Type: article
Abstract: One of the main focuses of higher education reform in Thailand call for the development of student autonomy. In order to respond to this, student-centered learning is considered as an approach into classroom because it increased the sense of autonomy in the learner. However, present situation of the teaching and learning in higher education institutions are perceived as having placed too much emphasis on memorization and contents. This is especially true in the course of mathematical proof in which the teaching style relies solely on lectures and the traditional teaching emphasizing that a mathematical statement is true if it can be proved leads students to distinguish proof exploratory activities. However, proof is not only understood in the traditional rigid and absolute ways, but it also embraces many other functions. The main purpose of the present paper is to describe about how to integrate T5 teaching method into the course of mathematical proof to make classroom activity more student-centered learning and to promote students to do all proof functions through investigation and collaboration.
