Visual representation of proofs in graph theory
Original language description
Mathematical proof is a basic concept characterizing mathematics and its application is inevitable in the practice of mathematicians and computer scientists. However, in the area of informatics we meet very often students who are not keen on the proof and thus they have problem to pass exams. Teachers are constantly designing tools and methods to explain complicated matters to their students in an attractive way. Many researchers claim that one of the suitable means of approaching difficult matters is the implementation of multimedia into teaching and learning. The aim of the paper is to introduce a research dealing with the influence of multimedia applications employed to enhance comprehensibility and attractiveness of mathematical proofs. Three research questions are discussed: Can visualization help to improve the instruction of proofs of theorems from the area of graph theory? What is the student's attitude towards proving? What is the attitude towards the use of visualizations in instruction of the proofs of theorems from the area of graph theory? According to gained results students see visualization as very beneficial and confirm that visualization of the instruction helps them to understand the subject matter.
