This study aims to present a synthesis of empirical studies conducted in Turkey on pre- and in-service math teachers' knowledge and to recapitulate the existing conceptualization in this particular line of research in the local context. Considering the interwoven and sophisticated nature of teachers' knowledge (Seidel & Shavelson, 2007), it sets out to enhance the understanding on what constitutes and should constitute these math teachers' knowledge by discovering the frequently studied research strands in the literature. To this end, this paper reviews 25 empirical research studies identified through Academic Search Complete, Education Source, ERIC, Humanities International Complete, ULAKBIM, and Google Scholar databases. Thematic analysis revealed two majorly studied strands in the field: (a) studies that identify teachers' knowledge levels in terms of certain mathematical concepts, and (b) studies that try to develop math teachers' knowledge through workshops, courses, and programs particularly designed to reach specific objectives. In addition, majority of research was seen to be carried out with pre-service teachers (N = 21); and qualitative methodology was the most commonly consulted research design (N = 22). With its findings, this study bears the potential to direct future research and contribute to pre-service mathematics teacher education programs and in-service trainings.

A SURVEY OF MATHEMATICS EDUCATION DOCTORAL PROGRAMS IN TURKEY
Ubuz, Behiye; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat (2011-07-15)
This paper aims to review the current state of doctoral programs in mathematics education in Turkish universities. In this context, we first provide some brief background information about higher education system and teacher education policies in Turkey. Then the major national initiatives towards future faculty development efforts are explained. Finally, the nature and components of mathematics education doctoral programs in Turkey is provided. In doing so, we provide information about admission procedures...
Review of Studies Related to Pedagogical Content Knowledge in the Context of Science Teacher Education: Turkish Case
Aydin, Sevgi; Boz, Yezdan (2012-12-01)
As a review study, the present study was carried out in order to introduce PCK construct to researchers and evaluate which aspects of PCK were studied in our country, and, finally, make recommendations in light of the analysis of the studies for further research. For this purpose, ERIC database, YOK (Higher Education Council) database were searched by using "Pedagogical Content Knowledge" as keyword. Moreover, journals published in Turkey and which are possible to be reached electronically were searched usi...
The interaction between middle school mathematics teachers’ beliefs and pedagogical content knowledge regarding rational numbers
Bulut, Aykut; Akyüz, Didem; Haser, Çiğdem; Department of Elementary Education (2021-7)
The aim of this study was to investigate middle school mathematics teachers’ PCK regarding rational numbers and their mathematics-related beliefs, and to understand the nature of the possible interaction between their PCK and beliefs. Data of the study were collected by (i) observation of six middle school mathematics teachers’ lessons about fractions and/or rational numbers content, (ii) two rounds of semi structured interviews, and (iii) vignettes. Data about their PCK were analyzed qualitatively with the...
Investigating perceptions of preservice mathematics teachers on their technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) regarding geometry
Bulut, Aykut; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2012)
The aim of this study is to investigate perceptions of preservice mathematics teachers’ technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) regarding geometry. In addition, the purpose is to examine the relationships among the components of TPACK. Moreover, possible gender and year of enrollment differences related to preservice mathematics teachers’ technological pedagogical content knowledge dimensions are examined. This research study has been conducted with 780 preservice mathematics teachers who are en...
A Comparative analysis of mathematics teacher content knowledge examinations in Turkey and Texas
Yılmaz, Nurbanu; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Çetinkaya, Bülent; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2014)
The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare elementary and secondary mathematics teacher content knowledge examinations in Turkey and Texas. In this study, the examinations were analyzed regarding at which curricular levels each item was, which field of mathematics was included in the item, at which component of cognitive domain the item was, and which domains of mathematics teacher knowledge were included in the items. It is found that the items of the examinations in Turkey mostly included su...
