Abstract: | One means of effecting innovation in calculus teaching and learning involves curricular change, but implementing a reform calculus curriculum does not mean necessarily that students go beyond rote learning and symbolic manipulation. In this paper, we document a process of self-reflection, during which the teacher-as-researcher engaged in analysis of students' written responses to prompts that were intended to inform the teacher about students' understanding of fundamental concepts. |
