Abstract

The purpose of this research is to identify and analyse the difficulties of proving prospective teachers in working on algebraic structure proofs. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive proof method. The subjects used were prospective teachers who had taken the Group material and were at one of the universities in the city of Semarang, Indonesia. The research results show that there are several explanations for the difficulties in the mathematical proof carried out. The first difficulty in mathematical proof is based on Toulmin’s argumentative point of view, the second difficulty is based on common mistakes that are often made in mathematical proof, the third error is based on the point of view of deductive proof. Each point of view has a different explanation of the difficulties experienced by prospective teachers in mathematical proof. The conclusion in this research is that quantifiers in mathematics have an important role in mathematical proof and further studies can examine effective proof methods.
