| Popis: | International audience; Although the epistemic role of academic language for developing conceptual understanding has been shown for some mathematical concepts, more topic-specific research is required for specifying the academic language demands for students' meaning making processes in different mathematical topics. The design research study presented in this paper contributes to this research agenda by investigating tenth graders' learning pathways towards conceptual understanding of conditional probabilities in area models. The qualitative analysis of a design experiment shows that students' processes of decoding and discussing meanings of different probability statements require a systematic scaffold for explicating the underlying part-whole relationships: the area model is helpful, but not sufficient. |
