Mathematical content knowledge, methodological knowledge, and problem-solving strategies are important prerequisites for constructing mathematical proofs. To optimally support students in proving, teachers need to assess their students’ proof skills. Teachers’ person characteristics, such as professional knowledge and motivation, are expected to influence their assessment quality, also regarding mathematical proof skills, which we empirically investigated with 150 future teachers. Results indicate that teachers’ professional knowledge supports the assessment of methodological knowledge. However, the assessment of problem-solving strategies was mostly independent of teachers’ characteristics and motivational characteristics only tentatively affected the assessment of mathematical content knowledge.
