The study details students' engagement in a segment of a university course designed to position pre-service teachers to develop a coherent understanding of functions as covariation of quantities. With regards to this instruction, this study was guided by two research questions that dealt with understanding (a) the pre-service teachers' mathematical development and then (b) how the pre-service teachers' emerging understanding of function as covariation impact how they envision and enact instruction, with particular emphasis on the pre-service teachers' ability to orchestrate conceptual conversations about significant mathematical ideas. |
