Middle School Students' Reasoning in Nonlinear Proportional Problems in Geometry
AYAN, RUKİYE; Işıksal Bostan, Mine (2018-02-01)
In this study, we investigate sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students' achievement in nonlinear (quadratic or cubic) proportional problems regarding length, area, and volume of enlarged figures. In addition, we examine students' solution strategies for the problems and obstacles that prevent students from answering the problems correctly by using a mixed method research design. A total of 935 middle school students were given a paper-pencil test and 12 of them were interviewed. Findings indicated that ach...
Middle school students’ quantitative reasoning in pictorial, symbolic and iconographic problems
Uyguç, Ayşenur; Sevinç, Şerife; Department of Mathematics Education (2023-1)
The aim of this study was to examine middle school students’ (5th–8th grade) quantitative reasoning in early algebra problems given in pictorial, symbolic, and iconographic forms and involved single-unit and multiple-unit substitutions. The study was carried out with a total of 60 students studying in two public middle schools in the town of Şarkışla, Sivas, in October of the 2021-2022 academic year. Participants were determined by the purposeful and convenience sampling method. In this study, a multiple ca...
Middle school students' proportional reasoning in real life contexts in the domain of geometry and measurement
Ayan Civak, Rukiye; IŞIKSAL BOSTAN, MİNE (2019-01-01)
The purpose of this study was to examine middle school students' proportional reasoning, solution strategies and difficulties in real life contexts in the domain of geometry and measurement. The underlying reasons of the difficulties were investigated as well. Mixed research design was adopted for the aims of the study by collecting data through an achievement test from 935 sixth, seventh and eighth grade students. The achievement test included real life problems that required proportional reasoning, and we...
MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS’ MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT ASTRONOMY CONCEPTS AND THEIR ATTITUDES TOWARDS ASTRONOMY
Yıldız Tezer, Ayşe; Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül; Department of Science Education (2022-2-10)
In this study, 6th and 7th grade middle school students’ misconceptions about astronomy concepts and their attitudes towards astronomy were investigated. Moreover, the relationships between students’ misconceptions about astronomy concepts and their attitudes towards astronomy and differences in gender, grade level, interest in astronomy, and future occupation in terms of misconceptions about astronomy concepts and attitudes towards astronomy were investigated. The sample consisted of 360 6th grade and 348 ...
