University Teachers’ Meanings for Average Rate of Change: Impacts on Student Feedback
Page: 1629
Previous research that has used Thompson’s mathematical “meanings” framework has focused on secondary teachers’ meanings for mathematics. We examine the meanings that graduate students and professors hold for average rate of change. Further, we attempt to connect meanings to the facets of student work that graduate students and professors notice. This work lets us start to extend the meanings framework and has implications for graduate student professional development.
