Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify primary school students’ thinking processes within the modeling process and the challenges they encounter, if any. This is a qualitative research study conducted in Dumlupınar college associated with a state university in the city center of Kütahya in the academic year of 2015-2016. The study group of the research was composed of 4 primary school 4th-grade students who were selected with criterion sampling which is a purposive sampling method. The data of the study was collected with the focus group interview method and reported with descriptive analysis. It was seen in the study that the students could suggest new and different ideas, testify these ideas to try to convince other group members and improve their own ideas based on their friends’ opinions. It was concluded that the students could look at the problem text from a critical perspective, create new problems to be able to set a realistic model, access extra information by investigating, mathematize the problems they created by using solution strategies, make recommendations in consideration of multiple results they achieved and evaluate these results and eliminate the inconsistencies they identified

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı ilkokul öğrencilerinin model oluşturma sürecindeki düşünme süreçlerini ve eğer varsa bu süreçte karşılaştıkları zorlukları belirlemektir. Araştırma 2016/2017 eğitim öğretim yılında Kütahya ili Dumlupınar Kolejinde gerçekleştirilmiş nitel bir araştırmadır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu amaçlı örnekleme yöntemlerinden ölçüt örnekleme yöntemi kullanılarak seçilen 4 ilkokul 4. sınıf öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Veri toplama aracı olarak bir adet gerçek hayat durumlarını içeren alış-veriş problemi kullanılmıştır. Problemde verilenler açık bir şekilde sunulmamış öğrencilerden problem durumunu gerçek hayat koşullarına indirgeyerek problemin içindeki gizli problemleri ortaya çıkarmaları ve gizli problemlerin çözümü için veri toplamaları beklenmiştir. Çalışma verileri odak grup görüşmesi yöntemiyle toplanmış, betimsel analiz yapılarak raporlaştırılmıştır. Çalışma soncunda öğrencilerin grup içi etkileşim sayesinde yeni ve farklı fikirler ortaya atabildikleri, ortaya attıkları fikirleri kanıtlandırarak diğer grup üyelerini ikna etmeye çabaladıkları, arkadaşlarının görüşlerinden hareketle kendi fikirlerini yeniden geliştirebildikleri görülmüştür. Çalışma sonucunda öğrencilerin problem metnine eleştirel gözle bakarak çıkarımlarda bulunabildikleri, gerçekçi bir model kurabilmek için yeni problemler kurabildikleri, araştırma yaparak ihtiyaçları olan ekstra bilgilere ulaşabildikleri, kurdukları problemleri çözüm stratejilerini kullanarak matematiksel ifadelere dönüştürebildikleri, buldukları birden fazla sonucu göz önünde bulundurarak önerilerde bulunabildikleri, buldukları sonuçları değerlendirerek tespit ettikleri tutarsızlıkları giderebildikleri görülmüştür. Çalışma sonucunda elde edilen bir diğer bulgu ise modelleme çalışmalarının doğrusal olmayıp döngüsel olduğu, gerektiğinde bir önceki basamaklara geri dönüşlerin gerçekleşebildiği bulgusudur
