Description
The focus of the study is on how pre-service physics teachers have made sense of rates of change at various points of curved graphs when they analyse experimental measurements in physics lab courses. Forty-eight pre-service physics teachers participated. Data sources were open-ended written tasks, semi-structured interviews and lab reports. When talking about rates of change, the participants proposed to draw a tangent at particular points of the curve but they could not calculate derivatives at corresponding points of curves. In addition, they could not interpret rates of change to give a physical meaning to them.
