On teaching students to overcome the psychological barrier of reductio ad absurdum First, the barriers to the teaching of reductio ad absurdum ‘Reductio ad absurdum’ is an important mathematical proof in the way a lot of mathematical problems that should use the reductio ad absurdum, but many students find it hard to learn contradiction here because in addition to the certification process with the other factors outside . there is some resistance from students to the psychological barriers. In fact, mental disorders even when using the direct method of proof, more or less interfered with the smooth progress of students’ reasoning for example, see two triangles resemble, think process on the always dominated by visual rather than conscious use of these two triangles congruent as a condition for reasoning. This comes from the psychological barriers can be significant although the teachers felt, but usually it is easy inference from other factors, barriers to mixed. Not the objective to remove psychological barriers as difficult to break through the teaching of reductio ad absurdum to consider. Second, to overcome the psychological barriers to teaching reductio ad absurdum The structure of children’s psychological development, including schemata - assimilation - adapt - balance four process occurs when a new knowledge, students will recognize the old structure with its interpretation and absorption of new knowledge into existing understanding of structure. When the original understanding of the structure can not explain, can not accommodate the new knowledge, then understanding the internal structure of the original system and the reorganization and expanded. to be sufficient to pack photo new knowledge, to reach a new equilibrium. students previous study only direct proof method, each step in the reasoning and logic on perception and not on the original understanding of knowledge systems and graphics contradictory, they prove in a specific topic, only the
