Final report on documentation of Students’ understanding

Abstract

The aim of the present study is to document undergraduate students’ understanding of aspects and properties of the notion of periodicity when confronted with various tasks mostly taken from their secondary school textbooks. In order to accomplish the above goals we designed and contacted three separate research activities (case studies). This was considered necessary in order to study different aspects of periodicity within a broad range of participants, as well as to integrate this kind of research activities in researcher’s teaching experiences as in the case of Act 1.
