Description

The aim of this work is to detect university students' difficulties in kinematics with variable acceleration in relation to different representation systems (graphical and algebraic) in order to define the Learning Demands. Thus, design bases of a TLS (Teaching-Learning Sequence) are laid. An open-ended questionnaire has been designed and validated in relation to the epistemological keys and the learning objectives to be achieved with the future TLS. In answering, the questionnaire students have to identify, relate, compare and analyse different systems of representation through verbal/written reasoning when elaborating explanations. The analysis of the questionnaire was carried out using phenomenography methodology.
