This talk will cover a series of research studies on mathematical reading and how we might improve it in undergraduates. The first study used eye-tracking to investigate and compare reading behaviours in undergraduates and mathematicians - I will present evidence that mathematical reading differs from ordinary reading in specific ways, and that students engage in key comprehension behaviours less than mathematicians. The second study investigated the effects of self-explanation training on students’ reading behaviours. Using a combination of eye-tracking and experimental studies, we established that this training encouraged students to read in a manner more like that of professional mathematicians, and that this had positive effects on their mathematical proof comprehension.
