Categorization of first-year university students’ interpretations of numerical linear distance-time graphs
We have investigated the various approaches taken by first-year university students (n≈550) when asked to determine the direction of motion, the constancy of speed, and a numerical value of the speed of an object at a point on a numerical linear distance-time graph. We investigated the prevalence of...
