Two studies were conducted for the development and validation of a multidimensional test to assess undergraduate students' mathematical thinking about derivative. The first study involved two phases: question generation and refinement of the Thinking-about-Derivative Test (TDT). The second study included four phases as follows: test administration, generalizability analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and subgroup validity analysis. Findings suggested that the 30-item multiple-choice TDT, which comprises 6 mathematical thinking aspects, enactive, iconic, algorithmic, algebraic, formal, and axiomatic thinking, demonstrates acceptable levels of reliability and validity. Followed by additional cross-validation studies, the TDT may be a useful tool for mathematics education researchers and mathematicians. Directions for future research and implications for educational practice are discussed.

The nature of prospective mathematics teachers' pedagogical content knowledge: the case of multiplication of fractions
Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2011-06-01)
The purpose of this study was to investigate prospective mathematics teachers' knowledge of common conceptions and misconceptions that sixth and seventh grade students had about multiplication of fractions. In addition, prospective teachers' knowledge of the sources of these misconceptions and strategies they knew to overcome these misconceptions was examined. Data were collected from 17 Turkish prospective teachers at the end of the spring semester of the 2004-2005 academic year. A case study design was us...
The effects of a mathematics teaching methods course on pre-service elementary mathematics teachers’ content knowledge for teaching mathematics
Seviş, Şerife; Koç, Yusuf; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2008)
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of a mathematics teaching methods course on pre-service elementary mathematics teachers’ content knowledge for teaching mathematics (CKTM). In order to accomplish this purpose, pre-service mathematics teachers’ understanding of basic concepts and procedures in school mathematics, use of mathematical definitions, presentation of mathematical content to students, identification of common errors, misconceptions and solution strategies and evaluation of unusua...
Growth in children's understanding of generalizing and representing mathematical structure and relationships
Blanton, Maria; İşler Baykal, Işıl; Stroud, Rena; Stephens, Ana; Knuth, Eric; Gardiner, Angela Murphy (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-10-01)
We share here results from a quasi-experimental study that examines growth in students' algebraic thinking practices of generalizing and representing generalizations, particularly with variable notation, as a result of an early algebra instructional sequence implemented across grades 3-5. Analyses showed that, while there were no significant differences between experimental and control students on a grade 3 pre-assessment measuring students' capacity for generalizing and representing generalizations, experi...
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...
