© 2022, National Science and Technology Council, Taiwan.This study examined a cohort of middle school pre-service mathematics teachers’ understanding of the rate of change as they engaged in a model development sequence. By adopting a design-based research perspective, a model development sequence on the concept of rate of change has been designed and implemented as part of a mathematical modeling course for pre-service teachers. The data were collected from twenty senior year middle school pre-service mathematics teachers (PSTs) through questionnaires, modeling activities, reflection papers, and semi-structured interviews. The data analysis showed that PSTs have difficulties conceptualizing the rate of change and conceiving it as a multiplicative comparison of changes in two covarying quantities. As they frequently employed its percentage interpretation, PSTs experienced additional difficulty conceiving the conventional meaning of rate of change in a population growth context. PSTs generally used motion context as a reference while explaining the rate of change in different non-motion contexts. In general, PSTs developed their conception of the additive rate of change throughout the model development sequence. However, for some PSTs, difficulty in ratio-based reasoning on the rate of change in different non-motion contexts prevailed. We provided some arguments concerning the teaching and learning of rate of change.

Pre-service elementary mathematics teachers’ ways of thinking about rate of change in the context of a modeling activity
Kertil, Mahmut; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Çetinkaya, Bülent (2017-01-01)
As a part of a larger study aiming at developing pre-service teachers’ pedagogical knowledge about mathematical modeling, this study investigates pre-service elementary mathematics teachers’ ways of thinking regarding rate of change in the context of a modeling task on population growth. The participants of the study were 9 prospective middle school mathematics teachers in their senior year attending a public university. The study was conducted as a part of an undergraduate course on mathematical modeling f...
PRE-SERVICE MATHEMATICS TEACHERS’ TECHNOLOGYENHANCED COLLECTIVE ARGUMENTATION
Kol, Murat; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2022-9-02)
This study aims to investigate the nature of pre-service mathematics teachers’ collective mathematical argumentation processes in a technology-enriched learning environment. This design-based study designed a course to improve pre-service mathematics teachers’ technology competencies. In this context, pre-service teachers’ mathematical argumentation processes were evaluated with data obtained during a semester. The data presented in this study were obtained from 10 pre-service teachers who enrolled in the ...
Öğrenme rotaları temelli öğretimde öğretmen adaylarının matematiksel alan bilgilerini yeniden yapılandırmaları
Yılmaz, Zuhal; Haser, Çiğdem (2018-01-01)
Çalışmanın amacı sınıf öğretmeni adaylarının eşpaylaşım konusu ile ilgili matematiksel alan bilgilerini (MAB) öğrenme rotaları temelli bir öğretim ortamında nasıl yeniden yapılandırdıklarını incelemektir. Bu bağlamda dokuz öğretmen adayı ile bir öğretim deneyi eşpaylaşım öğrenme rotası kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmanın bulguları, adayların mevcut kavram yanılgı ve hatalarını düzelttiklerini ve bu yanılgı ve hataların altında yatan sebepleri açığa çıkardıklarını ortaya koymaktadır. Aynı zamanda, ...
Developing prospective teachers’ covariational reasoning through a model development sequence
Kertil, Mahmut; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Çetinkaya, Bülent (Informa UK Limited, 2019-2-8)
Forming part of a wider research study, the current study investigated prospective middle school mathematics teachers' ways of covariational reasoning on tasks involving simultaneously changing quantities. As the introductory theme of a larger unit on derivative, a model development sequence on covariational reasoning was designed and experimented with 20 participants in a mathematical modeling course offered to prospective teachers. The participants' developing abilities of covariational reasoning were doc...
Pre-service mathematics teachers' belief systems
Haser, Çiğdem; Dogan, Oguzhan (2012-01-01)
The influence of mathematics teacher education programme courses on pre-service teachers' mathematics teaching belief systems before their field experience was initially investigated through a Likert-type scale. The impact of a third year general teaching methodologies course was then investigated through the responses pre-service teachers provided in written tasks assigned at the beginning and the end of the year, based on Green's identification of belief systems (Green, T.F. 1971. The activities of teachi...
