Abstract

This study examines the types of interactions of prospective mathematics teachers (PMTs) in the processes of material use and development within the context of the 5E instructional model. Specifically, the study aims to examine which pedagogical design capacity (PDC) structures— offloading, adapting, and improvising—are exhibited in the lesson plans prepared by PMTs. The findings indicate that PMTs preferred the offloading strategy more during the evaluation phase, while in the exploration phase, they preferred adaptation to meet student needs. The improvisation strategy, on the other hand, is used for limited and small-scale interventions. The findings reveal that PMTs make stage-specific strategic decisions in the instructional design processes and provide significant data regarding their interactions with curriculum materials. The investigation emphasizes the importance of practices aimed at developing PMTs' flexible and needs-based decision-making skills in teacher education programs.

Özet

Bu çalışma, 5E öğretim modeli bağlamında, matematik öğretmen adaylarının (MÖA) materyal kullanımı ve geliştirme süreçlerindeki etkileşim türlerini incelemektedir. Özellikle, çalışma PMT'ler tarafından hazırlanan ders planlarında hangi pedagojik tasarım kapasitesi (PDC) yapılarının – aynen kullanma, uyarlama ve doğaçlama- sergilendiğini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bulgular, matematik öğretmen adaylarının değerlendirme aşamasında aynen kullanma stratejisini daha çok tercih ederken, keşif aşamasında öğrenci ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak için uyum sağlamayı tercih ettiklerini göstermektedir. Öte yandan, doğaçlama stratejisi sınırlı ve küçük ölçekli müdahaleler için kullanmaktadır. Bulgular, öğretim tasarım süreçlerinde öğretmen adaylarının aşamaya özgü stratejik kararlar aldığını ve müfredat materyalleriyle etkileşimleri hakkında önemli veriler sağladığını ortaya koymaktadır. Bu araştırma, öğretmen eğitim programlarında matematik öğretmen adaylarının esnek ve ihtiyaç temelli karar verme becerilerini geliştirmeyi amaçlayan uygulamaların önemini vurgulamaktadır.
