The purpose of this study was to explore pre-service and in-service mathematics teachers' analyses of student learning in a video case of mathematics instruction via an online learning forum. The study was conducted in the context of three different mathematics methods courses in a 4-year college in the Midwestern United States. Twenty-six students (19 undergraduate and 7 master's students) participated in the study. As a course assignment, the participants were asked to watch and discuss a video case of mathematics instruction. During the discussions, the instructor and participants posted 57 online messages in total. To analyze the data, the content analysis technique was employed. As the initial coding framework, National Council of Teacher of Mathematics [NCTM] Process Standards including problem solving, reasoning and proof, communication, connections, and representation were selected. The analysis of the data revealed that effective student participation, the importance of communication among the students as well as between the students and their teacher, the necessity of using connections among mathematical ideas, use of manipulative, using what students have already learned in a new situation, and building knowledge through problem solving were identified as evidence of mathematics learning by the participants.

Investigating middle school mathematics teachers‟ mathematical knowledge for teaching algebra: a multiple case study Girit, Dilek; Akyüz, Didem; Department of Elementary Education (2016) The aim of this study was to examine middle school mathematics teachers’ mathematical knowledge for teaching generalization of patterns and operations with algebraic expressions in planning and implementing processes. Data were collected from two middle school mathematics teachers who worked in the same public school throughout the instruction of algebra unit at 7th grade. In data collection process, lesson plans prepared by the teachers, pre-observation interviews, observations, field notes, and post-obser...
Through Their Eyes: Gifted Students' Views on Integrating History of Mathematics Embedded Videos Into Mathematics Classrooms Karatas-Aydin, Firdevs Iclal; Işıksal Bostan, Mine (2022-04-01) This study examined gifted students' views on integrating the history of mathematics embedded videos into mathematics classrooms. The research was conducted with 30 fifth-grade students who were identified as gifted with the WISC-R Intelligent Test Score and aptitude test. Data were collected through students' video reflection papers after watching the videos on biographies of mathematicians. Content analysis was conducted to analyze data collected with reflection papers. The findings were grouped as histor...
Fostering preservice mathematics teachers' professional identity orientations through noticing practices in a video case-based community Çelikdemir, Kübra; Haser, Çiğdem; Department of Mathematics and Science Education (2018) The aim of this study was to investigate preservice middle school mathematics teachers’ professional identities in a video case-based community. Data were collected from 12 preservice teachers (the community) during the Fall semester of 2015-2016 education year in the school experience course. Six video cases in the area of Geometry and Measurement were discussed for six weeks in the community coordinated by the researcher. Data were collected via individual initial-post interviews, reflection papers, group...
Investigating Sources of Pre Service Teachers Self Efficacy For Preparing And Implementing Mathematical Tasks YÜREKLİ, BİLGE; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç (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 co...
Investigation into prospective middle school mathematics teachers' noticing of students' algebraic thinking within the context of pattern generalization Özel, Zeynep.; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2019) The purpose of this study was to investigate prospective middle school mathematics teachers’ noticing skills of students’ algebraic thinking within the context of pattern generalization. In order to obtain in- depth exploration and understanding of issue, the qualitative research method, in particular, the case study design was used. Thirty-two prospective teachers who were studying at one of the public universities located in Ankara were selected via purposive sampling as participants. Data was collected i...
