Abstract

Fractions are one of the most difficult and complex topics in elementary school mathematics, both in terms of teaching and learning. Indicated research results on students’ failure in fractions and teachers’ inadequate approaches to teaching fractions reveal the necessity of research for teaching fractions. From this point of view, the purpose of this study is to develop a hypothetical learning trajectory that supports understanding of sixth grade elementary students’ addition and subtraction in fractions and to suggest a teaching design on these topics. 16 sixth grade students attended the study in a public school located on the Central Anatolia Region. This research is designed as a teaching experiment which is often used in mathematics education research. Data collection proceeded throughout mathematics classes, two class hours per week for five weeks. At the end of the teaching experiment, a hypothetical learning trajectory and a teaching design for fraction addition and subtraction was proposed. Furthermore, it was revealed that students have learned fraction operations conceptually through the teaching sequence and the multiple representations used in the proposed instructional design for teaching fraction addition and subtraction.

Özet

Kesirler hem öğretme hem de öğrenme açısından özellikle ilkokul matematiğinin en sorunlu ve en karmaşık konularından biridir. Öğrencilerin kesirler konusundaki başarısızlıklarının yanı sıra öğretmenlerin kesir öğretimine yönelik özensiz yaklaşımlarının ön plana çıktığı araştırmalar, kesir öğretimine yönelik araştırmalara gereksinim oluşturmaktadır. Bu gereksinimden hareketle, bu araştırmada ortaokul altıncı sınıf öğrencilerinin kesirlerde toplama ve çıkarma işlemlerini anlamalarını destekleyen bir tahmini öğrenme yol haritası geliştirmek ve aynı zamanda bu konulara yönelik bir öğretim tasarımı önermek amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmaya İç Anadolu bölgesindeki bir ilde bulunan devlet okulunda öğrenim görmekte olan gönüllü 16 altıncı sınıf öğrencisi katılmıştır. Araştırma matematik eğitiminde sıklıkla kullanılan öğretim deneyi kullanılarak tasarlanmıştır. Öğretim deneyinde beş hafta boyunca ve her hafta iki ders saati süresince veri toplanmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucunda kesir kavramı ile kesirlerle toplama ve çıkarma işlemlerine yönelik bir TÖYH geliştirilmiş ve bu konuya yönelik bir öğretim tasarımı önerilmiştir. Ayrıca önerilen öğretim tasarımında kullanılan kesirlerde toplama ve çıkarma konusu için belirlenen öğretim sırası ile kullanılan çoklu temsillerin, öğrencilerin konuları kavramsal olarak öğrenmelerine yardımcı olduğu görülmüştür.
