An Experimental Study at the Transition from School to University
Chapter
In this chapter, the theoretical basis for the conceptualization of understanding generality and proof is built. Thereby, characteristics of mathematical statements and generality are highlighted, particularly...
Chapter
In this chapter, information on the sample characteristics and findings from preliminary analysis are given before the results are presented comprehensively, guided by the research questions. Then, observation...
