Independent study workbooks for proofs in group theory

This paper describes a small-scale research project based on workbooks designed to support independent study of proofs in a first course on abstract algebra. We discuss the lecturers’ aims in designing the workbooks, and set these against a background of research on students’ learning of group theor...
