| Abstract: | This research examines students' use of graphics calculators and investigates the extent to which the students' use meets their teachers aim when using graphics calculators in the classroom. The teacher's use of her graphics calculator was analysed over a week using Key Record software. The teacher was questioned about her aims and expectations for the students when using a graphics calculator. As a result an interview schedule for students was constructed in order to determine whether the teacher's aims had been met. It was found that in general all of the teachers' aims were met to some extent by most of the students. (Contains 8 figures and 1 table.) |
