Topuz, Zehra Betül
The purpose of this study was to show to what extent middle school mathematics textbooks in Turkey include potential requirements of mathematics literacy for geometrical objects subject tasks in the PISA 2018 Mathematics Literacy Framework. Mathematics Literacy Framework includes four aspects: process, capabilities, contextualization, and proficiency levels. In total 220 tasks were coded. Regarding the process aspect, 88.1% of the tasks was about employing mathematical concepts, facts, and procedures, 7.8% was about formulating situations mathematically, 4.1% was about interpreting mathematical outcomes. Regarding the capability aspect, 44.4% of the tasks was about ‘‘Using Symbolic, Formal and Technical Language and Operations’’, 36% was about ‘‘Representation’’, 11% was about ‘‘Using Mathematical Tools’’ and 7% was about ‘‘Reasoning and Argument’’. In relation to contextualization, 85% of the tasks were decontextualized. In relation to six proficiency levels, 68% of the task’s proficiency levels was Level 1 and Level 2 implying to carry out routine procedures.

Analysis of analogy use on function concept in the ninth grade mathematics textbook and classrooms
Ünver, Emel; Ubuz, Behiye; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2009)
The primary objective of the current study was to examine how analogies are used on function concept in the ninth grade mathematics textbook and classrooms. Using qualitative research procedure comprising textbook analysis and classroom observations, a picture was developed of how analogies used on function concept in ninth grade mathematics textbook and classrooms. One mathematics textbook, the primary source for observed classes was selected and analyzed for the study. Chapter entitled as “functions” in t...
Through Their Eyes: Gifted Students' Views on Integrating History of Mathematics Embedded Videos Into Mathematics Classrooms
Karatas-Aydin, Firdevs Iclal; Işıksal Bostan, Mine (2022-04-01)
This study examined gifted students' views on integrating the history of mathematics embedded videos into mathematics classrooms. The research was conducted with 30 fifth-grade students who were identified as gifted with the WISC-R Intelligent Test Score and aptitude test. Data were collected through students' video reflection papers after watching the videos on biographies of mathematicians. Content analysis was conducted to analyze data collected with reflection papers. The findings were grouped as histor...
An Analysis of the opportunities to learn afforded by the tasks in a ninth grade Turkish mathematics textbook
Bayraktar, İmren; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Department of Mathematics and Science Education (2019)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the learning opportunities afforded in the tasks related to the number and quantity in a ninth-grade mathematics textbook used throughout Turkey by the majority of the students. The analysis of the tasks was guided by the PISA 2012 Mathematics Framework in terms of the process capabilities needed to solve tasks, contextualization, and proficiency levels required to solve the tasks. Analysis of the 400 tasks related to the number and quantity revealed that while a...
Mathematical Modeling in Mathematics Education: Basic Concepts and Approaches
Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; ÇETİNKAYA, BÜLENT; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Bas, Sinem (2014-01-01)
Mathematical modeling and its role in mathematics education have been receiving increasing attention in Turkey, as in many other countries. The growing body of literature on this topic reveals a variety of approaches to mathematical modeling and related concepts, along with differing perspectives on the use of mathematical modeling in teaching and learning mathematics in terms of definitions of models and modeling, the theoretical backgrounds of modeling, and the nature of questions used in teaching modelin...
