Proof comprehension at the university level: what it is, how it can be assessed, and why to assess it?
Juan Pablo Mejia-Ramos - Rutgers University
Location: Zoom
Date & time: Wednesday, 16 November 2022 at 3:30PM - 4:30PM
Colloquium, Wednesday, November 16, 3:30 - 4:30 pm
Abstract: In this talk I will address the comprehension of proofs that we read in mathematics. Specifically, I will describe work we have conducted over the last 10 years to address what it means to understand a mathematical proof, how we can create questions to assess an undergraduate student’s comprehension of a proof they have read, and how we can create valid and reliable tests to measure mathematics undergraduate students’ proof comprehension more widely. I will describe high-level aspects of this work to leave time to discuss how we can use these assessments in our undergraduate mathematics courses and programs.
