  • The relationship of a problem-based calculus course and students' views of mathematical thinking

    Creator:
    Liu, Po-Hung
    Abstract:
    It has been held that heuristic training alone is not enough for developing one's mathematical thinking. One missing component is a mathematical point of view. Many educational researchers have proposed problem-based curricula to improve students' views of mathematical thinking. The present study reports findings regarding effects of a problem-based calculus...
