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 mathematical thinking, preservice teachers who adopted harmonic and geometric types of mathematical thinking preferred to use schematic representations more than analytic thinkers in their problem solving processes. The findings provided an insight about preservice teachers' preferences for a visual approach and the implications of these preferences for teacher education programs were discussed.

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 TEACHERS' KNOWLEDGE OF STUDENTS' COGNITIVE PROCESSES ABOUT THE DIVISION OF FRACTIONS
Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç (2008-01-01)
The purpose of this study was to examine preservice mathematics teachers' knowledge about common (mis)conceptions and difficulties of elementary students. In addition, it Was aimed to investigate preservice teachers' knowledge about the possible sources of these misconception/difficulties, and their suggested strategies to overcome those difficulties. Data was collected from senior preservice elementary mathematics teachers enrolled in a teacher education program at a public university at the end of the spr...
Preservice secondary mathematics teachers' pedagogical content knowledge of composite and inverse functions
Karahasan, Burcu; Ubuz, Behiye; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2010)
The main purpose of the study was to understand preservice secondary mathematics teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge of composite and inverse functions. The study was conducted with three preservice secondary mathematics teachers in Graduate School of Education at Bilkent University. The instruments of the study were qualitative in nature and in four different types of data forms: observations, interviews, documents, and audiovisual materials. Observation data came from fieldnotes by conducting an obser...
Preservice Middle School Mathematics Teachers’ Knowledge about Students’ Mathematical Thinking Related to Perimeter and Area
Güner, Pınar; Akyüz, Didem (2017-10-01)
The purpose of the current study is to examine preservice middle school mathematics teachers’ knowledge about students’ mathematical thinking related to perimeter and area and determine the consistency between this knowledge and students’ actual mathematical thinking. Case study, one of the qualitative research designs, was used to gain an in-depth understanding of the situation. The study was conducted with four senior preservice middle school mathematics teachers who enrolled in the program of elementary ...
