The purpose of this study is to investigate teachers’ beliefs about mathematical problem solving. In this study, phenomenology was used to gain an insight about the elementary classroom teachers’ beliefs about mathematical problem solving. To collect data, interviews were conducted with ten elementary teachers. The data were analyzed through content analysis. According to analysis, the nature of mathematical problem solving, the importance of mathematical problem solving, problem solving process in classroom environment, problem solving ability, teaching the correct procedure to solve problems, several ways of solving a problem, the importance of understanding, and the importance of problem posing are eight themes of the study.

A study on preservice elementary mathematics teachers' mathematical problem solving beliefs
Kayan, Fatma; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2007)
This study analyzes the kinds of beliefs pre-service elementary mathematics teachers hold about mathematical problem solving, and investigates whether, or not, gender and university attended have any significant effect on their problem solving beliefs. The sample of the present study consisted of 244 senior undergraduate students studying in Elementary Mathematics Teacher Education programs at 5 different universities located in Ankara, Bolu, and Samsun. Data were collected in spring semester of 2005-2006 a...
The effect of instruction with analogy-enhanced model on ninth grade students' function achievement and attitudes toward mathematics
Akman, Caner; Bulut, Safure; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2005)
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of analogy-enhanced instruction on students̕ achievement in function and attitudes toward mathematics. The study was conducted with 63 ninth grade students in one of the public high schools in Konya, Turkey during Spring 2005 semester. The experimental group received instruction with analogy-enhanced model. The control group received instruction with traditional method. The matching-only pre-test- post-test control group design was used in the study. The fo...
