Modeling the Spread of Ideas in an Inquiry-Oriented Classroom
Page: 1280
In this study, we model the spread of student understanding of linear combinations in an Inquiry-Oriented Linear Algebra (IOLA) class based on video analysis. Methods adapted from modeling biological systems were used to estimate the rate of spread of Process-level understanding of linear combinations, measured according to Action-Process-Object-Schema (APOS) theory. The amount of time required for all students to achieve Process-level understanding was also estimated.
