Isaac Gyan Ayeh – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2025
Functions and graphs are fundamental mathematical concepts in mathematics and are vital to helping students comprehend the relationship between variables and other advanced topics in higher-level mathematics. Research has shown that students continually possess misconceptions and inaccurate thinking about functions and function representations.…

O'Sullivan, Kathy; O'Meara, Niamh; Goos, Merrilyn; Conway, Paul – Irish Educational Studies, 2021
Our everyday lives have been transformed in 2020. Key features of this transformation have been the significance of COVID-related numeracy in our everyday lives and the realisation of the story it might tell about lives, health and death. In recent years, governments and educators around the world have been advocating for numeracy as an essential…

Sokolowski, Andrzej – Physics Education, 2021
Research has identified several students' misinterpretations of the principles of the photoelectric effect (PE). Students cannot interpret the formula using the graph's context despite the linear dependence inherited in it. Many studies pointed out that the graphical representation of kinetic energy of the ejected electrons versus frequency of…

Sokolowski, Andrzej – Physics Education, 2017
Graphs in physics are central to the analysis of phenomena and to learning about a system's behavior. The ways students handle graphs are frequently researched. Students' misconceptions are highlighted, and methods of improvement suggested. While kinematics graphs are to represent a real motion, they are also algebraic entities that must satisfy…

Koklu, Oguz; Topcu, Abdullah – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2012
Pre-existing misconceptions are serious impediments to learning in mathematics. Means for detecting and correcting them have received much attention in the literature of educational research. Dynamic geometry software has been tried at different grade levels. This quasi-experimental study investigates the effect of Cabri-assisted instruction on…

Montiel, Mariana; Vidakovic, Draga; Kabael, Tangul – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2009
The present study was implemented as a prelude to a study on the generalization of the single variable function concept to multivariate calculus. In the present study we analyze students' mental processes and adjustments, as they are being exposed to single variable calculus with polar coordinates. The results show that there appears to be a…
