Shen, Ji; Confrey, Jere – International Journal of Science Education, 2010
Understanding frames of reference is critical in describing planetary motion and learning astronomy. Historically, the geocentric and heliocentric models were defended and advocated against each other. Today, there are still many people who do not understand the relationship between the two models. This topic is not adequately treated in astronomy…

Chazan, Daniel; Yerushalmy, Michal; Leikin, Roza – Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 2008
This interview study takes place in the context of a single small district in the United States. In the algebra curriculum of this district, there was a shift in the conception of equation, from a statement about unknown numbers to a question about the comparison of two functions over the domain of the real numbers. Using two of Shulman's…
