Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2017 The theme for this master study is teacher students’ mathematical meanings about the function concept. Meanings are representations of cognitive schemes, which can be observed through the behavior of the person, for example through answers on tasks. This study is part of a bigger research project connected to Patrick W. Thompsons’ research about secondary mathematics teacher’s meanings. The instrument Mathematical Meanings for Teaching secondary mathematics (MMTsm), developed by American researchers, is used in this study. In my study, students’ meanings about the concept of functions have been studied by analyzing teacher…
