Supporting students’ construction of dynamic imagery: An analysis of the usage of animations in a calculus course
Page: 1072
Calculus is about change and thus dictates a need for instruction involving dynamic imagery. DIRACC (Developing and Investigating a Rigorous Approach to Conceptual Calculus) utilizes animations to support students’ dynamic imagery. This paper investigates how students use and understand animations in the DIRACC textbook in connection with associated calculus topics.
