The aim of the present study was to investigate the nature of global argumentation structures of prospective middle school mathematics teachers in a technology enhanced environment. A qualitative case study was conducted with 8 participants from an Elementary Mathematics Education undergraduate program of one of the public universities in Ankara. Two implementations, 1 of which included 2 geometry tasks on triangles and another which included 2 geometry tasks based on circles, were conducted. Subsequently, global argumentation structures were revealed via data analysis. The findings indicated that the prospective middle school mathematics teachers resort frequently to simple global argumentation structures since their mathematical reasoning was insufficient. On the other hand, technology had a positive impact on argument construction and global argumentation structures of prospective middle school mathematics teachers. However, it was deduced that prospective middle school mathematics teachers need to be challenged on argumentation and about how to facilitate argumentation effectively in their future classroom experiences.

Cevikbas, Mustafa; Cevikbas, Seher (2015-01-01)
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the FATIH Project from the perspective of future mathematics teachers. Contributions to the education system derived from the project, and related problems that emerged from the implementation process, were investigated based on the prospective teachers' observations. Qualitative research methods were used in the study, and the participants were 50 prospective mathematics teachers, who were senior students from a state university in Turkey. They were selected...
Middle School Mathematics Teachers' Views and Experiences Regarding Technology Integration
Duran, Anıl Ayseli; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Department of Mathematics Education (2022-6-27)
The purpose of the study was to investigate the views and experiences of middle school mathematics teachers regarding technology integration. How they use technology, their perceived benefits of it, difficulties that they face, their ways of overcoming the difficulties, and teachers’ suggestions that would be helpful for all teachers were determined based on their experiences. Qualitative research was conducted with nine middle school mathematics teachers using the snowball sampling method. The participants...
Understanding Teachers in the Midst of Reform: Teachers' Concerns about Reformed Sixth Grade Mathematics Curriculum in Turkey
Çetinkaya, Bülent (2012-08-01)
The purpose of this study was to investigate mathematics teachers' concerns about the reformed 6th grade mathematics curriculum in Turkey and to identify the possible relations between teachers' personal characteristics and their concerns about the curriculum. 306 in-service mathematics teachers teaching in Ankara participated in the study. Teachers' concerns about reformed curriculum were identified by administration of Concerns-Based Adoption Model (CBAM). Results showed that teachers' concerns focused ma...
An investigation of pre service mathematics teachers views and reflections about elementary mathematics classes instructional issues
Doğan Coşkun, Sümeyra; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Koç, Yusuf (2013-01-01)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the nature of changes in pre-service mathematics teachers’ views and reflections about instructional issues in elementary mathematics classes as they progress in teacher education program. For this aim, 19 preservice mathematics teachers, making their observations in their cooperating schools for 3 months, wrote and submitted their reports. The reports were analyzed via content analysis. The results indicated that although there was commonality in the views and r...
Elementary school teachers' views about their implementation of the assessment techniques recommended in the new mathematics curriculum
Uçar, Nihan; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2007)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the views of elementary school teachers about their implementation of assessment techniques recommended in the new mathematics curriculum. The study was conducted with 306 elementary school teachers from 29 public schools in Kırıkkale, Malatya and Ankara in the 2006-2007 academic year. ‘Opinions about Assessment Questionnaire’ was used as the instrument for assessing the opinions of the teachers about assessment techniques offered in new mathematics curriculum. T...
