MATHEMATICS TEACHER EDUCATION IN TURKEY
Ubuz, Behiye (2011-07-15)
In this paper, current situation of the mathematics teacher training programs will be discussed. After a brief discussion of the history of mathematics teacher education programs and policies in Turkey, the structure of the Turkish school system will be outlined and the teacher training programs for mathematics teachers who teach at different levels in the school system will be discussed in detail.
Mathematics teachers' knowledge and skills about questioning in the context of modeling activities
Yenmez, Arzu Aydogan; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Çetinkaya, Bülent; Alacacı, Cengiz (2018-01-01)
Asking effective questions has been considered to be one of the most important indicators of good teaching since questioning is an important instructional tool and the ability to ask effective questions requires sophisticated pedagogical reasoning. Teachers can facilitate students' higher-level thinking through effective questions. However, teachers' utilization of effective and higher-level questions is usually limited in traditional settings. The goal of this study is to investigate how secondary mathemat...
MATHEMATICAL TASKS TO PROMOTE STUDENT LEARNING
BAYAZIT, Ibrahim; Ubuz, Behiye; Aksoy, Yilmaz (2009-07-24)
This paper examines teachers' selection and resolution of function problems and relates this to their students' understanding of the concept. Focusing on the way in which tasks are presented and resolved, the paper indicates that the models teachers present to students to obtain solutions may lead to two contrasting outcomes. On one hand the teacher's emphasis may confine the students to a limited way of thinking about the core ideas and contribute towards misconceptions. In contrast, a model that emphasize...
MATHEMATICS ANXIETY AND MATHEMATICAL SELF-CONCEPT: CONSIDERATIONS IN PREPARING ELEMENTARY-SCHOOL TEACHERS
Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Koc, Yusuf; Aşkun, Cengiz Savaş (Scientific Journal Publishers Ltd, 2009-01-01)
The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of type of educational system and years spent in teacher education programs on preservice teachers' mathematics anxiety and mathematical self-concept scores. The sample consisted of 234 American and 276 Turkish early childhood and elementary school preservice teachers. The Abbreviated Mathematics Anxiety Scale (AMAS; Hopko, 2003) was used to measure how anxious preservice teachers feel during a specific mathematics related event. In order to measure the m...
Mathematics teachers' covariational reasoning levels and predictions about students' covariational reasoning abilities
Şen Zeytun, Aysel; Çetinkaya, Bülent; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat (2010-06-01)
Various studies suggest that covariational reasoning plays an important role on understanding the fundamental ideas of calculus and modeling dynamic functional events. The purpose of this study was to investigate a group of mathematics teachers' covariational reasoning abilities and predictions about their students. Data were collected through interviews conducted with five secondary mathematics teachers to reveal about their covariational reasoning abilities as they worked through a model-eliciting activit...
