Preservice teachers’ use of representations and visual-spatial abilities in problem solving
Olgun, Beyza (null; 2017-09-02)
This study aimed to investigate preservice teachers’ use of representations, visual-spatial abilities, and their relationships with word problem solving performances. The sample of the study consisted of 113 preservice mathematics teachers in a private and four public universities. The results showed that there was no significant relationship between problem solving performance and visual-spatial abilities. Preservice teachers’ visual-spatial abilities only had a weak relationship with use of schematic repr...
Preservice Science Teachers' Beliefs about Application of Science Process Skills: A Case Study
Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül (2012-04-01)
The purpose of this study was to investigate preservice science teachers' (PSTs) beliefs about scientific process skills (SPS) and application of SPS during microteaching session. A case study approach was used. Participants were elementary PSTs enrolled in the practice teaching in elementary education course. Findings revealed that PSTs were not proficient in teaching SPS to students, however, their beliefs about SPS were found as satisfactory. After examining 200 lesson plans, it was observed that 77 of t...
Preservice Science Teachers’ Informal Reasoning Regarding Socioscientific Issues and the Factors Influencing Their Informal Reasoning
Topçu, Mustafa Sami; Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül; Sadler, Tory D. (2009-04-17)
The aim of this study was to explore Preservice Science Teachers’ (PSTs) informal reasoning and the factors influencing their informal reasoning. Constant comparative method (Glaser & Strauss, 1967) and seven socioscientific issues (SSI) were used to explore informal reasoning and influencing factors. Three SSI dealt with gene therapy and the other three issues dealt with cloning. The last issue dealt with global warming. Two interview protocols were used in the present study. Informal Reasoning Inte...
Preservice science teachers’ informal reasoning regarding socioscientific issues and the factors influencing their informal reasoning
Topçu, Mustafa Sami; Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül; Department of Educational Sciences (2008)
The main purpose of this study was to explore Preservice Science Teachers’ (PSTs) informal reasoning regarding socioscientific issues (SSI). The study first investigated PSTs’ informal reasoning patterns; second, explored the relationship between informal reasoning patterns and quality; third, examined the variation of informal reasoning quality with SSI; at last, focused on the factors influencing PSTs’ informal reasoning in the context of SSI. Totally, 39 PSTs voluntarily participated in the study. Senior...
Preservice Mathematics Teachers’ Types of Mathematical Thinking: Use of Representations, Visual-Spatial Abilities and Problem Solving Performances
Olgun, Beyza (null; 2017-02-05)
The main purpose of this study was to examine preservice mathematics teachers’ types of mathematical thinking and to investigate whether there are any differences between different types of thinkers based on their problem solving performances, use of representations and visual-spatial abilities. The sample of the study consisted of 113 preservice mathematics teachers in a private and four public universities. The results showed that although problem solving performances were similar for each type of mathema...
