STEM Undergraduates' Structural Conception of Rate of Change
Kularajan, Sindura Subanemy; Czocher, Jennifer A.
North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (44th, Nashville, TN, Nov 17-20, 2022)
Using data from teaching experiments and theories from quantitative reasoning, we built second-order accounts of students' mathematics with regards to how they conceived rate of change through operating on existing quantities. In this report, we explain three different ways STEM undergraduates structurally conceive rate of change as they constructed mathematical models for real-world scenarios.
