Potential conflict factors in learning exact differential equations: Analysis of students’ work
Résumé
Mathematics courses constitute one of the important components in the university education of future engineers. Many engineering students find them challenging and may even view them as a serious obstacle to a successful engineering career. One of the difficulties is related to the efficient connection of new material to already acquired knowledge and skills. Using our praxeological analysis of two institutional approaches to the concept of exact differential equation in Calculus and Differential Equations indicating potential conflict factors, we analyse students’ work on the assignment designed for a pilot project.
