Secondary School Calculus: Preparation or Pitfall in the Study of College Calculus?
Ferrini-Mundy, Joan; Gaudard, Marie
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v23 n1 p56-71 Jan 1992
This study investigated the effects of various levels of secondary school calculus experience on performance in first-year college calculus, with focus on student performance on conceptual and procedural exam items. Students who had a year of secondary school calculus differed significantly in performance from those who had either no experience or only a brief introduction. (56 references) (Author)
