Rasmussen, Chris – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2016
A challenge in mathematics education research is to coordinate different analyses to develop a more comprehensive account of teaching and learning. I contribute to these efforts by expanding the constructs in Cobb and Yackel's (1996) interpretive framework that allow for coordinating social and individual perspectives. This expansion involves four…

Whitehead, Karen; Rasmussen, Chris – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2003
This paper reports on research conducted to understand undergraduate students' ways of reasoning about systems of differential equations (SDEs). As part of a semester long classroom teaching experiment in a first course in differential equations, we conducted task-based interviews with six students after their study of first order differential…

Rasmussen, Chris L. – 1998
This study investigated six students' understandings of and difficulties with qualitative and numerical methods for analyzing differential equations. From an individual cognitive perspective, the obstacles found to influence the development of students' understandings included the function dilemma, the tendency to overgeneralize, interference from…

Ellis, Wade, Jr. – 1984
The mathematics curriculum in the first 2 years of college is a tool created to assist in solving problems. The current mathematics curriculum has changed little; the same topics, tied to the engineering and science curriculum, are taught as they were being taught in 1945. The problems that students need to solve have changed however. Both the…
