The aim of this study was to examine in-service elementary mathematics teachers’ conceptions of histogram and their difficulties about its teaching process. By using purposeful sampling method, participants were selected as six in-service elementary mathematics teachers teaching at different private or government schools in Ankara. Data was obtained via a semi-structured interview form which was prepared by the researchers. The interviews were conducted individually and recorded with a voice recorder. The results of the study indicated that some teachers did not make reasonable interpretations about the meaning of histogram, the width of the interval, and the number of the groups. In addition, they had problems in their teaching processes because of the mistakes in the eighth grade mathematics teachers’ book, problems encountering students, and out-of-school education factors. Especially, teachers stated that they found inconsistent the explanations about the width of the interval of a histogram in the teachers’ book for eighth grade level.

An Investigation of prospective elementary mathematics teachers' probabilistic misconceptions and reasons underlying these misconceptions
İlgün, Münevver; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2013)
The purpose of this study was to determine performance of prospective elementary mathematics teachers on answering the items handling the probabilistic misconceptions. The other aim was to investigate the underlying reasons behind these misconceptions of prospective elementary mathematics teachers. To address these aims, qualitative approach was performed. The sample of this study was obtained through convenience sampling. Data were gathered during 2011-2012 spring semester by administering Probability Misc...
Pre-service elementary mathematics teachers' knowledge about definitions of integers and their knowledge about elementary students' possible misconceptions and errors in describing integers
Kubar, Ayşenur; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2012)
The aim of the study is to examine the nature of pre-service elementary mathematics teachers’ subject matter knowledge about definition of integers and the nature of pre-service elementary mathematics teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge about definitions of integers. For this purpose, pre-service mathematics teachers’ knowledge about definitions of integers, their interpretations of quoted definitions of integers, their knowledge about elementary students’ possible misconceptions and errors regarding de...
Pre-service middle school mathematics teachers’ understanding of quadrilaterals through the definitions and their relationships
Öztoprakçı, Seçil; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Department of Elementary Education (2014)
The purpose of this study was to examine pre-service mathematics teachers’ cognitive progress in constructing and evaluating quadrilateral definitions and the corresponding quadrilateral hierarchies under the support of the Geometer’s Sketchpad learning activities. The study employed qualitative case study design of which data was collected from 5 pre-service middle school mathematics teachers during the spring semester of 2010-2011. The main data came from one-to-one clinical interview sessions assisted wi...
A Study on inservice teachers' attitudes toward and beliefs about mathematical problem solving
Çokçalışkan, Hasan; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2012)
The main purpose of this study was to investigate elementary teachers’ and elementary mathematics teachers’ attitudes toward and beliefs about mathematical problem solving in terms of gender and grade level being taught. Moreover, the relationship between elementary teachers’ and elementary mathematics teachers’ attitudes and beliefs was evaluated in this study. The data were collected from 141 in-service elementary teachers who are teaching 4th and 5th graders and elementary mathematics teachers who are te...
Pre-service elementary mathematics teachers’ conception of derivative from commognition perspective
Yiğitcan Nayir, Özge; Bulut, Safure; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2013)
The purposes of this study were to investigate pre-service elementary mathematics teachers’ discourse on derivative in group, classroom and individual discussions and determine their conception of derivative. In order to examine pre-service teachers’ discourse on derivative communicational approach to cognition (commognition) was applied. Pre-service teachers’ words and their uses, visual mediators, narratives and routines were analyzed. This study was designed as a qualitative study. Data were collected fr...
