Building on some research on structure sense in school algebra, this contribution focuses on structure sense in university algebra, namely on students' understanding of algebraic operations and their properties. Two basic stages of this understanding are distinguished and described in detail. Some examples are given on student teachers' insufficient structure sense and interpreted in terms of various stages of structure sense.
... Note that these standards point to the need for students to identify structure-meaning a student must be aware that structure is something to look for in representations of mathematical objects-and the need for students to act accordingly. Multiple studies have shown a preponderance of weak structure sense among students (Hoch, 2003;Hoch & Dreyfus, 2006;Linchevski & Livneh, 1999;Novotná & Hoch, 2008;Novotná et al., 2006;Tall & Thomas, 1991). This highlights a need to support teachers in helping their students develop structure sense. ...
