Applications and modelling have gained a prominent role in mathematics education reform documents and curricula. Thus, there is a growing need for studies focusing on the effective use of mathematical modelling in classrooms. Assessment is an integral part of using modelling activities in classrooms, since it allows teachers to identify and manage problems that arise in various stages of the modelling process. However, teachers' difficulties in assessing student modelling work are a challenge to be considered when implementing modelling in the classroom. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate how teachers' knowledge on generating assessment criteria for assessing student competence in mathematical modelling evolved through a professional development programme, which is based on a lesson study approach and modelling perspective. The data was collected with four teachers from two public high schools over a five-month period. The professional development programme included a cyclical process, with each cycle consisting of an introductory meeting, the implementation of a model-eliciting activity with students, and a follow-up meeting. The results showed that the professional development programme contributed to teachers' knowledge for generating assessment criteria on the products, and the observable actions that affect the modelling cycle.

Measuring striving for understanding and learning value of geometry: a validity study
Ubuz, Behiye (Informa UK Limited, 2017-01-01)
The current study aimed to construct a questionnaire that measures students' personality traits related to striving for understanding and learning value of geometry and then examine its psychometric properties. Through the use of multiple methods on two independent samples of 402 and 521 middle school students, two studies were performed to address this issue to provide support for its validity. In Study 1, exploratory factor analysis indicated the two-factor model. In Study 2, confirmatory factor analysis ...
An instructional unit for prospective teachers' conceptualization of geometric transformations as functions
AVCU, SEHER; Çetinkaya, Bülent (Informa UK Limited, 2019-12-13)
This study explored prospective middle school mathematics teachers' developing understanding of geometric transformations through designing and implementing an instructional unit in a technology supported classroom environment. The instructional unit including seven activities was developed by considering past research on learners' pre-existing difficulties related to geometric transformations and research on learners' developing understanding of geometric transformations as functions. This instructional un...
Fostering prospective mathematics teachers' proportional reasoning through a practice-based instruction
Piskin Tunc, Mutlu; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç (Informa UK Limited, 2020-11-01)
The purpose of this study was to investigate prospective middle school mathematics teachers' proportional reasoning before and after receiving a practice-based instruction based on proportional reasoning. The Proportional Reasoning Test, semi-structured interviews and observations of student teachings were used to collect data about the participants' proportional reasoning. The results indicated that prospective teachers improved their proportional reasoning by completing a practice-based instruction. Befor...
Exploring the Quality of the Mathematical Tasks in the New Turkish Elementary School Mathematics Curriculum Guidebook the Case of Algebra
Ubuz, Behiye; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Çetinkaya, Bülent (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2010-01-01)
To take its due place in the world of education, Turkey has been through serious reform initiatives in the curriculums of various school subjects since 2003. The new Turkish elementary school curriculum was prepared considering the research studies conducted in Turkey and in other countries, as well as the educational systems of developed countries and previous experiences with mathematics education in Turkey. This study attempts to provide a perspective on the nature of the instructional tasks in the new e...
The contribution of learning motivation, reasoning ability and learning orientation to ninth grade international baccalaurate and national program students' understanding of mitosis and meiosis
Başer, Meltem; Öztekin, Ceren; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2007)
In this study, the contributions of learning motivation, reasoning ability, learning orientation and gender to International Baccalaureate and National Program students’ mitosis and meiosis achievement was investigated. Participants of the study were 472 ninth grade students from a private high school in Ankara. Two hundred nineteen students (46%) were in International Baccalaureate Program and two hundred fifty three (54%) were in National Program. The study was conducted during the 2006-2007 Spring semest...
