Peer reviewedDe Bock, Dirk; Verschaffel, Lieven; Janssens, Dirk – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1998
Reports on two closely related studies on students' tendency to use linear models in situations in which they are not applicable. Results provide a convincing demonstration of the predominance of the linear model in secondary students' solutions to this kind of mensurational problem. Contains 25 references. (Author/ASK)
