Abstract

Understanding graphs representing dynamic events is a challenge for many students at all levels. And technological tools can provide support in overcoming some of these difficulties. In our research we developed a digital tool that enables students to create, modify and improve graphs from dynamic events using interactive animations and intrinsic feedback. In order to get insight about why the tool helped (or not), the students we conducted a qualitative study in which we interviewed nine students who used the tool. The results offer insight in students’ learning and thinking about dynamic graphs and how digital feedback can afford that. These results are useful for researchers, developers and teachers.
