Learning To Graph Linear Functions: A Case Study of Conceptual Change.

Chiu, Ming Ming; Kessel, Cathy; Moschkovich, Judit; Munoz-Nunez, Agustin

Cognition and Instruction, v19 n2 p215-52 2001

Examined how student's strategies and associated conceptions emerged and changed over a 6-session tutoring curriculum designed to develop conceptual knowledge of linear functions. Found that the student did not erase his original conception or replace it with a conception supported by instruction, but instead refined his initial strategies and conceptions. (Author/SD)
