This study aimed to examine prospective teachers' anticipations of students' thinking on the measure of the arc and measure of the central angle, circumference, and area of the circle and to explore the changes in their anticipations as they conduct three lesson study. For this purpose, case study method was used. Three prospective middle school mathematics teachers participated in the study and completed three lesson study. The data were analyzed in terms of three components: the prospective teachers' anticipations of (1) how students' would think; (2) what difficulties they would have; and (3) what powerful ideas they would have. The results showed that lesson study cycles with real classroom experience provided opportunities for the prospective teachers to develop anticipations of students' thinking.

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...
Middle school mathematics teachers’ perceptions of inclusion and their use of teaching strategies in basic arithmetical operations and problems
Gülden, Berna; Akyüz, Didem; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2019)
The aim of this study is to examine the perceptions of middle school mathematics teachers about inclusion and their teaching strategies in basic arithmetical operations and problems. In addition, the other purpose is to investigate opinions of middle school mathematics teachers about touch point, concrete-representational-abstract (CRA) and virtual-representational-abstract (VRA) strategies. The study was carried out in the 2018-2019 academic year in a middle school in Küçükçekmece, Istanbul with six mathem...
Revealing Implicit Knowledge of Pre-Service Mathematics Teachers in Lesson Planning: Knowledge of Infinity
Savuran, Rüya; Işıksal Bostan, Mine (2022-7-01)
The study aims to explore how pre-service mathematics teachers reveal their knowledge of infinity during the lesson planning process in the context of limit. Specifically, we adopted the dimensions of mathematics teachers’ specialized knowledge, which are related to mathematical knowledge and its relation with teaching. We conducted an exploratory case study design in a two-cycle lesson planning process with three senior pre-service mathematics teachers. The findings indicated that in the first planning pro...
Investigating middle school students’ achievement and strategies in proportional reasoning problems
Yılmaz, Gamze Öze; Akyüz, Didem; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2019)
The aims of the study are to specify the academic achievement of the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grade students in proportional reasoning problems, to determine how the academic achievement of these students change according to problem types, to examine their solution strategies in these problems, and to reveal how these strategies diversify from fifth to eighth grade. To collect data in order to achieve these aims, a proportional reasoning test were prepared. The study was designed as a mixed study. I...
Developing reflective teachers : a study on perception and improvement of reflection in pre-service teacher education ping program and testing its effectiveness
Erginel, Senem Şanal; Yıldırım, Ali; Department of Educational Sciences (2006)
This study is a detailed examination of reflection in pre-service teacher education. It focuses on the process of the promotion of reflective teacher education. Within this process, it considers pre-service teachers' perceptions on becoming reflective and their focus of attention throughout their practicum. In relation to these, it analyzes pre-service teachers' improvement in reflection by focusing on various methods of promotion for reflectivity.
