Direct linkGero, Aharon; Shekh-Abed, Aziz; Hazzan, Orit – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2021
Systems thinking and abstract thinking are important skills for engineers in general and hardware and software engineers in particular. Systems thinking emphasises the interdependence of system components and their synergy. Abstract thinking permits one to focus on the significant details of the current perspective, while temporarily neglecting…

Peer reviewedHazzan, Orit – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1999
Presents a theoretical framework based on interviews with undergraduate students and written questionnaires to study how undergraduate students cope with abstract algebra concepts. Indicates that students' responses can be interpreted as a result of reducing the level of abstraction. Examines the theme of reducing abstraction based on three…

Hazzan, Orit; Zazkis, Rina – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2005
There is a growing interest in the mathematics education community in the notion of abstraction and its significance in the learning of mathematics. "Reducing abstraction" is a theoretical framework that examines learners' behavior in terms of coping with abstraction level. It refers to situations in which learners are unable to manipulate…

Hazzan, Orit; Hadar, Irit – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2005
This article presents research on students' understanding of basic concepts in Graph Theory. Students' understanding is analyzed through the lens of the theoretical framework of reducing abstraction (Hazzan, 1999). As it turns out, in spite of the relative simplicity of the concepts that are introduced in the introductory part of a traditional…
