This paper examines the effectiveness of analogies in the teaching and learning of the function concept. Our findings indicate that instructional analogies cannot support students' understanding of the functions unless students are given epistemologically appropriate analogues and illustrated the structural relations between the analogues and the targeted concepts. Provision of analogies to emphasize procedures, algebraic or otherwise, may confine students to a limited way of thinking about the concept.

MATHEMATICAL TASKS TO PROMOTE STUDENT LEARNING
BAYAZIT, Ibrahim; Ubuz, Behiye; Aksoy, Yilmaz (2009-07-24)
This paper examines teachers' selection and resolution of function problems and relates this to their students' understanding of the concept. Focusing on the way in which tasks are presented and resolved, the paper indicates that the models teachers present to students to obtain solutions may lead to two contrasting outcomes. On one hand the teacher's emphasis may confine the students to a limited way of thinking about the core ideas and contribute towards misconceptions. In contrast, a model that emphasize...
Application of Project-Based Learning in a Theoretical Course: Process, Difficulties and Recommendations
CODUR, K. Burak; Karatas, Sercin; Doğru, Ali Hikmet (2012-01-01)
This paper presents a case study about the application of a project-based learning approach. In this case study, software development projects are performed by the students, using historical software development methods in order to demonstrate evolution of the subject. The presented case study differs from others reported in the literature in its utilization of historical methods for project execution. Getting feedback and reaction of students and assessing the success of the project-based learning implemen...
Behavior Categorization Using Correlation Based Adaptive Resonance Theory
YAVAŞ, mustafa; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur (2009-06-26)
This paper presents a new method of categorizing robot behavior, which is based on a variation of Correlation Based Adaptive Resonance Theory (CobART) learning. CobART is a type of ART 2 network and its main contribution is the usage of correlation analysis methods for category matching. This study uses derivation based correspondence and Euclidian distance as correlation analysis methods for behavior categorization. Tests show that the proposed method generates better results than ART 2 categorization even...
Positive impact of state similarity on reinforcement learning performance
Girgin, Sertan; Polat, Faruk; Alhaj, Reda (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2007-10-01)
In this paper, we propose a novel approach to identify states with similar subpolicies and show how they can be integrated into the reinforcement learning framework to improve learning performance. The method utilizes a specialized tree structure to identify common action sequences of states, which are derived from possible optimal policies, and defines a similarity function between two states based on the number of such sequences. Using this similarity function, updates on the action-value function of a st...
PRE-SERVICE TEACHER-GENERATED ANALOGIES FOR FUNCTION CONCEPTS
Ubuz, Behiye; Aydin, Utkun; BAYAZIT, Ibrahim (2009-02-01)
The purpose of the present study was to determine pre-service teacher-generated analogies in teaching function concepts and then to discuss them in terms of the content validity - whether analogies used are epistemologically appropriate to illustrate the essence and the properties of the functions as well as the structural relations between the analogues and the targeted concepts. The videotaped data of five pre-service teachers' were collected from their microteaching during "Practice Teaching in Secondary...
