abstract = {We present the results of an exploratory and descriptive
study performed with Spanish students in Non-
Compulsory Secondary Education focusing on how they
explain the meaning of both one-sided limits within
a temporal phenomenon (drug metabolism) given by
a graphical non-authentic model. We organised the
given explanations according to the following options:
Only calculation; interpretation in a neighbourhood
(locally); meaning of the value (pointwise); direction of
approaching in time with regard to right-sided limit. We
also highlight a particular attention to other elements
of the model apart from limiting notions and some difficulty
to give sense to right-sided limit, possibly because
the direction of approximation is contrary to the natural
progression of time.},
