This paper explores the nature of prospective teachers' noticing of students' understanding as they analyze and discuss middle school students' understandings of trapezoids in micro-case videos in the context of geometry. In this exploratory study, the data were obtained from eight prospective middle school mathematics teachers through individual video analysis, reflection papers, and group discussions. The results indicated that the use of purposeful micro-case video designs based on prospective teachers' background knowledge of quadrilaterals allowed them to be productive in video analyses and discussions. In individual video analyses, prospective teachers attended to various mathematical elements to identify students' responses but did not always use them to make interpretations of each student's understanding of trapezoid. In the group discussions of the micro-case videos, in contrast, prospective teachers could provide alternative interpretations of students' understanding by identifying links between the mathematical elements in students' responses and the characteristics of students' understandings. In the group discussions, they provided more detailed and specific instructional actions to support each student's understanding of trapezoid than their individual video analyses. This study suggests practical implications for teacher education programs on how to use video cases (e.g., firstly, working individually and then having group discussions about the videos) to explore prospective teachers' professional noticing skills. Considering prospective teachers' background knowledge of related mathematical contents, this study can also inspire future studies on how to design effective videos about students' mathematical understanding.

Exploring prospective secondary mathematics teachers' interpretation of student thinking through analysing students' work in modelling
Kabar, Makbule Gözde Didiş; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Çetinkaya, Bülent; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Alacacı, Cengiz (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2016-09-01)
Researchers point out the importance of teachers' knowledge of student thinking and the role of examining student work in various contexts to develop a knowledge base regarding students' ways of thinking. This study investigated prospective secondary mathematics teachers' interpretations of students' thinking as manifested in students' work that embodied solutions of mathematical modelling tasks. The data were collected from 25 prospective mathematics teachers enrolled in an undergraduate course through fou...
INVESTIGATING PLANE GEOMETRY PROBLEM-SOLVING STRATEGIES OF PROSPECTIVE MATHEMATICS TEACHERS IN TECHNOLOGY AND PAPER-AND-PENCIL ENVIRONMENTS
Koyuncu, Ilhan; Akyüz, Didem; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2015-08-01)
This study aims to investigate plane geometry problem-solving strategies of prospective mathematics teachers using dynamic geometry software (DGS) and paper-and-pencil (PPB) environments after receiving an instruction with GeoGebra (GGB). Four plane geometry problems were used in a multiple case study design to understand the solution strategies developed by 2 prospective teachers. The results revealed that although the participants mostly used algebraic solutions in the PPB environment, they preferred geom...
Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching the Function Concept and Student Learning Outcomes
Hatisaru, Vesife; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-04-01)
The purpose of this study was to examine the potential interrelationships between teachers' mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT) the function concept and their students' learning outcomes of this concept. Data were collected from two teachers teaching in a vocational high school and their students through a function concept test for teachers and students, follow-up interviews with teachers, and classroom observations. Findings indicated that teachers' MKT and students' learning outcomes were related to...
Developing a Structural Model on the Relationship among Motivational Beliefs, Self-Regulated Learning Strategies, and Achievement in Mathematics
FADLELMULA, Fatma Kayan; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Sungur, Semra (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2015-12-01)
This study examines the interrelationships among students' motivational beliefs (i.e. achievement goal orientations, perception of classroom goal structure, and self-efficacy), use of self-regulated learning strategies (i.e. elaboration, organization, and metacognitive self-regulation strategies), and achievement in mathematics, by proposing and testing a structural model. Participants were 1,019 seventh grade students, enrolled in public elementary schools in Ankara, Turkey. Self-report questionnaires and ...
Multilevel Investigation of Students' Self-regulation Processes in Learning Science: Classroom Learning Environment and Teacher Effectiveness
Yerdelen, Sundus; Sungur, Semra (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-01-01)
This study aimed to investigate the role of students' classroom learning environment perceptions and teacher effectiveness in 7th grade students' self-regulation in science classes. Students' self-regulation was examined in terms of self-efficacy, achievement goals, and metacognitive strategy use which constitute important components of self-regulation. The relations of students' perceived classroom learning environment (i.e. student cohesiveness, teacher support, involvement, investigation, task orientatio...
