The purpose of the study is to examine the extent to which middle-grade students agree on statements about the ordering of two negative integers given within a real-life context, and what kind of procedural and conceptual strategies they generate to order those numbers. Data is collected through a questionnaire including two statements about ordering integers from fifty-seven middle-grade level students in a public school. The results show that even though students agreed with both of the statements, they did not explain the concept of ordering in daily life with regard to conceptual meanings and that they have problems in their procedural knowledge repertoire.

The influence of the context of conditional probability problems on probabilistic thinking: A case study with teacher candidates
Olgun, Beyza; Işıksal Bostan, Mine (2019-12-21)
This study investigates the influence of the context of conditional probability problems on probabilistic thinking processes of mathematics teacher candidates. Data were collected from four mathematics teacher candidates through semi-structured clinical interviews. Teacher candidates were expected to solve and explain three conditional probability problems, which were selected based on specific contexts. The findings revealed that, when the context is related to a social issue such as health or justice, tha...
A multilevel structural model of mathematical thinking in derivative concept
Özdil, Utkun; Ubuz, Behiye; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2012)
The purpose of the study was threefold: (1) to determine the factor structure of mathematical thinking at the within-classroom and at the between-classroom level; (2) to investigate the extent of variation in the relationships among different mathematical thinking constructs at the within- and between-classroom levels; and (3) to examine the cross-level interactions among different types of mathematical thinking. Previous research was extended by investigating the factor structure of mathematical thinking i...
Optimal multiple hypothesis testing with an application in side lobe blanker design and invariance applications in detection and synchronization
Coşkun, Osman; Candan, Çağatay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017)
This thesis aims to study two problems, namely optimal hypothesis testing in the sense of Neyman-Pearson in the presence of multiple hypotheses and optimal hypothesis testing in the presence of non-random unknown parameters (nuisance parameters). Both problems occur frequently in different applications and their optimal solution involves some fine details. In the first part of the thesis, the multiple hypothesis testing problem is examined and the results are applied on the problem of radar sidelobe blanker...

An Approach for determining process economy parameters of multivariate loss functions
Özkan, Gökçe; Köksal, Gülser; Department of Industrial Engineering (2016)
The aim of this study is to provide an effective method for determining parameters of multivariate loss functions, which are related with process economics. The loss functions are widely used in product and process design and other quality engineering applications. Although there are several studies about different types of loss functions, there is a lack of studies on determining cost matrix parameters of these functions. For this purpose, we propose a method based on multi-objective decision making tools....
