The current study seeks to investigate pre-service elementary mathematics teachers’ (PEMTs’) self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies within the context of their teaching practices in the field work. It was aimed to explore the SRL processes and strategies of four PEMTs while preparing mathematics lessons at their practice schools. In addition to PEMTs’ SRL strategies, the changes and adaptations through their teaching practices and reasons of those changes were also examined in the study. In total 22 pre-interviews and 22 post-interviews were made through the study. Observations were also performed for each teaching practice. Besides observations, PEMTs’ end of semester reflection papers in the context of Teaching Practice course were examined in the study. In addition to those multiple data sources, initial interviews representing detailed information about the participants were also analyzed. The overall data were analyzed by using the SRL framework combined and adapted from Zimmerman’s and Pintrich’s SRL models. The findings of the pre-interviews revealed that PEMTs began with a ‘lesson planning process’ reflecting the forethought phase. This phase included searching resources, arranging and organizing the available sources, asking for help and feedback when needed, mental planning of the lesson, and setting goals for the teaching session. These strategies were considered as cognitive self-regulation strategies. In addition to cognitive SRL strategies, motivational factors such as self-efficacy, perception of task, and intrinsic interest were appeared in the study. Post-interviews reflecting the self-reflection phase revealed that PEMTs had a self-evaluation process covering various issues for their teaching sessions as a final step through the study. Finally, it was seen that contextual issues related to teaching practice played a substantial role in PEMTs’ SRL strategies.

Pre-service elementary mathematics teachers’ views about using graphing calculators in elementary school algebra: the case of using Classpad
Kaplan, Merve; Çetinkaya, Bülent; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2011)
Mathematics education could and should benefit from technology in order to improve teaching and learning, particularly in topics where visualizations and connections to other concepts are needed. Handheld technologies such as graphing calculators can provide students with visualization, confirmation and exploration of problems and concepts they are learning. Handheld graphing technologies have been taken place widely in elementary and secondary level mathematics courses and considered to be beneficial in va...
Pre-service elementary mathematics teachers’ conception of derivative from commognition perspective
Yiğitcan Nayir, Özge; Bulut, Safure; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2013)
The purposes of this study were to investigate pre-service elementary mathematics teachers’ discourse on derivative in group, classroom and individual discussions and determine their conception of derivative. In order to examine pre-service teachers’ discourse on derivative communicational approach to cognition (commognition) was applied. Pre-service teachers’ words and their uses, visual mediators, narratives and routines were analyzed. This study was designed as a qualitative study. Data were collected fr...
7th-grade students’ typical errors and possible misconceptions in graphs concept before and after the regular mathematics instruction
Tortop, Tuğba; Haser, Çiğdem; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2011)
The purpose of this study was to investigate 7th-grade students’ typical errors and possible misconceptions in graphs concept before and after the regular mathematics instruction. The study was conducted in an elementary school in the 2nd semester of 2009-2010 academic year in Afyonkarahisar. A mathematics teacher and 71 7th-grade students participated in the study. The data were collected through achievement tests administered to the students before and after the instruction and interviews conducted with t...
Pre-service middle school mathematics teachers’ understanding of quadrilaterals through the definitions and their relationships
Öztoprakçı, Seçil; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Department of Elementary Education (2014)
The purpose of this study was to examine pre-service mathematics teachers’ cognitive progress in constructing and evaluating quadrilateral definitions and the corresponding quadrilateral hierarchies under the support of the Geometer’s Sketchpad learning activities. The study employed qualitative case study design of which data was collected from 5 pre-service middle school mathematics teachers during the spring semester of 2010-2011. The main data came from one-to-one clinical interview sessions assisted wi...
Middle school mathematics teachers' use of textbooks and integration of textbook tasks into practice: a mixed methods study
Özgeldi, Meriç; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2012)
The current study aimed to explore middle school mathematics teachers’ use of mathematics textbooks and examine their integration of tasks in the textbooks into teaching. The framework of a mixed methods research design guided data collection in this study. A questionnaire called the Use of Mathematics Textbooks Questionnaire was developed and validated to identify the ways teachers benefit from textbooks. The factor analysis revealed four dimensions, namely Reading Student Edition Textbook, Selecting Quest...
