Students’ Generalizing Activity While Using Determinant Applets
Page: 634
In this article, we share results from a series of interviews with a pair of undergraduates using an applet designed to support students’ understanding of determinants. We identify four generalization clusters that the participants developed, and we share our analysis of the activity types that led to these generalizations. We used Ellis et al.’s (2022) Relating, Forming, and Extending framework to characterize the participants’ generalizing activity. We share results from this work and discuss the implications for applet design, instruction, and future research.
