The purpose of the current study was to investigate the nature of argumentation structures of prospective middle school mathematics teachers while solving geometry tasks within the GeoGebra and Paper-Pencil groups. The study employed qualitative case study design and the data of which were collected from 16 prospective middle school mathematics teachers during the fall semester of the 2013-2014 academic year. Data were based on the video recordings of the implementations, the focus group interviews and documents. The findings revealed five types of global argumentation structures, two of which emerged from the present study: Line-structure and Independent-Arguments structure. In addition, the participants employed 9 types of local arguments while three of them were most frequently preferred. Finally, the local argumentations were examined by focusing on the justifications of the participants. This analysis revealed the characteristics of the local argumentations that prospective middle school mathematics teachers use while solving geometry tasks in GeoGebra and Paper-Pencil groups.

An Investigation of pre-service middle school mathematics teachers’ achievement levels in mathematical proof and the reasons of their wrong interpretations
Demiray, Esra; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2013)
The first purpose of the study is to investigate pre-service middle school mathematics teachers’ achievement levels in refutation, proof by contrapositive and proof by contradiction. The second purpose is to determine the reasons of their wrong interpretations in mentioned proof methods. The third purpose of the study is to investigate to what extent they can conduct valid proofs. As related to the third purpose, proof methods that they used in their valid proof and the reasons of conducting invalid proofs ...
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...
Prospective middle school mathematics teachers’ developing understanding of geometric transformations
Avcu, Seher; Çetinkaya, Bülent; Department of Sociology (2017)
The purpose of this study was to explore prospective middle school mathematics teachers’ developing understanding of geometric transformations during the implementation of a seven-week instructional sequence designed to have them gain a mapping understanding of geometric transformations. This instructional sequence involved exploring geometric transformations in both static and dynamic geometry environments. Participants of the study were sixteen prospective middle school mathematics teachers. Design-based ...
Investigating preservice middle school mathematics teachers’ noticing of students’ mathematical thinking in the context of lesson study /
Güner, Pınar; Akyüz, Didem; Department of Elementary Education (2017)
The purpose of the current study was to examine preservice middle school mathematics teachers’ noticing of students’ mathematical thinking in the context of lesson study professional development model and determine whether any changes took place in their noticing skills. Qualitative research methodology, in particular, case study was used in order to elaborate what and how preservice teachers notice during lesson study phases which are planning, teaching, reflecting, re teaching and re-reflecting. With this...
An Investigation of prospective elementary mathematics teachers' probabilistic misconceptions and reasons underlying these misconceptions
İlgün, Münevver; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2013)
The purpose of this study was to determine performance of prospective elementary mathematics teachers on answering the items handling the probabilistic misconceptions. The other aim was to investigate the underlying reasons behind these misconceptions of prospective elementary mathematics teachers. To address these aims, qualitative approach was performed. The sample of this study was obtained through convenience sampling. Data were gathered during 2011-2012 spring semester by administering Probability Misc...
