This study intends developing a valid and reliable instrument in order to determine pre-service mathematics teachers' attitudes and beliefs towards using history of mathematics in school mathematics courses. The data were collected at the beginning of the fall semester of 2010-2011 academic year from 237 teacher candidates in Turkey via Attitudes and Beliefs towards the Use of History of Mathematics in Mathematics Education (ABHME) Questionnaire developed by the researchers. The reliability coefficient of the ABHME was calculated as .91 and explanatory factor analysis revealed three factors: positive attitudes and beliefs towards the use of history in mathematics education, negative attitudes and beliefs towards the use of history in mathematics education, and self-efficacy beliefs towards the use of history in mathematics education.

The Relationship Among Mathematics Teaching Efficacy, Math Anxiety, and Mathematical Self-Concept: The Case of Turkish Pre-Service Elementary Teachers Işıksal Bostan, Mine (Philippines Journals Online (PhilJOL), 2010-11-01) The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship among pre-service teachers' mathematics teaching efficacy belief, math anxiety, and mathematical self-concept scores. The analysis was based on 276 elementary pre-service teachers enrolled in teacher education programs in Turkey. The Mathematics Teaching Efficacy Belief Instrument, the Abbreviated Mathematics Anxiety Scale, and the Experience with Mathematics Questionnaire were used as the measuring instruments. Structural equation modeling was u...
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...
An investigation of pre-service elementary mathematics teachers’ views and reflections about elementary mathematics classes based on their observations in school experience courses Doğan, Sümeyra; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2009) The purpose of this study was to investigate the nature of changes in preservice elementary mathematics teachers’ views and reflections about elementary mathematics classes based on their observations in School Experience I and School Experience II courses. Specifically, this study investigated pre-service elementary mathematics teachers’ views and reflections about instruction, assessment, and classroom management issues in elementary mathematics classes based on their observations in School Experience I a...
An investigation of elementary and mathematics teachers’ views about the new elementary school mathematics curriculum Keleş, Özkan; Haser, Çiğdem; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2009) The purpose of this study was to identify and describe elementary and mathematics teachers’ views about the new elementary school mathematics curriculum (NC). A total of 22 elementary teachers (grades 1-5) and mathematics teachers (grades 6-8) Alaca district of Çorum participated. The data were collected through one-to-one interviews with some of the participants and written responses for the interview questions provided by the rest of the participants. The findings indicated that the participants had posit...
The Development of Belief Scale about Using Origami in Mathematics Education Arslan, Okan; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Şahin, Elvan (2013-01-01) This study aims to develop valid and reliable scale in order to measure preservice teachers' beliefs towards using origami in mathematics education. Origami in Mathematics Education Belief Scale which consists of 27 items with 6 point Likert type was administered to 143 preservice elementary mathematics teachers and obtained data was analyzed with exploratory factor analysis. According to analysis results, one item was deleted and some items were revised. After these revisions, the scale consists of 26 item...
