Improving Mathematical Reasoning with Process Supervision
Improving mathematical reasoning with process supervision involves providing explicit guidance and support to individuals as they engage in mathematical problem-solving. Process supervision focuses on helping learners develop a deep understanding of mathematical concepts, strategies, and problem-solving techniques by making the underlying cognitive processes more transparent and explicit. Here are some strategies that can be employed to enhance mathematical reasoning with process supervision: Scaffolded Instruction: Provide step-by-step guidance and support, gradually transferring responsibility to the learner. Break down complex problems into smaller, manageable steps, and provide prompts or cues that guide learners through each stage of the problem-solving process. Think-Aloud Protocols: Encourage learners to verbalize their thoughts and problem-solving strategies while working on mathematical tasks. This helps make their thinking processes explicit and allows instructors to identify
