The purpose of this study is to analyze the complex argumentative structure in undergraduate mathematics classroom conversations by taking into consideration students' and teacher' utterances in the classroom using field-independent Toulmin's theory of argumentation. The analyses contributed to an emerging body of research on classroom conversations.

Argumentation in undergraduate math courses: A study on problem solving
Ubuz, Behiye; Bülbül, Ali (null; 2014-07-01)
The purpose of this study is to analyze the complex argumentative structure in undergraduate mathematics classroom conversations during problem solving by taking into consideration students’ and teacher’ utterances in the classroom using field-independent Toulmin’s theory of argumentation. Analyzing students’ and teacher’ utterances in the class allowed us to reconstruct argumentations evolving in the classroom talk as argumentations in classrooms are generally teacher guided. The analyses contributed to an...

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...
Analysis of analogy use on function concept in the ninth grade mathematics textbook and classrooms
Ünver, Emel; Ubuz, Behiye; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2009)
The primary objective of the current study was to examine how analogies are used on function concept in the ninth grade mathematics textbook and classrooms. Using qualitative research procedure comprising textbook analysis and classroom observations, a picture was developed of how analogies used on function concept in ninth grade mathematics textbook and classrooms. One mathematics textbook, the primary source for observed classes was selected and analyzed for the study. Chapter entitled as “functions” in t...
Mathematical thinking in the classroom on derivative: fostering university students’ mathematical thinking
Kartal, Özde Funda; Ubuz, Behiye; Department of Mathematics and Science Education (2019)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the opportunities provided mathematics students to engage in mathematical thinking during the instruction of derivative concepts and categorize the students’ mathematical thinking on derivative concept through test results and interview. Multiple methods of collecting data were used. A calculus class at a public university in Ankara was observed in spring semester of 2014-2015 academic year. At the end of the semester, the Thinking-about-Derivative test was appli...
