tlooto Summary

A 1983 model constructs a cognitive process using concept image and definition to analyze learning function concepts in grades 10-11.

Abstract

A simple model for cognitive processes will be constructed using the notions of concept image and concept definition. The model will be used to analyse some phenomena in the process of the learning of the function concept in grades 10 and 11. Educational conclusions, similar to those in [3] which were based on historical arguments, will be drawn.
