This study examined how the levels-of-sophistication framework supports pre-service mathematics teachers’ professional noticing of students’ reasoning about length measurement. Three pre-service teachers were asked to analyse students’ written solutions in the tasks that reflected different characteristics of students’ reasoning before and after participating in an intervention based on the “Levels of Sophistication in Students’ Reasoning about Length” (Battista, 2006) conceptual framework The findings indicated that the levels-of-sophistication framework enabled the pre-service teachers to give their full attention to students’ mathematical understanding and to provide proper instruction to support students’ learning and hence, it had a significant role in the improvement of the professional noticing skills of these pre-service teachers. Thus, it is suggested that the levels-of-sophistication framework can be used to support pre-service teachers’ professional noticing skills and to better prepare them to teach length measurement based on students’ reasoning.

Investigating preservice middle school mathematics teachers’ noticing of students’ mathematical thinking in the context of lesson study / Güner, Pınar; Akyüz, Didem; Department of Elementary Education (2017) The purpose of the current study was to examine preservice middle school mathematics teachers’ noticing of students’ mathematical thinking in the context of lesson study professional development model and determine whether any changes took place in their noticing skills. Qualitative research methodology, in particular, case study was used in order to elaborate what and how preservice teachers notice during lesson study phases which are planning, teaching, reflecting, re teaching and re-reflecting. With this...
Investigating prospective mathematics teachers’ pedagogical approaches in response to students’ errors in the context of mathematical modeling activities Didiş, Makbule Gözde; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Çetinkaya, Bülent (2016-01-01) The purpose of this study was to investigate what pedagogical approaches prospective secondary mathematics teachers would display in response to students’ errors revealed in students’ works on mathematical modeling tasks. Data were collected through individual interviews with seven prospective mathematics teachers. The data analyses revealed five approaches that the prospective teachers preferred: Question-asking (questioning), explaining the right answer, hinting at the correct solution, telling/showing th...
Assessment of preservice mathematics teachers’ knowledge for teaching statistics Mercimek, Oktay; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2013) The purpose of this study is to assess preservice teachers’ mathematical knowledge for teaching statistics (MKT-S). For this purpose, MKT-S instrument consisting of two dimensions, ‘content knowledge’ (CK) and ‘pedagogical content knowledge’ (PCK) was developed, and applied to 659 preservice middle school mathematics teachers (PTs). Confirmatory factor analysis showed that CK and PCK are two different dimensions of mathematical knowledge of teaching statistics. It was found that CK factor scores were highly...
PRE-SERVICE MATHEMATICS TEACHERS’ TECHNOLOGYENHANCED COLLECTIVE ARGUMENTATION Kol, Murat; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2022-9-02) This study aims to investigate the nature of pre-service mathematics teachers’ collective mathematical argumentation processes in a technology-enriched learning environment. This design-based study designed a course to improve pre-service mathematics teachers’ technology competencies. In this context, pre-service teachers’ mathematical argumentation processes were evaluated with data obtained during a semester. The data presented in this study were obtained from 10 pre-service teachers who enrolled in the ...
An Investigation of pre-service secondary mathematics teachers’ knowledge of students’ thinking through analyzing student work Didiş, Makbule Gözde; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2014) The purpose of this study was to investigate pre-service secondary mathematics teachers’ knowledge of students’ thinking within an undergraduate course context. The participants were twenty five pre-service mathematics teachers enrolled in this undergraduate mathematics education course which aims to develop pre-service mathematics teachers’ knowledge in and about mathematical modeling in teaching and learning mathematics. The design of the study contained 4 two-week cycles. In the first week of each cycle,...
