The aim of this research is to measure the extent of the correlation between the ability to recognize proof techniques and the ability to recognize definitions/theorems with the ability to prove in the Real Analysis course. This study tests the associative hypothesis of two independent variables (the ability to recognize proof techniques and definitions/theorems) with one dependent variable (the ability in mathematical prove). The research sample consists of a total of 60 students currently enrolled in the real analysis course. The study was lecture-based, involving tasks such as identifying proof techniques in provided proofs from textbooks, writing definitions/theorems in proofs, and conducting proof tests to measure proof abilities. Subsequently, the data was analyzed using a multiple correlation test between the two independent variables and one dependent variable with the assistance of SPSS version 25. The correlation coefficient obtained is 0.821, indicating a very strong relationship between the ability to recognize proof techniques and the skill of recognizing definitions/theorems together with the ability to prove.
