- Abstract:
The difficulty that many calculus students face is their inability to apply methods and concepts used in practiced problems to new situations. This is not only a cause for concern in their calculus courses but also in subsequent science and engineering courses where they need to use the fundamental principles and methods of calculus. This project began as an attempt to create a course activity that would help students improve their ability to transfer their knowledge across application domains. In the end, Salem and Michael were unable to determine how effective the activity was in addressing the problem of transfer. However, they were able to formulate a simple but useful characterization of students' approaches to solving out-of-context problems.
