Abstract:This paper describes how the Translating Algebraic Problems System (TAPS) deals with learners' misconceptions related to the reversed equation. Such learners' misconceptions are caused by inconsistency and contradiction of their own beliefs, which are also entrenched in their reasoning. Revision of conflicting beliefs which arise when TAPS executes its meta-level observation of the learner's overall performance is also discussed.
