e-Proofs: design of a resource to support proof comprehension in mathematics
journal contribution
posted on 2011-09-22, 13:26 authored by Lara AlcockLara Alcock, Nicola WilkinsonThis
paper
presents
a
theoretical
basis
for
the
design
of
e-‐Proofs,
electronic
resources
to
support
proof
comprehension
in
undergraduate
mathematics.
To
begin
I
frame
the
problems
of
teaching
for
proof
comprehension,
giving
research
background
and
an
argument
about
what
teacher-‐centred
lecturing
does
not,
and
cannot,
do
to
address
these.
I
then
describe
e-‐Proofs,
discuss
the
way
in
which
they
have
been
used
in
an
Analysis
course
and
review
their
limitations
and
affordances
as
part
of
an
overall
educational
experience.
Finally,
I
briefly
describe
the
development
of
a
web-‐based
tool
for
constructing
e-‐Proofs,
ways
in
which
this
tool
will
be
used
to
different
pedagogical
ends,
and
associated
research
activity.
