Makamure, Chipo; Jojo, Zingiswa M. – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
Literature has established that some learners encountered difficulties solving first order ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The use of error analysis in teaching ODEs is believed to make essential contribution towards calculus knowledge development. This paper therefore focuses on analyzing pre-service teachers' (PSTs) errors and…
