This study aimed to explore how prospective middle school mathematics teachers think critically about a newspaper article that reported the findings of a statistical research. Participants of the study were four fourth-year students enrolled at the mathematics teacher education program of a public university. To investigate the research question of the study, case study method was employed. Indepth semi-structured interviews were done to examine participants' critical thinking processes. The findings of the study indicated that prospective mathematics teachers made use of a variety of critical thinking processes (comprehending, making connections, inferring ideas, critiquing, and self-reflecting) and provided clues about the interrelated nature of these processes. This study would shed light on the characterization of critical thinking in the context of statistical literacy by suggesting a blended framework. It also suggests the design of the tasks including media articles to promote both statistical literacy and critical thinking in statistics education courses for prospective mathematics teachers.

Making sense of statistical and probabilistic information in the media texts Pre service teachers critical thinking processes
ÖZEN, MEHTAP; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç (2015-02-08)
This study aimed to investigate the critical thinking processes that pre-service middle school mathematics teachers utilize when they intensely engaged with the media text based on statistical and probabilistic information. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with four pre-service middle school mathematics teachers in a public university. The findings of the study pointed out that pre-service middle school mathematics teachers progressed through different critical thinking processes, including c...
Online professional development program for science teachers: a case study
Ateşkan, Armağan; Özden, M. Yaşar; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2008)
The aim of this study was to investigate science teachers’ perceptions about the online teacher professional development (oTPD) program. The research study included two consecutive steps. The first step was related to the design of the oTPD program. With the help of related literature, examples of oTPD programs and expert opinions, an oTPD program was designed. In the second step, ten of the alumni of Bilkent University Graduate School of Education Biology Teacher Education Program participated in a ten wee...
Investigation of pre-service mathematics teachers' critical thinking processes through stattistical and probabilistic knowledge in the context of popular media texts
Özen, Mehtap; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2013)
The aim of the study is to investigate pre-service middle school mathematics teachers’ critical thinking processes through statistical and probabilistic knowledge in the context of popular media texts. The study was conducted with a qualitative case study method. Participants of the study consisted of four senior pre-service middle school mathematics teachers enrolled in a public university. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the participants. Analysis of the data was conducted on the basi...
Determination of the statistical literacy differences between mathematics and science teachers
Karataş, Melike Dila; Akyüz, Didem (null; 2018-08-01)
The purpose of this research study is to investigate elementary school mathematics and science teachers' questioning, responses, and perceived influences about statistical situations and examine their different perspectives. To achieve this, an interview was conducted with mathematics and science teachers. The interview questions were prepared about statistical literacy that focus on real-world situations and definitions of statistical terms. The result of the study demonstrated statistical literacy differe...
Preparing pre-service teachers for reform-minded teaching through online video case discussions: change in noticing
Osmanoğlu, Aslıhan; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Department of Elementary Education (2010)
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 ...
