Supporting Innovation: The Impact of a Teacher's Conceptions of Functions on His Implementation of a Reform Curriculum.

Lloyd, Gwendolyn M.; Wilson, Melvin (Skip)

Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v29 n3 p248-74 May 1998

Investigates the content conceptions of an experienced high school mathematics teacher and links those conceptions to their role in the teacher's first implementation of reform-oriented curricular materials during a six-week unit on functions. Concludes that the teacher's well-articulated ideas about features of a variety of relationships in different representations supported meaningful discussions with students. Contains 40 references.
