Varieties of sameness: Instructors’ descriptions for themselves and students
Page: 494
Group isomorphism and homomorphism are topics central to abstract algebra, yet research on instructors’ views of these concepts is limited. This study examines two instructors’ views of group isomorphism and homomorphism and how they drew on notions of sameness to describe them. Differences between instructors’ descriptions in interviews and instruction are explored.
