Description¶

A learning approach that motivates students to learn mathematical proving actively: students 'were motivated to think independently , start with a simple problem for improving a solution accompanied with its supporting reason and to communicate their ideas writtenly or orally'. Written communication occurs on a board or in article form; oral communication involves presenting and defending work in front of class with little lecturer guidance. The article implemented it in an advanced abstract algebra course to train self-regulated problem solving, composing relevant reasons, and convincing peers.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

Implementation to no more than 24 students, or grouping students of varied prior mathematics ability when there are more
Students compose proofs themselves rather than copying lecturer's proofs passively
Adequate time, namely one semester, for advanced courses

Constraints¶

In this study it was conducted during a half semester, which the authors say was too short for advanced proving tasks
Low prior-ability students needed revised materials with more explanation and exercises

Target Learners¶

undergraduate mathematics students in advanced abstract algebra

Learning Goals¶

mathematical understanding ability
mathematical proving ability
active learning habits and positive learning disposition
