Exploring The Nature Of The Co-Emergence Of Students' Representational Fluency And Functional Thinking, Nigar Altindis
Exploring The Nature Of The Co-Emergence Of Students' Representational Fluency And Functional Thinking, Nigar Altindis
Dissertations - ALL
Abstract In this dissertation, I explore ways to support secondary school students' meaningful understanding of quadratic functions. Specifically, I investigate how students co-developed representational fluency (RF) and functional thinking (FT), when they gained meaningful understanding of quadratic functions. I also characterize students' co-emergence of RF and FT on each representation (e.g., a graph, a symbolic equation, and a table) and across multiple representations. To accomplish these goals, I employed a design research methodology: a teaching experiment with eight Turkish-American secondary school students in an after-school context at a Turkish Community Center. I constructed the design principles and design elements for …
