The purpose of the study was to identify tools that help teachers to use in teacher questioning in middle-grade mathematics classrooms. In addition to this, the study aimed to examine teachers’ questioning behaviors concerning teachers' question types and the interaction among the tools for questioning and question types. This study was applied a multiple case with two middle grade mathematics teachers. The participant teachers were video recorded for the lines and angles topic. In one of the classroom, technology was included, and there was a non-technology enhanced classroom environment for the other classroom. The findings of the study showed that, in total, there were six categories of tools for questioning, which included information technology, printed supplementary materials, teacher drawings, student ideas, analogies, and real-life examples. Participant teachers used guiding, probing, and factual questions during their instructions. Participant teachers differed from each other in the types of questions and characteristics of the types of the questions they used throughout the lessons. The relations among the tools for questioning showed that for Teacher Caner, printed supplementary book was closely in relation to students’ questions or ideas while for Teacher Barış, supplementary book was closely related to his drawings while solving worked examples. The relations among the tools for questioning and question types of the teachers showed that Teacher Caner was used tools for questioning with all question types while Mr. Barış was only used guiding questions with all his tools for questioning. The findings of the study were discussed and the further studies were suggested.

An Analysis of prospective middle school mathematics teachers‘ argumentation structures in technology and paper-pencil environments
Erkek, Özlem; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Department of Elementary Education (2017)
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 docu...
A case study of elementary mathematics teachers' views of their and students' textbook usage and of mathematics textbooks' characteristics
Başer, Nadiye; Haser, Çiğdem; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2012)
The purpose of this study was to investigate teachers’ ways of using mathematics textbooks while planning the lesson and during the lesson, to document teachers’ views about elementary students’ usage of mathematics textbook during the classroom time and for their homework and teachers’ views about mathematics textbooks’ characteristics. A case study was conducted in a private elementary school with more class hours for mathematics and six mathematics teachers teaching 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th grade mathemati...
Developing eighth grade students’ mathematical practices in solids through argumentation: a design-based study
Şahin Doğruer, Şule; Akyüz, Didem; Department of Elementary Education (2018)
The purpose of this study was to obtain classroom mathematical practices of eighth graders’ during the concept of solids and to test the effectiveness of this content in an eighth-grade mathematics classroom. In this respect, an instructional sequence was used with guidance of a hypothetical learning trajectory. The context was basic elements of prisms, their surface area, basic elements of cylinder, its surface area and its volume. The process continued through four and half weeks. Argumentations, dynamic ...
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...
An Investigation into middle school mathematics teachers‟ subject matter knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge regarding the volume of 3D solids
Tekin Sitrava, Reyhan; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Department of Elementary Education (2014)
The purpose of this study was to examine middle school mathematics teachers' subject matter knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge of the volume of 3D solids. In order to achieve the purpose of the study, four middle school teachers working in public schools in Ankara participated in the study. To get deep and rich answers to research questions asked, qualitative methodology was used.Participants were selected through purposeful sampling. Data was gathered via questionnaire, semi-structured interviews,...
