According to the principles of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics [NCTM, 2000], teaching mathematics needs well equipped teachers in terms of knowledge because of its complex structure. Moreover, teachers’ knowledge and technology are an important issue to build up and enhance students’ learning. Qualified teachers should know how and why students learn, and how to organize and teach their lessons. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine pre-service elementary mathematics teachers’ perceptions of technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) regarding geometry. The relationships among the components of TPACK and the possible gender and year of enrollment differences related to TPACK components were also examined. In order to collect data, a questionnaire was developed taking into consideration many related studies from the literature. Pre-service elementary mathematics teachers’ perceptions of TPACK related to geometry were found to be moderate. In addition, significant correlations between the components of the TPACK framework were detected via correlational analysis. In terms of gender, results revealed that male pre-service teachers had higher scores than females in three components of TPACK, namely technological pedagogical knowledge, technological knowledge, and technological pedagogical content knowledge. The comparison of junior and senior students revealed that although the difference is not significant, senior participants seem to be more competent than junior participants in TPACK dimensions.

Relationships between Foreign Language Teachers' Cognitions and Actions: Evidence from Instructors at Tertiary-level Öztürk, Mustafa; Yıldırım, Ali (2019-01-01) Teacher cognition and teacher action are two interrelated concepts of teaching and thus ought to be studied together in-depth to understand the nature of teaching and its effect on educational achievement. Examining the relationship between language teachers' cognitions and their actions has the potential to inform and guide current and future instructional practices in language teaching settings. From this point forth, this correlational study aims to answer in what way language teachers' language learning...

Perceptions of beginning teachers on pre service teacher preparation in Turkey Öztürk, Mustafa; Yıldırım, Ali (2014-01-01) The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceptions of beginning teachers on preservice teacher education. Through a survey, 465 beginning teachers working in randomly selected provinces of Turkey assessed the benefits of their pre-service programs. For data analysis, descriptive and inferential statistics were used. The results of the study indicated that the participant teachers’ perceptions on their pre-service trainings were not positive and that these perceptions changed significantly by the ty...
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...
Investigating Sources of Pre Service Teachers Self Efficacy For Preparing And Implementing Mathematical Tasks YÜREKLİ, BİLGE; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç (2015-02-04) The goal of this study was to understand pre-service teachers' self-efficacy beliefs for preparing and implementing mathematical tasks and to explore which sources of self-efficacy they wighted and interpreted when judging their capabilities as a result of attending a mathematics teaching methods course designed with a focus on mathematics teaching through tasks. Nine pre-service teachers participated in this study and they were interviewed at the end of the methods course. Findings revealed that methods co...
