Abstract
This paper is part of a wider study, whose purpose is to analyze how university students behave when asked to generate examples in Real Analysis. To this aim, we collected and analyzed written protocols accompanied by individual interviews. In this paper, we focus on the interplay of concept image and concept definition, which is an element revealing interesting aspects of students’ way of reasoning.I documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
