The Effects of Multiple Linked Representations on Students' Learning of Linear Relationships

Bu çalışma, 9.sınıf cebir öğrencilerinin doğrusal ilişkiler konusunu öğrenmelerinde bilgisayar kullanımının etkilerini incelemiştir. Bu amaç ile bağlantılı ve yarı bağlantılı gösterim yazılımı kullanan iki deney ve bir kontrol grubu karşılaştırılmıştır. Veri toplama yöntemleri matematik ön ve son testleri, uygulama sonrası mülakatları ve bilgisayar ortamındaki klinik mülakatları, sınıf ve laboratuvar gözlemleri, doküman analizi ve matematiksel gösterimleri tercih anketinden oluşmuştur. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, yarı bağlantılı gösterimlerin bağlantılı gösterimler kadar etkili olabileceğini ve her ikisinin de farklı durumlarda, değişik sınıf seviyelerinde ve matematik konularında kullanımı olduğunu göstermiştir.

Bilgisayar Ortamındaki Çoğul Bağlantılı Gösterimlerin Öğrencilerin Doğrusal İlişkileri Öğrenmeleri Üzerindeki Etkileri

The focus of this study was on comparing three groups of Algebra I 9th-year students: one group using linked representation software, the second group using similar software but with semi-linked representations, and the control group in order to examine the effects on students' understanding of linear relationships. Data collection methods included mathematics pre- and posttests, follow-up interviews, computer-based clinical interviews at the end of the treatment, classroom and lab observations, document analysis, and survey. The conclusion of this study was that semi-linked representations could be as effective as linked representations and that there was a role for each in different situations, at different levels, and with different mathematical concepts.
