Abstract:

 

The aim of this study is to reveal various reasons that prevent the solution of pre-service mathematics teachers in their mathematical problem-solving process. The case study was used in the research in accordance with the qualitative research approach. Participants of the study consisted of 24 pre-service teachers who were selected by purposeful sampling method and studying mathematics education department of education faculty in a state university. Participant observation process and interview form were used to collect the data. According to the results of the study, it was determined that the pre-service mathematics teachers used monotonous approaches for the solution in the problem-solving process, they had insufficient knowledge, had anxiety and prejudices, and also displayed some mental errors.

 

Bu araştırmanın amacı matematik öğretmen adaylarının matematik problemi çözme sürecinde çözümü engelleyen birtakım nedenleri ortaya koymaktır. Araştırmada nitel araştırma yaklaşımına uygun olarak durum çalışması kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın katılımcıları bir devlet üniversitesinin eğitim fakültesi, matematik eğitimi anabilim dalında okuyan, amaçlı örnekleme yöntemiyle seçilen 24 öğretmen adayıdır. Verilerin toplanmasında katılımcı gözlem süreci ve görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre matematik öğretmen adaylarının; problem çözme sürecinde çözüm için tekdüze yaklaşımlar kullandıkları, bilgi yetersizliklerinin olduğu, kaygı ve önyargılarının bulunduğu, ayrıca bir takım zihinsel hatalar sergiledikleri belirlenmiştir.
