Mathematics course should mainly aim at a conceptual learning. Improving students' reasoning skills is extremely important. However, mathematics may sometimes become a routine operation. Students determine the learning method in accordance with the test used by the teacher for course assessment and evaluation, in particular. If this test does not assess conceptual knowledge, then the students will be inclined to learning by rote. For a student who accurately responds to tests that cannot reveal concept knowledge, it is rather difficult to identify what the student actually knows and what kind of concept image s/he has. Using comprehension tests can prevent rote learning and help identify the incorrect concept images of students. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
