Abstract

In this study, the effects of redesigned modeling activities on the academic achievement of 7th grade students and the student’s view about these activities were investigated. We use explanatory sequential mixed method design that is one of the mixed research methodology for this investigation. The quantitative part of this research established according to semi-experimental study with pre-posttest, and qualitative part of this study execute with the case study. Quantitative data were collected with multiple choice academic achievement tests, and qualitative data were collected with study papers, observation forms, forms of student’s view, and semi-structured interviews at the end of all activities. The quantitative data were analyzed with covariance analysis. Qualitative data were analyzed with content analysis. As a result, a statistically significant difference was found in favor of the experimental group on the academic achievement which influenced by modeling activities. This difference has been influenced by the presentation of the learning environment in which the students' attitudes and beliefs towards themselves and the lessons will be positively affected, and mathematical skills will be supported to increase success.

Abstract

Effective education depends on various factors, with textbooks and courses being essential for preparing students for real life situations. Therefore, it's crucial that textbooks are thoughtfully developed and chosen. This study investigates how middle school mathematics textbooks approved by the Ministry of National Education for the 2021-2022 academic year address the connections between “Mathematics - Science” and “Mathematics - Nature.” As a descriptive research study, it seeks to reveal the current state of these connections. Data was collected through document analysis, a qualitative research method. Within the scope of this study, eight middle school mathematics textbooks were examined, two from each grade level. The analysis was organized according to the curriculum, emphasizing science and nature themes, as identified through curriculum goals and educational literature. These themes were identified by examining the mathematics curriculum goals and literature on effective mathematics education and textbooks. The research found that while content associations with science and social sciences were somewhat adequate, they were lacking in nature and art. Additionally, connections to daily life were well-represented and designed to engage students. It is recommended that future efforts should aim to enhance textbook preparation to better align with contemporary educational needs.

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to review some studies conducted withdifferentlearning areas in which the schemes of different participants emerge. Alsoit is about to show how mathematical proofs are handled in these studiesby considering Harel and Sowder's classification of proof schemes withspecific examples. As a result, it was seen that the examined studies wereaddressed in the learning areas of Analysis, Geometry, Algebra, LinearAlgebra, Elementary Number Theory, Probability, Combinatorics, andMIX. Students in early grades tend more towards external and empirical proof schemes. On the other hand, the characteristics of theproof schemes become more sophisticated as the participants' profiles changeto pre-service teachers or as they become more specializinginmathematics. Some results are as follows: the academic achievementlevels, genders, and grade levels of the participants in the studiesexamined in this paper have indicated that they have similar traces withthe schemes they use. In addition, it has been determined that newperspectives such as examining Harel and Sowder's classificationwithnew lenses, revealing the overlooked roles of some dynamics inproof, orimproving the framework provide an important research area intermsof revealing students' potentials.
