Relieving of Misconceptions of Derivative Concept with Derive

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine students' learning levels in derivative subjects and their misconceptions. In addition, this study aims to compared to the effects of the computer based instruction and traditional instruction in resolving these misconceptions. For this purpose, 12th grade 70 students were chosen from high schools in Ağrı city with simple random sampling method. With the pre-test results, the misconceptions were determined and these misconceptions were tried to be relieving in two groups of students with computer based instruction and traditional instruction, separately. The result of the study showed that both the computer based instruction by using Derive software and traditional instruction methods were effective in resolving misconceptions that students constructed. However, it was found that the computer based instruction was more effective than traditional in relieving them.

Promoting learning with understanding: Introducing languaging exercises in calculus course for engineering students at the university level

“…different modes is essential in the meaning-making process (Schleppegrell, 2010). A concept such as the derivative, which can be defined from its analytical form as a limit, geometrically as the slope of the tangent line to a curve, or in physics as the rate of change at which a particle moves (Kaplan et al, 2015), must be studied using different representations.…”

“…Derivatives can be represented in different ways according to the interpretation given to them. For example, it can be understood geometrically with pictorial representation as the slope of the line tangent to a curve at a given point, an interpretation that will be strictly linked to the algebraic-symbolic representation of the equation of a line (Kaplan et al, 2015). A complete understanding of derivatives concept requires understanding each of its interpretations and representations, including the connections between them.…”

Profil Miskonsepsi Siswa SMA Kelas XI pada Materi Turunan Fungsi Aljabar

“…Pada penelitian ini, peneliti mengacu pada penelitian yang relevan dengan miskonsepsi pada turunan fungsi aljabar yaitu Kaplan A., Azturk, M.,& Ocal M. F (Kaplan et al, 2015). Pembeda penelitian ini dengan penelitian Kaplan adalah cara pemilihan subjek penelitian Kaplan dilakukan dengan 2 kelas guru mapel dalam 2 sekolah yang berbeda, sedangkan pada penelitian ini dilakukan pada 80 siswa dengan 3 kelas berbeda satu guru mata pelajaran dan sekolah yang sama.…”

Matematik ve Fen Bilgisi Öğretmen Adaylarının Türev Konusundaki Kavram Yapıları

“…Analizin en önemli konularından olan türev, farklı alanlardaki diğer kavramları anlayabilmek için üniversite matematiğinde ihtiyaç duyulan önemli bir kavramdır (Tall, 1992;1993). Bir miktarın başka bir miktara göre değişme oranını temsil eden türev (Weber, Tallman, Byerley & Thompson, 2012), başta matematik olmak üzere, mühendislik ve fen alanlarındaki birçok uygulamada bireylerin karşısına çıkar (Jones & Watson, 2017;Kaplan, Öztürk & Öcal, 2015). Türev kavramının kullanım alanına göre anlık değişim oranı, ortalama değişim oranlarının limiti, bir fonksiyonun bir noktasındaki teğet doğrusunun eğimi veya hız gibi farklı tanımları bulunmaktadır (Zandieh, 2000).…”
