' paper and pen solution sketches…

Ceuppens, Stijn; Bollen, Laurens; Deprez, Johan; Dehaene, Wim; De Cock, Mieke – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019
We design, validate, and administer a 24-item test to study student understanding of linear functions in 1D kinematics [x(t)] and mathematics [y(x)] in the 9th grade. The items assess identification and comparison of initial position and velocity in 1D kinematics and of the y intercept and slope in mathematics using a graph or an algebraic…

Kurz, Terri L.; Yanik, H. Bahadir – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2019
Elementary pre-service teachers in an upper-division algebra mathematics content course explored graphing through the use of Calculator-Based Rangers™ (CBRs). This study explores how they used the "Distance Match" feature of the technology to engage in algebraic thinking. Operating CBR technology, pre-service teachers' perceptions…

Küchemann, Stefan; Malone, Sarah; Edelsbrunner, Peter; Lichtenberger, Andreas; Stern, Elsbeth; Schumacher, Ralph; Brünken, Roland; Vaterlaus, Andreas; Kuhn, Jochen – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
Representational competence is essential for the acquisition of conceptual understanding in physics. It enables the interpretation of diagrams, graphs, and mathematical equations, and relating these to one another as well as to observations and experimental outcomes. In this study, we present the initial validation of a newly developed…

Van den Eynde, Sofie; van Kampen, Paul; Van Dooren, Wim; De Cock, Mieke – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019
We report on a study investigating the influence of context, direction of translation, and function type on undergraduate students' ability to translate between graphical and symbolic representations of mathematical relations. Students from an algebra-based and a calculus-based physics course were asked to solve multiple-choice items in which they…

Green, Simon; McGlynn, Susan; Stuart, Deidre; Fahey, Paul; Pettigrew, Jim; Clothier, Peter – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2018
The effect of high school study of mathematics on numeracy performance of sports and exercise science (SES) students is not clear. To investigate this further, we tested the numeracy skills of 401 students enrolled in a Bachelor of Health Sciences degree in SES using a multiple-choice survey consisting of four background questions and 39 numeracy…

Wilkie, Karina J. – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2016
Algebra has been explicit in many school curriculum programs from the early years but there are competing views on what content and approaches are appropriate for different levels of schooling. This study investigated 12-13-year-old Australian students' algebraic thinking in a hybrid environment of functional and equation-based approaches to…

Thomas, Ryan Vail – ProQuest LLC, 2016
The goal of this study is to explore and characterize the effects of using a dynamic graphing utility (DGU) on conceptual understanding and attitudes toward mathematics, measured by the responses of college algebra students to an attitude survey and concepts assessment. Two sections of college algebra taught by the primary researcher are included…

El-khateeb, Mahmoud M. A. – Journal of Education and Learning, 2015
The purpose of this study was to investigate the misperceptions and performance of king Saud University students' about concept and finding the limit of same partial functions given in the form of both graphical and symbolic. In the collection of the data, the researcher employed the open-ended question test consisted of four items. Firstly,…

Caldwell, Frank W., Jr. – 1995
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the TI-81 Graphics Calculator as an instructional tool on college algebra students' conceptual and procedural achievements involving functions and graphs and on the students' attitudes toward mathematics. The study was a posttest-only, equivalent control group design conducted with students…

Yerushalmy, M. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 1991
Describes a study of eighth graders that examined the effect of the use of a linked multiple representation software program on student conceptions of algebraic functions, including graphing techniques. Results of classroom observations and paper-and-pencil tests are discussed, and the adapted curriculum used in the experiment is described. (17…
