Exploring Secondary Students' Proving Competencies through Clinical Interviews with Smartpens
Cirillo, Michelle; Hummer, Jenifer
North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (42nd, Mazatlán, Mexico and Online, May 27-Jun 6, 2021)
Twenty students who earned A or B course-grades in the proof unit(s) of a secondary course that addressed proof in geometry were asked to work on two proof tasks while sharing their thinking aloud and using smartpens. Students were classified into two categories: those who were successful with both proofs and those who were unsuccessful with both proofs. Large differences were observed in how often students in the two groups exhibited certain competencies. The largest gaps occurred in the ways that students: attended to the proof assumptions; used warrants in their proofs; and demonstrated logical reasoning.
