The Use of Graphics Calculators by Students in an Examination: What Do They Really Do?
Graham, T.; Headlam, C.; Honey, S.; Sharp, J.; Smith, A.
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, v34 n3 p319-34 May-Jun 2003
Questions the effectiveness of graphics calculators in developing mathematical understanding. Investigates how a small group of students actually used graphics calculators in examination conditions. Finds that very little was made of the calculator when taking the exam with most students preferring to use a scientific calculator instead unless a graph was specifically requested in the question.
