The purpose of this study was to investigate the nature of changes in pre-service mathematics teachers’ views and reflections about instructional issues in elementary mathematics classes as they progress in teacher education program. For this aim, 19 preservice mathematics teachers, making their observations in their cooperating schools for 3 months, wrote and submitted their reports. The reports were analyzed via content analysis. The results indicated that although there was commonality in the views and reflections of pre-service mathematics teachers’ about instructional issues in elementary mathematics classes, there were differences in their knowledge in the way they perceive instruction as they progressed through their education

A Study on inservice teachers' attitudes toward and beliefs about mathematical problem solving Çokçalışkan, Hasan; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2012) The main purpose of this study was to investigate elementary teachers’ and elementary mathematics teachers’ attitudes toward and beliefs about mathematical problem solving in terms of gender and grade level being taught. Moreover, the relationship between elementary teachers’ and elementary mathematics teachers’ attitudes and beliefs was evaluated in this study. The data were collected from 141 in-service elementary teachers who are teaching 4th and 5th graders and elementary mathematics teachers who are te...
Exploring secondary mathematics teachers’ conceptions of mathematical literacy Genç, Murat; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2017) The purpose of this research study was to investigate secondary mathematics teachers’ conceptions of mathematical literacy. In doing so, the following three crucial interrelated issues were addressed: (i) teachers’ conceptions of what the notion of mathematical literacy means, (ii) teachers’ conceptions of how the development of mathematical literacy could be facilitated, and (iii) teachers’ conceptions of what a mathematics curriculum emphasizing mathematical literacy should look like. The data gathered fo...
An Investigation of prospective elementary mathematics teachers' probabilistic misconceptions and reasons underlying these misconceptions İlgün, Münevver; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2013) The purpose of this study was to determine performance of prospective elementary mathematics teachers on answering the items handling the probabilistic misconceptions. The other aim was to investigate the underlying reasons behind these misconceptions of prospective elementary mathematics teachers. To address these aims, qualitative approach was performed. The sample of this study was obtained through convenience sampling. Data were gathered during 2011-2012 spring semester by administering Probability Misc...
An investigation of mathematics achievement of eighth grade students with respect to their learning styles Kurbal, Serkan Süleyman; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Department of Educational Sciences (2011) This study aimed to investigate the differences in mathematics achievement scores of the eighth grade students with respect to their learning styles. Mathematics achievements of the eighth grade students were determined by the number of correct answers given in the mathematics subtest of Level Determination Examination (abbreviated in Turkish as SBS) which was administered in June 2009. Mathematics achievements of the eighth grade students were also determined by teacher-assigned mathematics grades which we...
An Analysis of prospective middle school mathematics teachers‘ argumentation structures in technology and paper-pencil environments Erkek, Özlem; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Department of Elementary Education (2017) The purpose of the current study was to investigate the nature of argumentation structures of prospective middle school mathematics teachers while solving geometry tasks within the GeoGebra and Paper-Pencil groups. The study employed qualitative case study design and the data of which were collected from 16 prospective middle school mathematics teachers during the fall semester of the 2013-2014 academic year. Data were based on the video recordings of the implementations, the focus group interviews and docu...
