A Special Case Study on the Concept of Equation with Two Gifted Students

Abstract

The algebraic thinking stages of two students determined to be highly gifted by the RAM (Counseling Research Center) were compared in the two different processes of pre-education and post education. For this purpose, research and application problems prepared in order to detect cognitive actions such as recognizing, building, with construction and consolidation were applied to the two selected students. In this study, the RBC+C abstraction model providing the opportunity to investigate the knowledge formation process through cognitive actions was utilized. (C) 2013 The Authors.
