Undergraduate Mathematics Education Students' Understanding of Proof by Contradiction and Proof by Contraposition
… yet challenging for students, particularly undergraduate mathematics students, and are often perceived as less convincing and explanatory than direct proof (DP). While several factors have been identified as contributing to students’ difficulties and perceptions, further research in this …

STUDENTS' DEVELOPMENT IN PROOF: A LONGITUDINAL STUDY
<p>Despite importance of teaching proof in any undergraduate mathematics program, many students have difficulties with proof (Dreyfus, 1999; Harel & Sowder, 2003; Selden & Selden, 2003; Weber, 2004). In this qualitative case study, nine undergraduate students were each interviewed once every two …

On the role of student understanding of function and rate of change in learning differential equations
… Lastly, this research makes a contribution to mathematics education by illuminating the knowledge concerning function and rate of change students utilize and how this knowledge comes together to support students in drawing connections between differential equations and their solutions, …

Relating Understanding of Inverse and Identity to Engagement in Proof in Abstract Algebra
In this research, I set out to elucidate the relationships that might exist between students' conceptual understanding upon which they draw in their proof activity. I explore these relationships using data from individual interviews with three students from a junior-level Modern Algebra course. …
