As a part of larger research on pre-service teachers mathematical modeling abilities, this study investigates pre-service teachers' representational fluency, and its effect on modeling process in one modeling activity, that of cassette problem. The data is collected by students' individual and group written responses to the mathematical modeling activity, video-taped group discussions and classroom observation by the researcher. This study is conducted during the spring semester in 2007 and thirty three pre-service teachers were the participants of the study. The data showed that pre-service teachers have difficulty in transition between different modes of mathematical representations and this difficulty has an influence on modeling process.

INVESTIGATING PLANE GEOMETRY PROBLEM-SOLVING STRATEGIES OF PROSPECTIVE MATHEMATICS TEACHERS IN TECHNOLOGY AND PAPER-AND-PENCIL ENVIRONMENTS Koyuncu, Ilhan; Akyüz, Didem; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2015-08-01) This study aims to investigate plane geometry problem-solving strategies of prospective mathematics teachers using dynamic geometry software (DGS) and paper-and-pencil (PPB) environments after receiving an instruction with GeoGebra (GGB). Four plane geometry problems were used in a multiple case study design to understand the solution strategies developed by 2 prospective teachers. The results revealed that although the participants mostly used algebraic solutions in the PPB environment, they preferred geom...
Understanding Prospective Teachers' Mathematical Modeling Processes in the Context of a Mathematical Modeling Course Sen Zeytun, Aysel; Çetinkaya, Bülent; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat (2017-03-01) This paper investigates how prospective teachers develop mathematical models while they engage in modeling tasks. The study was conducted in an undergraduate elective course aiming to improve prospective teachers' mathematical modeling abilities, while enhancing their pedagogical knowledge for the integrating of modeling tasks into their future classroom practices. The participants of this study were six prospective teachers selected among the nineteen who enrolled in the course. Data was collected through ...
Pre-service secondary mathematics teachers' anticipation and identification of students' thinking in the context of modelling problems* Kabar, Makbule Gozde Didis; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat (Informa UK Limited, 2019-09-26) This study investigated pre-service secondary mathematics teachers' (PSMTs') anticipation and identification of students' thinking as they engaged in examining and analyzing student work on four modelling problems. The study comprised four two-week-long cycles. The data were collected through individual reflection papers and written group reports on students' ways of thinking from 25 PSMTs enrolled in a semester-long (15-week) elective course. Data analysis focused on the PSMTs' anticipation and identificat...
Investigating Effect of Origami-Based Instruction on Elementary Students' Spatial Skills and Perceptions Cakmak, Sedanur; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; KOÇ, YUSUF (Informa UK Limited, 2014-01-02) The authors' purpose was to investigate the effect of origami-based instruction on elementary students' spatial ability. The students' self-reported perceptions related to the origami-based instruction were also examined. Data was collected via purposive sampling techniques from students enrolled in a private elementary school. A spatial ability test (SAT) was used to measure the students' ability in mentally manipulating objects and their parts in 2- and 3-dimensional spaces. In addition to the SAT, reflec...
Exploring prospective teachers' noticing of students' understanding through micro-case videos ULUSOY, FADİME; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-03-18) This paper explores the nature of prospective teachers' noticing of students' understanding as they analyze and discuss middle school students' understandings of trapezoids in micro-case videos in the context of geometry. In this exploratory study, the data were obtained from eight prospective middle school mathematics teachers through individual video analysis, reflection papers, and group discussions. The results indicated that the use of purposeful micro-case video designs based on prospective teachers' ...
