Mathematics curriculum for 6-8 grades (MoNE, 2011) gives importance to make connection between mathematics and other disciplines. This program emphasizes that connection is effective on students for noticing mathematics in real life and understanding other disciplines. When mathematics and science curricula investigated together, common skills such as; critical-creative thinking, questioning, problem solving, etc. attract attention in both curricula. This connection in mathematics is also reflected on the teacher guidebooks. Thus, the purpose of this study is to reveal in which subjects, how, how often, and by which purposes, contents in the 7th grade mathematics teacher’s books are related to the concepts of science. In the study, document analysis method was used. Consequently, 47 concepts related to science were determined in total. 60% of them include conceptual knowledge for science. Moreover, 40% of them have no conceptual purpose and they only aim to give daily life examples for mathematics

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...
Exploring secondary mathematics teachers’ conceptions of mathematical literacy Genç, Murat; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2017) The purpose of this research study was to investigate secondary mathematics teachers’ conceptions of mathematical literacy. In doing so, the following three crucial interrelated issues were addressed: (i) teachers’ conceptions of what the notion of mathematical literacy means, (ii) teachers’ conceptions of how the development of mathematical literacy could be facilitated, and (iii) teachers’ conceptions of what a mathematics curriculum emphasizing mathematical literacy should look like. The data gathered fo...
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...
An Investigation of pre-service middle school mathematics teachers‟ ability to connect the mathematics in content courses with the middle school mathematics Dilberoğlu, Merve; Haser, Çiğdem; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2015) This study investigated if and how preservice middle school mathematics teachers related the mathematical knowledge addressed in general mathematics content courses in a four-year teacher education program to their future teaching of middle school mathematics. The study involved two interrelated sections. On one hand, preservice middle school mathematics teachers' views on the issue were gathered through asking open-ended questions via a semi-structured interview protocol. On the other hand, their performan...
A STUDY ON MATHEMATICS TEACHERS' USE OF TEXTBOOKS IN INSTRUCTIONAL PROCESS ÖZGELDİ, MERİÇ; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç (2011-02-13) This paper provides an analysis of mathematics teachers' use of curriculum materials. 13 elementary mathematics teachers participated in the interviews for how they used the curriculum materials, specifically textbooks. The purpose of this study is to examine what mathematics teachers do with curriculum materials and how they use them for mathematics. The results of the interviews indicated that mathematics teachers used different textbooks to make instructional decisions, and they mostly adapted problems a...
