The purpose of this study is to explore how a mathematics teacher contributed to a classroom design research and how this contribution promoted student learning and the establishment of students’ mathematical practices of linking composite units and iterating linked composites, which is the basis for proportional reasoning. In this classroom design research study, a classroom learning trajectory and related instructional sequence were formulated based on the theory of Realistic Mathematics Education and implemented by the teacher. Findings showed that the teacher contributed to the design research in each phase, and her contributions promoted students’ mathematical practices regarding linking composite units and iterating composite units.

The purpose of this study was to explore an elementary mathematics teacher’s pedagogical reasoning on selection of learning activities. For this purpose, a teacher’s decisions and judgments while selecting activities for her mathematics lessons were examined. Qualitative case study was performed where; data was collected in the spring semester of 2008-2009 and in the fall semester of 2009-2010 academic year. The case of the study was a teacher who was known by using activities in her mathematics lessons. Re...
Prospective Teachers' Noticing with respect to the Student Roles underlined in the Elementary Mathematics Program: Use of VideoCases
Osmanoğlu, Aslıhan; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Koç, Yusuf (2012-07-01)
The purpose of this qualitative case study was to examine what prospective mathematics teachers noticed with respect to the student roles underlined in the elementary mathematics program when video-case based pedagogy was employed in teacher education. The theoretical framework employed in this study was Learning to Notice framework developed by van Es and Sherin (2002). The data was collected through reflection papers and interviews from 15 senior prospective teachers enrolled at a large state university. ...

Ünver, Emel; Ubuz, Behiye; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2009)
The primary objective of the current study was to examine how analogies are used on function concept in the ninth grade mathematics textbook and classrooms. Using qualitative research procedure comprising textbook analysis and classroom observations, a picture was developed of how analogies used on function concept in ninth grade mathematics textbook and classrooms. One mathematics textbook, the primary source for observed classes was selected and analyzed for the study. Chapter entitled as “functions” in t...
Öğrenme rotaları temelli öğretimde öğretmen adaylarının matematiksel alan bilgilerini yeniden yapılandırmaları
Yılmaz, Zuhal; Haser, Çiğdem (2018-01-01)
Çalışmanın amacı sınıf öğretmeni adaylarının eşpaylaşım konusu ile ilgili matematiksel alan bilgilerini (MAB) öğrenme rotaları temelli bir öğretim ortamında nasıl yeniden yapılandırdıklarını incelemektir. Bu bağlamda dokuz öğretmen adayı ile bir öğretim deneyi eşpaylaşım öğrenme rotası kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmanın bulguları, adayların mevcut kavram yanılgı ve hatalarını düzelttiklerini ve bu yanılgı ve hataların altında yatan sebepleri açığa çıkardıklarını ortaya koymaktadır. Aynı zamanda, ...
Use of learning trajectories based instruction to restructure pre-service elementary teachers’ mathematical content and student knowledge
Yılmaz, Zuhal; Haser, Çiğdem; Department of Elementary Education (2015)
The purpose of this study was to explore elementary pre-service teachers’ (PTs) mathematical content knowledge (MCK) and student knowledge (SK) restructuring practices for equipartitioning related mathematical ideas. Nine senior PTs from a private university located southeastern part of the Turkey were voluntarily participated to Learning Trajectories Based Instruction (LTBI) teaching experiment. Classroom video data, written works of PTs, pre-post tests and field notes were the main sources of the data col...
