This paper describes a pre-service mathematics teachers' technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) during her school experience. This study focuses on how the participant taught different views of three-dimensional objects in a private middle school. It is a descriptive case study in which the data was collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, lesson plans and corresponding GeoGebra files. The data analysis showed that there is an increase in the technological pedagogical content knowledge of the participant during the practicum. In other words, the findings of the study reveal that there was an observable development in the participant's skills in teaching with technology during the school experience course which helped the improvement of her TPACK. It is proposed that the school experience helped her develop her knowledge of teaching in dynamic geometry-integrated mathematics classrooms. This claim and resulting implications for practice are unpacked in further detail.

Investigating perceptions of preservice mathematics teachers on their technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) regarding geometry Bulut, Aykut; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2012) The aim of this study is to investigate perceptions of preservice mathematics teachers’ technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) regarding geometry. In addition, the purpose is to examine the relationships among the components of TPACK. Moreover, possible gender and year of enrollment differences related to preservice mathematics teachers’ technological pedagogical content knowledge dimensions are examined. This research study has been conducted with 780 preservice mathematics teachers who are en...
An investigation of middle school mathematics teachers' knowledge for teaching algebra Yilmaz, Nurbanu; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat (2017-01-01) The purpose of this study was to investigate middle school mathematics teachers' knowledge for teaching algebra. The participants of the study were 48 mathematics teachers from various middle schools. A questionnaire was conducted in order to collect data about the teachers' knowledge related to teaching of algebra. The results showed that the participating teachers were competent in making transitions among different algebraic representations. However, they had difficulties in explaining the conceptual bas...
Development of Preservice Science Teachers' Pedagogical Content Knowledge for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics in the context of Lesson Study Güler Nalbantoğlu, Fulden; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül; Department of Elementary Education (2023-2) The purpose of the present study was to investigate the development of preservice science teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education in the context of lesson study. The lesson study was integrated into the Practice Teaching in Science course, and there were four lesson study cycles throughout the study. Each lesson study cycle consisted of planning, teaching, reflecting, re-teaching, and re-reflecting phases. The design of the study was a m...
An Investigation of in-service secondary mathematics teachers’ evolving knowledge through professional development activities based on modeling perspective Aydoğan Yenmez, Arzu; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2012) Although an increasing number of research studies in mathematics education have begun focusing their efforts on mathematical modeling as a need for change to convey mathematical ideas beyond schools, there is not enough information about the nature of the teacher knowledge for effective use of modeling in mathematics teaching and how this knowledge evolves. The goal of this study is to investigate teachers’ evolving knowledge when they engage in professional development activities based on lesson study cycl...
The development of elementary mathematics teachers’ technological pedagogical content knowledge regarding geometry through mathematics coaching Aygün, Berna; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Department of Elementary Education (2016) The aim of this study was to investigate the Technological Pedagogical Content Kowledge (TPACK) Development of the in-service mathematics teachers in the field of geometry through participating in mathematics coaching. In order to achieve the purpose of the study, two elementary mathematics teachers working in public schools in Black Sea Region participated in the study. The method of qualitative research was used to get deep and rich information about the development of elementary mathematics teachers’ TPA...
