The connection between science and mathematics is undeniable but also a complex phenomenon. The present study aimed to examine types of questions in science exam papers in 7th grade "force and motion" unit and the consistency between questions and objectives in this unit. The study also aimed to determine if there are questions related to mathematics. If yes, which mathematics subjects they are related with. Document analysis was used for data collection. 19 exam papers prepared by different science teachers were collected and examined. Findings revealed that science teachers mainly used multiple choice questions and their questions included mathematical knowledge. (C) 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

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...
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...
Shape-invariance approach and Hamiltonian hierarchy method on the Woods-Saxon potential for l not equal 0 states Berkdemir, Cueneyt; BERKDEMİR, Ayşe; Sever, Ramazan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-03-01) An analytically solvable Woods-Saxon potential for l not equal 0 states is presented within the framework of Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics formalism. The shape-invariance approach and Hamiltonian hierarchy method are included in calculations by means of a translation of parameters. The approximate energy spectrum of this potential is obtained for l not equal 0 states, applying the Woods-Saxon square approximation to the centrifugal barrier term of the Schrodinger equation.
Investigation of pre-service mathematics teachers' critical thinking processes through stattistical and probabilistic knowledge in the context of popular media texts Özen, Mehtap; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2013) The aim of the study is to investigate pre-service middle school mathematics teachers’ critical thinking processes through statistical and probabilistic knowledge in the context of popular media texts. The study was conducted with a qualitative case study method. Participants of the study consisted of four senior pre-service middle school mathematics teachers enrolled in a public university. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the participants. Analysis of the data was conducted on the basi...
Quantum Information Approach to Correlations in Many-body Systems Aksak, Çağan; Turgut, Sadi; Department of Physics (2022-9-21) Quantum correlations are crucial features in both quantum information theory and many-body physics. Characterization and quantification of quantum correlations have delivered a rich body of work and helped to understand some quantum phenomena. Entanglement is a unique quantum correlation for which it is a resource in many quantum information tasks. Developed for quantification of entanglement, entanglement witness formalism is a remarkable tool in the quantum information toolkit. It can be deployed beyond t...
