Comparing Student Understanding of Graphs in Physics and Mathematics
In this chapter we address the question of similarities and differences in students’ strategies and difficulties with graphs in the context of mathematics and physics and the question of possible transfer of knowledge between these domains. We divide mathematics into context - free mathematics and mathematics with context, but we limit contexts in this domain only to those which do not require special conceptual knowledge. The domain of physics is represented by kinematics, where graphs play an important role, but which also requires knowledge of basic kinematics concepts and relations. We review, compare and synthesize the results from four of our studies which included high - school and first - year university students from Croatia and Austria. We raise the question of how to promote transfer of knowledge between physics and mathematics and how to build stronger and more unified student knowledge of graphs. We also point to important student difficulties which may act as obstacles in that process.
