ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley
This qualitative case study pursued to describe the different strategies Mexican American adult students in a local community college used to graph function transformations. Participants in the study were purposefully selected using a criterion sampling to ensure participants were atypical, above average students between the ages 18-22, and had a final course average of 89.5-100 in College Algebra. Three research questions were examined: 1) In what ways do Mexican American adult college students graph a function transformation? 2) Which strategies do students implement when graphing a function transformation? Qualitative research methods using think aloud semi-structured interviews were used in this study. The resulting data was coded and analyzed through an iterative process. The final codes were used to determine recurring themes. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
