The purpose of this study is to analyze the complex argumentative structure in undergraduate mathematics classroom conversations during problem solving by taking into consideration students’ and teacher’ utterances in the classroom using field-independent Toulmin’s theory of argumentation. Analyzing students’ and teacher’ utterances in the class allowed us to reconstruct argumentations evolving in the classroom talk as argumentations in classrooms are generally teacher guided. The analyses contributed to an emerging body of research on classroom conversations.

ARGUMENTATION IN UNDERGRADUATE MATH COURSES : A STUDY ON PROOF GENERATION Ubuz, Behiye; BÜLBÜL, ALİ (2012-07-22) The purpose of this study is to analyze the complex argumentative structure in undergraduate mathematics classroom conversations by taking into consideration students' and teacher' utterances in the classroom using field-independent Toulmin's theory of argumentation. The analyses contributed to an emerging body of research on classroom conversations.
Argumentation in undergraduate math courses A study on definition construction Ubuz, Behiye; Bülbül, Ali (null; 2013-07-01) The purpose of this study is to analyzethe complex argumentative structure in undergraduate mathematics classroom conversations during definition construction by taking into consideration students’ and teacher’ utterances in the classroom using field-independent Toulmin’s theory of argumentation .

Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching the Function Concept and Student Learning Outcomes Hatisaru, Vesife; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-04-01) The purpose of this study was to examine the potential interrelationships between teachers' mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT) the function concept and their students' learning outcomes of this concept. Data were collected from two teachers teaching in a vocational high school and their students through a function concept test for teachers and students, follow-up interviews with teachers, and classroom observations. Findings indicated that teachers' MKT and students' learning outcomes were related to...
Preservice mathematics teachers' types of mathematical thinking: Use of representations, visual-spatial abilities, and problem solving performances Olgun, Beyza (2017-01-01) The main purpose of this study was to examine preservice mathematics teachers' types of mathematical thinking and to investigate whether there are any differences between different types of thinkers based on their problem solving performances, use of representations and visual-spatial abilities. The sample of the study consisted of 113 preservice mathematics teachers in a private and four public universities. The results showed that although problem solving performances were similar for each type of mathema...
Mathematical thinking in the classroom on derivative: fostering university students’ mathematical thinking Kartal, Özde Funda; Ubuz, Behiye; Department of Mathematics and Science Education (2019) The purpose of this study was to investigate the opportunities provided mathematics students to engage in mathematical thinking during the instruction of derivative concepts and categorize the students’ mathematical thinking on derivative concept through test results and interview. Multiple methods of collecting data were used. A calculus class at a public university in Ankara was observed in spring semester of 2014-2015 academic year. At the end of the semester, the Thinking-about-Derivative test was appli...
