Problem-based Quantum Teaching in Mathematics and Students’ Reasoning.The aim of the study is to analyze the effect of problem-based quantum teaching model in Mathematics on students’ reasoning. Employing a quasi-experimental research design of nonequivalent-posttest-only-control-group one, the study involved students of elementary-school-teacher-education department. The students’ reasoning consisted of three basic dimensions: basic-skill thinking, critical thinking, and creative thinking. The data were collected through a reasoning test, which were then analyzed through one-way MANOVA. Quantum teaching oriented towards problem-solving activities was found to be effective in developing students’ rea­soning, particularly in the areas of basic-skill thinking, critical thinking, and creative thinking.
