Abstract

Deductive reasoning which includes generalizing, justifying, exemplifying, comparing, and classifying is the main feature of studying mathematics. This study aims to describe qualitatively the deductive reasoning of second-semester mathematics teacher candidates in studying number theory. Mathematics teacher candidates who have equal mathematical abilities and are of the same sex, namely women as research subjects.  The results showed that the two subjects met the indicators of deductive reasoning, namely making general statements, making special statements, and concluding.  This could be caused by the characteristics of prospective teacher students in receiving, storing, processing, and how to solve problems or what is called cognitive style

Abstract

Mathematical proof demands accuracy and precision in formulating correct and logical arguments. Students need to develop their ability to produce accurate and precise proofs. This study aims to analyze the ability of prospective mathematics teachers in constructing geometry and algebraic proofs. The research subjects were 8 prospective mathematics teacher students, four male and four female. This descriptive qualitative research begins with giving tests to research subjects, and then we conduct interviews. The results showed that male students were better at compiling geometry than algebraic proofs. At the same time, female students are better at compiling algebraic proofs than in geometry. This result is due to the spatial ability of men better than women. When compiling geometry proofs, apply procedural, syntactic, and semantic proofs. When compiling algebraic proofs, only apply procedural proofs. Female students, when compiling geometry proofs, only apply procedural proofs. When compiling algebraic proofs, they apply procedural proofs and syntactic proofs.
