Student Understanding of Directional Derivatives of Functions of Two Variables / Rafael Martn̕ez-Planell, Maria Trigueros Gaisman and Daniel McGee.

Action-Process-Object-Schema (APOS) Theory is applied to study student understanding of directional derivatives of functions of two variables. A conjecture of the main mental constructions that students may do in order to come to understand directional derivatives is proposed and is tested by conduc...
