Chagwiza, Conilius Jaison; Maharaj, Aneshkumar; Brijlall, Deonarain – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2020
In this paper we focused on university mathematics students' mental constructions on the concept limit of a sequence. The aim was to explore the nature of the mental constructions and to contribute to Action-Process-Object-Schema (APOS) theory in terms of instructional strategy for teaching limit of sequences. The belief that understanding…

Ndlovu, Zanele; Brijlall, Deonarain – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2015
This study is part of ongoing research in undergraduate mathematics education. The study was guided by the belief that understanding the mental constructions the pre-service teachers make when learning matrix algebra concepts leads to improved instructional methods. In this preliminary study the data was collected from 85 pre-service teachers…
