Understanding One Calculus Instuctor's Class Practices Using a Possible Students' Cognitive Model
Richard Velasco; Dae S. Hong
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 (45th, Reno, NV, Oct 1-4, 2023)
In this study, we examined one experienced mathematician's class practices, with particular attention to cognitive model described in genetic decomposition. Our findings indicate that students only had limited opportunities to be familiar with the first three steps in genetic decomposition, which may potentially lead students to answer limit tasks correctly, but not necessarily having a deep conceptual understanding behind those tasks. With limited opportunities, it will be challenging for students to overcome well-known learning challenges in limit. [For the complete proceedings, see ED658295.]
