Process, object and everything in between : A study of the perception of the derivative concept among high school students (English)
Abstract [sv]

Detta är en studie av hur gymnasieelever uppfattar begreppet derivata. Studien inriktar sig på att undersöka vilken roll derivatans definition och derivatans grafiska representation har i elevernas förståelse och hur deras begreppsförståelse ser ut inom dessa två representationer. Data samlades in via två frågeformulär som besvarades av 17 elever. Dessa analyserades utifrån Tall och Vinners (1981) definition av begreppsbild samt med en modell av elevers förståelse av derivata som är framtagen av Zandieh (2000).

Resultat och analys pekar på att den grafiska representationen har en framträdande roll i elevernas begreppsbild och de uppvisar även en större förståelse för denna representation. Derivatans definition antar främst rollen som en metod för att beräkna derivatan. Även om resultatet medför denna typ av generella slutsatser så visar analys av enskilda elevsvar även på stora individuella skillnader, både kring representationernas betydelse men också i vilken grad eleverna har tagit till sig begreppet.

Abstract [en]

This is a study of how high school students perceive the derivative concept. The role of the formal definition and the graphical representation in the student’s understanding will be in focus, and, also the conceptual understanding of these two representations. Data was collected from 17 students who answered two questionnaires. The analysis was based on the definition of concept image from Tall and Vinner (1981) and a framework of students’ understanding of derivative from Zandieh (2000).

Result and analysis indicate that the graphical representation has a prominent role in the student’s concept image and there is also a higher understanding among this representation. The formal definition works more as a method for computing the derivative. Although it is possible to make this kind of general conclusions, analysis from individual student responses shows large individual differences, both among the importance of the representations but also to what extent the students capture the concept.
