Ortaokul Matematik Öğretmeni Adaylarının Problem Çözme Sürecindeki Düşünme Yolları, Anlama Yolları ve Pedagojik Yaklaşımları

Bu çalışmada ortaokul matematik öğretmeni adaylarının problem çözme bağlamındaki düşünme yolları, anlama yolları ve pedagojik açıklamaları ile bunlar arasındaki ilişkilerin DNR çerçevesi kapsamında araştırılması amaçlanmaktadır. Dört ortaokul matematik öğretmeni adayından nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden klinik görüşme yoluyla toplanan veriler açık ve eksensel kodlama yaklaşımı ile analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sonuçları matematik öğretmeni adaylarının problem çözme bağlamındaki düşünme yollarının iki kategoriye ayrıldığını göstermiştir. Ayrıca bu çalışma problem çözme bağlamındaki düşünme yollarının ve özellikle kanıt şemalarının ilköğretim matematik öğretmen adaylarının pedagojik açıklamalarında etkili bir rol oynadığını açığa çıkarmıştır.

Pre-Service Middle School Mathematics Teachers' Ways of Thinking, Ways of Understanding and Pedagogical Approaches in Problem-Solving Process

The aim of this study is to investigate pre-service middle school mathematics teachers' ways of thinking (WoT), ways of understanding (WoU) and pedagogical approaches as well as the relationships among them in the context of problem-solving within the DNR framework. In this qualitatively designed study, the data was collected through clinical interviews with four pre-service middle school mathematics teachers and analyzed through open and axial coding approach. The results of the analysis indicated that pre-service mathematics teachers' WoTs in the context of problem-solving were fell into two categories. This study also revealed that WoTs and particularly proof schemes in the context of problem-solving might play effective role in pre-service middle school mathematics teachers' pedagogical approaches.
