The purpose of the present study is to investigate mathematics anxiety among 220 sixth through eighth grade Turkish students in terms of mathematics achievement levels, perceived enjoyment of the mathematics teaching method, perceived enjoyment of mathematics, and perceived help with mathematics from parents. The Mathematics Anxiety Scale for Primary School Students (Bindak, 2005) was used to assess the levels of mathematics anxiety. A 3 x 2 factorial analysis of variance results showed that there was not a significant interaction effect or main effect of gender: however, there was a significant main effect of grade level. Standard multiple regression analyses show that independent variables accounted for 63% to 70% of variability in the dependent variable. The results also indicate that not only the perceived enjoyment of mathematics, but also the enjoyment of the mathematics teaching method and help with mathematics from parents had a significant effect on mathematics anxiety.

An investigation of the relationship among the seventh grade students’ mathematics self efficacy, mathematics anxiety, attitudes towards mathematics and mathematics achievement regarding gender and school type
Reçber, Şenol; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2011)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship among the seventh grade students’ mathematics self efficacy, mathematics anxiety, attitudes towards mathematics, and mathematics achievements regarding gender and school type. Moreover, the role of three personal constructs (self efficacy, anxiety and attitude) and two demographics (gender and school type) on predicting mathematics achievement were also investigated. The Data was collected from 13 elementary schools in Çankaya District of Ankara ...
An investigation of mathematics achievement of eighth grade students with respect to their learning styles
Kurbal, Serkan Süleyman; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Department of Educational Sciences (2011)
This study aimed to investigate the differences in mathematics achievement scores of the eighth grade students with respect to their learning styles. Mathematics achievements of the eighth grade students were determined by the number of correct answers given in the mathematics subtest of Level Determination Examination (abbreviated in Turkish as SBS) which was administered in June 2009. Mathematics achievements of the eighth grade students were also determined by teacher-assigned mathematics grades which we...
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...
A phenomenological study on mathematics teachers having experience with innovative learning activities: views, enablers,and barriers
Erbasan, Elçin; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Department of Mathematics Education (2021-2-10)
The purpose of the study was to investigate middle school mathematics teachers’ views and experiences regarding innovative mathematics learning activities. This study also aimed to determine enablers and barriers in the process of the activities and teachers’ suggestions that may lead the educational stakeholders to increase the qualityofmathematicsinstruction and accordingly, student learning. Phenomenological research was conducted with thirteen middle school mathematics teachers ...
A study on pre-service elementary mathematics teachers’ subject matter knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge regarding the multiplication and division of fractions
Işıksal, Mine; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2006)
The purpose of this study was to examine pre-service mathematics teachers’ subject matter knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, and the relationships between the two on multiplication and division of fractions. For this purpose, pre-service teachers’ understanding of key facts, concepts, principles, and proofs, their knowledge on common (mis)conceptions and difficulties held by the elementary students, their strategies of teaching these concepts, and representations they use to reason their understandin...
