While studies have explored how expert mathematicians construct proofs to inform teaching practices, expert strategies might not be equally beneficial to novice provers with limited abilities in proving. Novice provers often face difficulties and impasses when engaged in problem-solving or proving tasks. Looking through the lenses of impasses, this study provides a more fine-grained account by characterizing novice provers’ navigating actions when they encounter impasses to better support them in their proving processes. This research draws on task-based interviews conducted with undergraduates enrolled in a transition-to-proof course. A framework was developed to identify productive actions students took when navigating stuck points in the proving process. The result of this study shows that productive actions around stuck points can develop important proof skills in students, even if the student did not ultimately complete the proof successfully. Therefore, instructors are encouraged to recognize and support these productive actions, prioritizing them over mere proof completion when guiding students in their proving processes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47481,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mathematical Behavior","volume":"77 ","pages":"Article 101211"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142748741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But neither education researchers nor philosophers interested in epistemic dimensions of mathematical practice have yet given the topic the sustained attention it deserves. The trouble is partly that intuition in the relevant sense lacks a usefully clear characterization, so we begin by offering one: mature intuition, we say, is the capacity for fast, fluent, reliable and insightful inference with respect to some subject matter. We illustrate the role of mature intuition in mathematical practice with an assortment of examples, including data from a sequence of clinical interviews in which a student improves upon initially misleading covariational intuitions. Finally, we show how the study of intuition can yield insights for philosophers and education theorists. First, it contributes to a longstanding debate in epistemology by undermining <em>epistemicism</em>, the view that an agent’s degree of objectual understanding is determined exclusively by their knowledge, beliefs and credences. We argue on the contrary that intuition can contribute directly and independently to understanding. Second, we identify potential pedagogical avenues towards the development of mature intuition, highlighting strategies including <em>adding imagery</em>, <em>developing associations</em>, <em>establishing confidence</em> and <em>generalizing concepts</em>.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47481,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mathematical Behavior","volume":"76 ","pages":"Article 101203"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142704875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
