Applying variation theory to study modeling competencies
Page: 1189
This paper presents preliminary results of using variation theory to design modeling tasks in order to explore ways of strengthening undergraduate engineering students’ modeling skills. The responses of two undergraduate engineering students enrolled in differential equations to a set of three versions of the same task are reported.
