The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of using interactive whiteboard and computer technology on graduate language and mathematics student’ performance in quadratic equation functions graphics. Two groups of language and mathematics graduate students were selected for the study; one for experimental group and the other for control group. The experimental group consists of 32 students, and control group consists of 33 students. The control group is thought by traditional learning whereas the experimental group is thought the same topic by interactive whiteboard and computer technology. Graphic Achievement Test (GAT), Attitudes toward Technology Scale (ATTS) and Attitude toward Mathematics Scale (ATMS) and interviews were used as a data collection instruments. GAT applied as a pre-test, post-test and delayed post-test on both of the groups. However the attitudes scales applied only experimental group before and after the treatment.

The aim of this study was to examine an in-service middle school mathematics teacher’s mathematical practices in teaching slope, linear equations and graphs in a technology enhanced classroom environment while enacting an instructional sequence that was designed based on the national curriculum. The technology utilized in the study was GeoGebra materials within computers that were developed by the teacher and the researcher to be used for the instructional sequence. The data was collected during the spring ...
Exploring secondary mathematics teachers’ conceptions of mathematical literacy
Genç, Murat; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2017)
The purpose of this research study was to investigate secondary mathematics teachers’ conceptions of mathematical literacy. In doing so, the following three crucial interrelated issues were addressed: (i) teachers’ conceptions of what the notion of mathematical literacy means, (ii) teachers’ conceptions of how the development of mathematical literacy could be facilitated, and (iii) teachers’ conceptions of what a mathematics curriculum emphasizing mathematical literacy should look like. The data gathered fo...
The effects of computer based instruction on seventh grade students’ spatial ability, attitudes toward geometry, mathematics and technology
Boyraz, Şebnem; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Department of Educational Sciences (2008)
The aims of this study were to investigate the effects of two different methods of dynamic geometry based computer instruction on seventh grade students’ attitudes towards geometry, attitudes toward mathematic and technology and spatial abilities compared to traditional textbook based instruction and to get the students’ views related to the effects of computer based instruction on their learning. The sample consisted of 57 seventh grade students from a private elementary school in Kayseri. The study was co...
Students' Perceptions On Effective Dimensions Of Interactive Learning In A Blended Learning Environment
Delialioğlu, Ömer; Yıldırım, Zahide (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2007)
This study investigates students' perceptions of the "effective dimensions of interactive learning" in a hybrid course. A case- study design was used, and 25 students enrolled in "Computer Networks and Communication," a course at a public university in Turkey, formed the sample of this study. The study lasted for 14 weeks. At the end of the study, interviews were conducted to gather data on the "effective dimensions of interactive learning". Additionally, computer logs of the students were kept and analyzed...
