Leveraging the Perceptual Ambiguity of Proof Scripts to Witness Students’ Identities
Page: 1407
Recognizing identity not only as an important educational outcome but also being inter-related to students’ knowledge and practice, this paper explores an affordance of proof scripts; the witnessing of students’ identities. Drawing on proof scripts from teaching experiments and the construct of perceptual ambiguity, this paper argues that proof scripts afford access not only to students’ understandings, problematics, and ways of reasoning but also students’ identities.
