Análisis según el modelo cognitivo APOS* del aprendizaje construido del concepto de la derivada

This work was motivated by the poor performance of first year undergraduates in college. Therefore, our interest was to investigate how students learn mathematics, how they construct knowledge, and which is the level of their constructed learning of a mathematical content that is especially difficult for them, i.e. the concept of derivative and its applications. This work is part of a broader research that considered a multiple case study. Here we present the results obtained from two of them. To investigate constructed learning we used Dubinsky's APOS cognitive model. We created an interactiv...
