The aim of this study was to investigate the changes on what the prospective elementary mathematics teachers noticed as they watched video cases and discussed online. More specially, I wanted to answer the question “To what extent the elementary prospective mathematics teachers’ noticing with respect to reform-minded teaching changes during their video case-based teacher education, in terms of teacher and student roles?” With this question in mind, I asked senior prospective mathematics teachers at METU to watch six video cases depicting real elementary mathematics classrooms, and then discuss these cases in an online forum. The research was conducted during the 2008-2009 fall semester. Participants were asked to write reflection papers after watching a video each week. The online discussions took place in Metu Online-Net ClassR online forum, and each discussion was about a long week. The research study was qualitative in nature. Specifically, it was a case study research. Prospective teachers’ reflection papers on the videos, the online discussions, and interviews with the selected 15 focus participants at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the study were the data sources. The data were analyzed through the qualitative data analysis techniques. The findings suggested that prospective teachers’ noticing skills with respect to the teacher and student roles in reform-minded teaching and learning were developed throughout the online video-case based discussions.

Fostering preservice mathematics teachers' professional identity orientations through noticing practices in a video case-based community Çelikdemir, Kübra; Haser, Çiğdem; Department of Mathematics and Science Education (2018) The aim of this study was to investigate preservice middle school mathematics teachers’ professional identities in a video case-based community. Data were collected from 12 preservice teachers (the community) during the Fall semester of 2015-2016 education year in the school experience course. Six video cases in the area of Geometry and Measurement were discussed for six weeks in the community coordinated by the researcher. Data were collected via individual initial-post interviews, reflection papers, group...
PROSPECTIVE MATHEMATICS TEACHERS' MATHEMATICAL KNOWLEDGE FOR TEACHING Işıksal Bostan, Mine (2011-07-06) In this study we aimed to examine prospective elementary mathematics teachers' mathematical knowledge for teaching. More specifically, our aim was to understand whether the Teaching Method Course had an effect on prospective mathematics teachers' mathematical knowledge. The study was conducted with 31 prospective elementary mathematics teachers in a large public university in Ankara, Turkey in 2010-2011 fall semester. To collect data, a survey instrument including 5 open-ended questions was developed by the...
Exploring prospective teachers' noticing of students' understanding through micro-case videos ULUSOY, FADİME; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-03-18) This paper explores the nature of prospective teachers' noticing of students' understanding as they analyze and discuss middle school students' understandings of trapezoids in micro-case videos in the context of geometry. In this exploratory study, the data were obtained from eight prospective middle school mathematics teachers through individual video analysis, reflection papers, and group discussions. The results indicated that the use of purposeful micro-case video designs based on prospective teachers' ...
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...
Fostering prospective mathematics teachers' proportional reasoning through a practice-based instruction Piskin Tunc, Mutlu; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç (Informa UK Limited, 2020-11-01) The purpose of this study was to investigate prospective middle school mathematics teachers' proportional reasoning before and after receiving a practice-based instruction based on proportional reasoning. The Proportional Reasoning Test, semi-structured interviews and observations of student teachings were used to collect data about the participants' proportional reasoning. The results indicated that prospective teachers improved their proportional reasoning by completing a practice-based instruction. Befor...
