摘要：

Do teachers find that the use of dynamically linked multiple representations enhances their students' relational understanding of the mathematics involved in their lessons and what evidence do they provide to support their findings? Throughout session 2008-2009, this empirical research project involved six Scottish secondary schools, two mathematics teachers from each school and students from different ages and stages. Teachers used TI-Nspire PC software and students the TI-Nspire handheld technology. This technology is specifically designed to allow dynamically linked multiple representations of mathematical concepts such that pupils can observe links between cause and effect in different representations such as dynamic geometry, graphs, lists and spreadsheets. The teachers were convinced that the use of multiple representations of mathematical concepts enhanced their students' relational understanding of these concepts, provided evidence to support their argument and described changes in their classroom pedagogy. © FIZ Karlsruhe 2010.
