Abstract

This study aims to find out how the experiences and obstacle students learn about the Real Analysis lectures that they have experienced. The aspects measured are: (1) the ability to read and understand a proof, and (2) The ability to construct a proof. Subjects in this study consisted of 43 students of mathematics education FKIP Khairun University, and data collected through tests and interviews. Interviews were conducted on 6 (six) students based on the work to identify the obstacle experienced in reading, understanding and constructing a proof. The data were analyzed by the descriptive-qualitative approach. The results show that the ability to read, understand and construct a proof belong to the medium category.
