This study investigated the effect of quantitative reasoning on prospective mathematics teachers' comprehension of a proof on the decimal representation of real numbers. A proof comprehension test prepared according to the dimensions suggested by Mejia-Ramos, Fuller, Weber, Rhoads and Samkoff (2012) was used as both the pre-test prior to and the post-test upon completion of an instruction given to 19 prospective mathematics teachers. Also, one hour long post-clinical interviews were conducted with six of them. Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test results showed a significant difference between the pre and the post proof comprehension test on the performances of prospective teachers. Together, the results from the interviews suggest that once prospective teachers engage in quantitative reasoning during instruction their proof comprehension might develop. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
