| Developing an understanding of function is an important component of students' successful participation in mathematics. Several frameworks that describe students' conceptions of mathematical ideas in terms of "processes" and "objects" have come to play a pivotal role in studying student cognition at the undergraduate level. Recently, mathematics educators have begun to focus on the role discourse and communication play in learning and doing mathematics. In this talk, I present an overview of a framework that integrates ideas from a process-object model with a discursive model to describe students' conceptions of functions and show how it can be used to analyze students' discourse. |
