Secondary mathematics teachers' subject matter knowledge of quadratic functions and its contribution to student learning outcomes
Karacı Yaşa, Gülzade; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2022-8-31)
The purpose of the present study was to investigate secondary mathematics teachers’ subject matter knowledge (SMK) of quadratic functions and its contribution to teachers’ instructional practice and student learning outcomes. The study was carried out in two stages. In the first stage, a questionnaire was administered to 18 secondary mathematics teachers to identify their SMK of quadratic functions, which has three sub-components: common content knowledge (CCK), specialized content knowledge (SCK), and hori...
Secondary mathematics teachers’ mathematics related beliefs throughout a professional development program based on mathematical modelling
Ören Vural, Duygu; Çetinkaya, Bülent; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2015)
The purpose of this qualitative study is to investigate in-service secondary school mathematics teachers’ mathematics related beliefs, to explore changes in their beliefs after they participated in a one-year professional development program (PDP) based on mathematical modelling as well as teachers’ perception about the effects of PDP on their belief change. Semi-structured interviews and an open-ended analogy questionnaire were the main data sources. Results showed that most of the teachers held more than ...
Secondary school students’ programming and computational thinking skills: traditional and interdisciplinary approaches to teaching programming
Altın, Rükiye; Tokel, Saniye Tuğba; Department of Computer Education And Instructional Technology (2021-2-15)
The focus on K-12 Computer Science education has increased in line with today’s need for a population skilled in computational thinking, and with the growth in careers that are within or at least related to the field of computer science. As such, young learners should be introduced to computer science from an early age, as programming is now considered by many to be an indispensable change to traditional learning methods, and is seen as playing a significant role in the future career choices of most school-...
