Inhibiting Factors in Generating Examples by Mathematics Teachers and Student Teachers: The Case of Binary Operation.

Zaslavsky, Orit; Peled, Irit

Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v27 n1 p67-78 Jan 1996

Inservice (n=36) and preservice (n=67) mathematics teachers were asked for a commutative, nonassociative binary operation. Responses were analyzed for correctness, productiveness, mathematical content, and underlying difficulties. Both groups exhibited a weak concept by failing to produce an example and using a limited content search space. (Author/MKR)
