- Title
TEACHING MIDDLE LEVEL STUDENTS TO GENERALIZE: FROM IMPLICIT TO EXPLICIT.
- Authors

- Abstract
The article presents a study on measuring students' capacity to generalize. It involved twelve lessons of two middle level teachers which revealed that the teachers' limited understanding of problem structures prevented them from making the students comprehend what implicit generalization meant. The study also showed that the teachers concentrated on the results or the answers rather than how students came up with the results.
