This study aimed to investigate the critical thinking processes that pre-service middle school mathematics teachers utilize when they intensely engaged with the media text based on statistical and probabilistic information. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with four pre-service middle school mathematics teachers in a public university. The findings of the study pointed out that pre-service middle school mathematics teachers progressed through different critical thinking processes, including comprehending, making connections, inferring ideas, critiquing, and self-reflecting about the information given in the newspaper article.

Determination of the statistical literacy differences between mathematics and science teachers Karataş, Melike Dila; Akyüz, Didem (null; 2018-08-01) The purpose of this research study is to investigate elementary school mathematics and science teachers' questioning, responses, and perceived influences about statistical situations and examine their different perspectives. To achieve this, an interview was conducted with mathematics and science teachers. The interview questions were prepared about statistical literacy that focus on real-world situations and definitions of statistical terms. The result of the study demonstrated statistical literacy differe...
Seventh Graders' Statistical Literacy: an Investigation on Bar and Line Graphs Çatman Aksoy, Emine; Işıksal Bostan, Mine (2020-02-10) The aim of the current study was to investigate the statistical literacy of seventh grade students regarding the concepts of average and variation on bar and line graphs presented in alternative real-life contexts. To this end, the statistical literacy levels of the seventh grade students were initially determined. Subsequently, definitions, interpretations and evaluations generated by the students at varying levels of statistical literacy were examined in further depth. More specifically, a qualitative sur...
Anthropological analysis of graphic content knowledge pre-service elementary mathematics teachers Akar, Nazlı (null; 2017-05-19) The purpose of this study is to analyse the content knowledge on graphs of pre-service elementary mathematics teachers from an anthropological perspective. 112 pre-service elementary mathematics teachers participated in the study. Concentric mixed pattern research method has been used in the study. The data was collected through Graphic Content Knowledge Scale and interview method in order to examine the content knowledge of primary school math teacher candidates related to graphics anthropologically. This ...
