İlköğretim 3., 4. ve 5. Sınıf Öğrencilerinin Standart Sözel Problemlerde İşlem Seçimleri

Bu çalışmanın amacı anahtar sözcük içeren ve içermeyen standart sözel problemlerde öğrencilerin işlemi neye göre seçtiklerini ortaya çıkarmaktır. Bu amaçla Bolu ilinde sosyo-ekonomik düzeyi orta-düşük bir ilköğretim okulundan 3, 4 ve 5. sınıflardan toplam 9 öğrenci ile klinik görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Veriler analiz edildiğinde öğrencilerin genellikle problem çözme sürecinde anahtar sözcükleri kullanmaya çalıştıkları görülmüştür. Bulguların ilköğretimde matematik eğitimi açısından doğurguları tartışılmaktadır.

Elementary School Students' Decisions in Choosing an Arithmetic Operation for Standard Word Problems

The purpose of this research was to investigate elementary school students’ successes in choosing the correct arithmetic operation for different types of standard word problems. Clinical interviews were conducted with 3rd, 4th and 5th grades of an elementary school located in a mid-low socioeconomic area in Bolu. Data were analyzed using qualitative methods. Results showed that students generally used key words when they were solving word problems. Implications for mathematics education at the elementary level were discussed.
