摘要

Using the framework of Case's theory of cognitive growth, an age-related developmental sequence for students' understanding of mathematical functions is proposed. An experimental curriculum designed to foster that development is also presented. Studies at Grades 6, 8, and 10 investigated (1) whether the experimental instruction better fosters students' learning of functions than textbook approaches and (2) whether experimental students' understandings develop according to the predicted sequence.; Results indicate that the experimental groups' understanding of functions continually improved across Grades 6, 8, and 10. Moreover, students in each successive grade had a mean respective gain score approximately equidistant from that of the grade below. Analyses of the experimental students' correct and partially correct strategies showed few qualitative differences in the ways these students approached problems. However, students at different levels of development exhibited difficulties with the mathematical intricacies of operating with rational numbers, integers, and with algebraic notation. Thus, there appeared to be some grade-related limits to students' learning that resulted from a combination of their experiences with these mathematical intricacies and with their developmental level.; Results also showed that the Grade 8 and 10 experimental groups performed significantly better on the functions test than did control groups at these same grades. Furthermore, the Grade 6 experimental group outperformed the Grade 8 control group, and performed equally to the Grade 10 control students. Analyses of students' solution strategies on each test item indicated that students in the experimental groups demonstrated a better understanding of how the graphic, tabular, and algebraic representations of a function are connected.; Results show that a model of development and instructional approach that share an emphasis on developing children's understandings of how and why different representations of a function are connected, foster a deeper conceptual understanding of functions than do traditional approaches to the topic. The experimental curriculum's use of a familiar context, technology, and theory-driven activities helped participants learn concepts important for functions. Furthermore, only the experimental group demonstrated that they had integrated these functional concepts into a rich conceptual network for their current and future learning of functions.
