Investigating Sources of Pre Service Teachers Self Efficacy For Preparing And Implementing Mathematical Tasks

2015-02-04
The goal of this study was to understand pre-service teachers' self-efficacy beliefs for preparing and implementing mathematical tasks and to explore which sources of self-efficacy they wighted and interpreted when judging their capabilities as a result of attending a mathematics teaching methods course designed with a focus on mathematics teaching through tasks. Nine pre-service teachers participated in this study and they were interviewed at the end of the methods course. Findings revealed that methods course provided opportunities for mostly vicarious experiences and physiological states sources, and participants were feeling highly efficacious to prepare mathematical tasks, but they had doubts about their capabilities to implement tasks effectively.

Arslan, Okan; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2012)
The purpose of this study is developing valid and reliable scales in order to measure beliefs and perceived self-efficacy beliefs towards using origami in mathematics education and then, investigating beliefs and perceived self-efficacy beliefs of Turkish prospective elementary mathematics teachers in using origami in mathematics education. Furthermore, gender differences in prospective teachers' beliefs and perceived self-efficacy beliefs in using origami in mathematics education were investigated. Data fo...
An analysis of geometry problems in 6-8 grades Turkish mathematics textbooks
Delil, Hüseyin; Ubuz, Behiye; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2006)
The purpose of this study was to analyze geometry problems in a widely used sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-grade Turkish elementary mathematics textbooks series based on the cognitive assessment frameworks of the most recent TIMSS, the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study 2003. To compare geometry problems in the textbooks and TIMSS 1999, in which Turkish students poorly performed, the cognitive behaviors that the problems required were determined and categorized. After the analysis, it was f...
Investigating the use of technology on pre-service elementary mathematics teachers' plane geometry problem solving strategies
Koyuncu, İlhan; Akyüz, Didem; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2013)
The purpose of this study was to investigate plane geometry problem solving strategies of pre-service elementary mathematics teachers in technology and paper-and-pencil environments after receiving an instruction with GeoGebra. Qualitative research strategies were used to investigate teacher candidates‘ solution strategies. The data was collected and analyzed by means of a multiple case study design. The study was carried out with 7 pre-service elementary mathematics teachers. The main data sources were cla...
