The ability to integrate technology into instruction is among the characteristics of a competent mathematics teacher. Research indicates that the vast majority of teachers in Turkey believe the use of computers in education is important, but have limited knowledge and experience on how to use technology in their instruction. This paper describes the T-Math project (http://www.t-math.org), which adapted the InterMath (http://intermath.coe.uga.edu) knowledge base for mathematics teachers in the United States and developed relevant resources for professional development of Turkish mathematics teachers to guide them in constructing useful strategies for their students while developing as expert mathematics teachers. Examples of mathematical investigations adopted and developed in the T-Math project are presented as well as the anticipated challenges and subsequent strategies for integration.

Pre-service elementary mathematics teachers’ views about using graphing calculators in elementary school algebra: the case of using Classpad Kaplan, Merve; Çetinkaya, Bülent; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2011) Mathematics education could and should benefit from technology in order to improve teaching and learning, particularly in topics where visualizations and connections to other concepts are needed. Handheld technologies such as graphing calculators can provide students with visualization, confirmation and exploration of problems and concepts they are learning. Handheld graphing technologies have been taken place widely in elementary and secondary level mathematics courses and considered to be beneficial in va...
Professional development practices of English language teachers: A synthesis of studies published between 2006 and 2020 Tasdemir, Hanife; Karaman, Abdullah Cendel (2022-04-01) Being able to address learners' constantly evolving needs requires teachers to keep expanding their knowledge in their respective fields and actively engage in professional development practices. This qualitative meta-synthesis, therefore, aimed to investigate the research studies published between 2006 and 2020 with respect to in-service English language teachers' professional development. In addition to reporting descriptive information of the studies. this synthesis study highlighted directions of resear...
Multimedia Design and Development Çağıltay, Kürşat(2009) This course is designed to provide students with advanced information, necessary skills and expertise to develop instructional systems with the help of technology. The course underlines major steps, processes and techniques in analysis, design, development and evaluation of instructional systems. In addition to learning the process and principles of instructional design, this course also focuses on helping students learn how to work best as a team member within the design process. It is aimed to provide stu...
Mathematical practices of teachers in technology-enhanced classrooms: A case of teaching slope concept Yemen Karpuzcu, Seçil; Işıksal Bostan, Mine (2019-12-18) While it is obvious that teachers need to have mathematical knowledge under different domains, few studies put forward teaching practices associating them with teacher moves in the background of the mathematical knowledge used in teaching in a technology enhanced classroom environment. Moreover, characterizing those practices can show a practical understanding of the knowledge for its usefulness in teaching in which tools and dynamic technologies are deemed necessary. In this study, we examined the characte...
Putting technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (TPACK) in action: An integrated TPACK-design-based learning (DBL) approach Baran, Evrim; Uygun, Erdem (2016-01-01) Design-based learning (DBL) has been considered a useful approach in teacher education because of its emphasis on the investigation of technology integration problems in design processes. Despite recent interest in understanding how technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (TPACK) translates to action, limited research exists on how TPACK is developed within DBL contexts and what principles of DBL can be applied to TPACK development. To address these critical gaps in the literature, an approach was...
