As proof construction typically presents many difficulties to university students, there is an increasing interest in student-centred forms of in-process support. This is accompanied by a need for research on how studentseffectively or non-effectivelyproceed in proof construction. This study therefore examines the proof-construction behaviour of first-year university students in 24 cases. Following the principles of empirical type construction, the author identified five proving strategies, each of which is characterised by a specific combination of sub-processes. Comparing these strategies to each other provides new insights into both different approaches to proving and typical obstacles. However, a comparison between successful and non-successful students did not reveal a clear relationship between the strategy used and performance. Our results suggest that the crucial aspects of proof construction are related to implementation at the microscopic rather than macroscopic level.
