Student performance on proof comprehension tests in transition-to-proof courses
Page: 1092
As part of a project aimed at designing and validating three proof comprehension tests for theorems presented in a transition-to-proof course, we asked between 150 and 200 undergraduate students in several sections of one of these courses to take long versions (20 to 21 multiple-choice questions) of these tests. While analysis of these data is ongoing, we discuss preliminary findings about psychometric properties of these tests and student performance on these proof comprehension measures.
