University students’ concept image and retention of the definite integral
This paper reports a part of a larger study researching the retention of key derivative and integration concepts months after the calculus course exam at a Croatian and Danish university. In this paper we focus on the students’ long-term retention and concept image of the definite integral. 18 students in non-mathematics science study programmes were interviewed in pairs and presented with four tasks on the definite integral in order to expose their concept definition and concept image. No student had a coherent concept definition which caused problems solving the tasks. However, some of these students appeared to have more coherent concept image, and solved some of the tasks, while others did not. We argue that the relation between concept definition and concept image varies from student to student.
