Examination of the Contribution of Data Learning Field to the General Objectives of the Mathematics Teaching Program

The aim of this study is to examine the contribution of the data learning area to the general objectives of the mathematics curriculum. The study was designed with case study, which is one of the qualitative research designs. A total of 160 students from 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th grades were asked the open-ended question in order to determine which of the general purposes of mathematics teaching in the data learning area in the mathematics curriculum. After the answers given by the students to this open-ended question were read and analyzed one by one, the contribution of the data learning field to the general aims of mathematics education was tried to be supported by student words. The relationships between the general objectives of the mathematics curriculum and the target behaviors of the data learning area were determined. As a result of the research, it was determined that there is a data learning area in each of the general objectives of primary school mathematics teaching. Although data learning area is an important basic learning area, it is seen that this learning area is not given enough importance in our country. The view that the objectives in the field of data learning leads students to (a) data collection: sourcing habit and knowledge generation, (b) data organization: identifying critical aspects and forming concepts, (c) presenting data: synthesizing and generalizing, (d) data analysis: comparing and problem solving emerges.
