Critical features and representations of vectors in student-generated mindmaps
Page: 629
The purpose of this study is to investigate multivariable calculus students’ communication of vectors by examining how their responses on a mindmap assignment change over time. A mindmap is a visual network of connected and related concepts often with one image or topic centrally located. Through this open-ended instrument, we conduct a qualitative analysis to explore the connections students make between different aspects and multiple representations of vectors.
