The aim of this study is to analyze the knowledge on graphics within middle school mathematics from an anthropological perspective. The study, which was carried out in framework of the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic, conducted a document analysis with the purpose of determining the institutional qualities of middle school mathematics. In this context, the study examined a variety of documents including mathematics curriculums that are used in Elementary Mathematics Special Teaching Methods institutions in addition to middle school mathematics course books, books on mathematics instruction, and the notes taken by faculty members. The data that were obtained from document analysis were analyzed with ecological and praxeological approaches. Based on the ecological approach, the study identified the qualities of institutional recognition by revealing the habitat and function (niche) of the graphic knowledge in its institution, while the praxeological approach revealed the mathematical organizations consisting the types of graphic-related tasks in the institution, techniques, the technologies that explain the technique, and the theories which explain and defend the necessity of the technology. The study concluded that the use of graphics as a goal, a tool, and both as goal and tool the institution was addressed to the instruction of subjects (ratio and proportion, percentage, curves, equations and inequalities, equation systems, functions, statistics, and probability) in numbers and operations, algebra and data processing learning fields, for the improvement of mathematics literacy, problem-solving, communication, association, and psycho-motor skills. The research institution employed three mathematical organizations (graphic reading and interpretation, graphic creating, making appropriate conversions between graphics) including 11 types of tasks in total.

Anthropological analysis of content knowledge of pre-service elementary mathematics teachers on graphs
DİKKARTIN ÖVEZ, FİLİZ TUBA; Akar, Nazlı (2018-02-01)
The purpose of this study is to analyse the content knowledge on graphs of pre-service elementary mathematics teachers from an anthropological perspective. 112 pre-service elementary mathematics teachers participated in the study. Concentric mixed pattern research method has been used in the study. The data was collected through Graphic Content Knowledge Scale and interview method in order to examine the content knowledge of primary school math teacher candidates related to graphics anthropologically. This ...
Exploring the Effects of Science Writing Heuristic Approach on 8th Grade Students Metacognition
Tucel, Tuğçe; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Öztekin, Ceren (2015-09-04)
The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of Science Writing Heuristic (SWH) approach on middle school students' metacognition. For this purpose, a quasi-experimental research design, the non-equivalent control group post-test only design was used with the aim to compare the experimental and the comparison groups mean difference with respect to dependent variables. 60 eight grade students with a mean age of 14 years in two classes selected from one public school in an urban area. One class was ra...
An investigation of prospective middle school mathematics teachers' argumentation, proof, and geometric construction processes in the context of cognitive unity
Demiray, Esr; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Department of Elementary Education (2019)
The first purpose of this study is to investigate how prospective middle school mathematics teachers’ argumentation process while producing conjectures in the cognitive unity based activities relates to the proving process of conjectures they produced. The second purpose is to examine the global argumentation structures emerged while producing conjectures, the components of argumentation, and the functions of the rebuttal component. The third purpose is to investigate the approaches offered to perform geome...
An Investigation of 7th grade students’ statistical literacy about the concepts of average and variation on bar and line graphs
Çatman Aksoy, Emine; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2018)
The aim of the present study was to analyze statistical literacy of seventh grade students on the concepts of “average” and “variation” on bar and line graphs related to the data obtained from social or scientific contexts. More specifically, seventh grade students’ statistical literacy levels in terms of the concepts of “average” and “variation” on bar and line graphs related to the data obtained from social or scientific contexts were determined and how students at different statistical literacy levels de...
Investigating perceptions of preservice mathematics teachers on their technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) regarding geometry
Bulut, Aykut; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2012)
The aim of this study is to investigate perceptions of preservice mathematics teachers’ technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) regarding geometry. In addition, the purpose is to examine the relationships among the components of TPACK. Moreover, possible gender and year of enrollment differences related to preservice mathematics teachers’ technological pedagogical content knowledge dimensions are examined. This research study has been conducted with 780 preservice mathematics teachers who are en...
