Connecting Proof Comprehension With the Student Perspective: The Case of Christy
Page: 1031
The current state of proof comprehension research has focused on the instructor or researcher perspective. Either through assessing student proof comprehension (e.g., Mejia-Ramos, 2017) or developing interventions to improve student proof comprehension (e.g., Hodds et al., 2014). In this report, we discuss findings from one student from an exploratory study. We consider the influence of prior experiences on what it means to them to understand a proof and the reasoning behind the proof comprehension strategies used to understand a given proof.
