Research on diagnostic competencies of teachers nowadays raises the question which
person or situational characteristics moderate judgement accuracy. Beside this correlational …

With the growing emphasis on the development of scientific inquiry skills, the display and
interpretation of data are becoming increasingly important. Graph interpretation competence …

The purpose of the present study was to portray students' misconceptions and errors while
solving conceptually and procedurally oriented tasks involving length, area, and volume …

This study investigates university students' understanding of graphs in three different
domains: mathematics, physics (kinematics), and contexts other than physics. Eight sets of …

Previous studies have identified physics students' difficulties with graph slope and area
under a graph in different contexts. In this study we compared physics and nonphysics …

This study investigates university students' graph interpretation strategies and difficulties in
mathematics, physics (kinematics), and contexts other than physics. Eight sets of parallel …

The overreliance on linear methods in students' reasoning and problem solving has been
documented and discussed by several scholars in the field. So far, however, there have …

To teach adaptively, teachers should be able to take the students' level of knowledge into
account. Therefore, a key component of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) is the ability …

We report on semi-structured clinical interviews to describe US pre-service secondary
mathematics teachers' graphing meanings. Our primary goal is to draw on Piagetian notions …

Interpreting and creating graphs plays a critical role in scientific practice. The K-12 Next
Generation Science Standards call for students to use graphs for scientific modeling …
