The study lasted nine weeks and the participants of the study consisted of 24 pre-service mathematics teachers. The study used the ‘Attitude Scale Towards Proof and Proving’ and an open-ended questionnaire that were administered before and after the intervention as data collection tools. Paired samples t-test analysis was used for the analysis of quantitative data and content and descriptive analyses were utilized for the analysis of qualitative data.
