Using didactical engineering to teach mathematical induction
Page: 1281
The study reported here applies the principles of didactical engineering to design the teaching of mathematical induction. Three iterations of the process of didactical engineering have been designed and implemented with undergraduate students enrolled in a Discrete Mathematics course taught by one of the authors. Students’ performance on induction tasks improved with each iteration.
