Understanding Proof Practices of Pre-Service Mathematics Teachers in Geometry
Manero, V.; Arnal-Bailera, A.
Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, v13 n3 p99-130 Fall 2021
In this work, we show the results of a research with pre-service mathematics secondary teachers about their Van Hiele level regarding the proof in Geometry. We observe three different profiles whose characteristics are described. These descriptions allow us to foresee certain differences when carrying out proof teaching in secondary school. The presence of a profile with a lower level than that assumed for some high school students stands out. The other two profiles show differences regarding the presence of some advanced proof strategies.
