Abstract

In this manuscript, changes in psychosocial factors of learning were examined in two forms ofcollege algebra: traditionally-taught and redesigned using Math Emporium model. Sample of thisquasi experimental quantitative study in which experiment-control group pretest-posttest design isused consists of 224 students. Results of the study revealed that attitudes toward technologysupported mathematics, beliefs about being able to do mathematics, and overall attitudes towardmathematics changed significantly in both educational settings. Attitudes toward mathematics,extrinsic motivation to learn mathematics, and satisfaction from mathematics learning experiences,from technology-supported mathematics, and from mathematics instruction changed significantly inredesigned sessions throughout the semester. Attitudes toward mathematics and attitudes towardtechnology-supported mathematics were significantly different when traditionally-taught and theredesigned college algebra sessions compared.

Özet

Bu makalede geleneksel ve matematik Emporium ile yeniden-tasarlanmış üniversite düzeyi cebir derslerinde öğrenmenin psikososyal faktörlerindeki değişimler incelenmiştir. Deney-kontrol grubu öntest-sontest yarı deneysel modeli kullanılan nicel çalışmanın örneklemi 224 öğrenciden oluşmaktadır. Araştırma sonuçları her iki öğretim modelinde de öğrencilerin teknoloji-destekli matematik derslerine karşı tutumlarında, matematikte başarılı olabilmelerine ilişkin inançlarında ve matematiğe karşı genel tutumlarında anlamlı bir değişim olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Araştırma öğrencilerin matematiğe karşı tutumlarının, matematik öğrenmek için dış motivasyonlarının, matematik derslerindeki öğrenme yaşantılarından kaynaklanan memnuniyetin dönem boyunca sadece yeniden tasarlanan derslerde anlamlı şekilde değiştiğini ortaya çıkarmıştır. Geleneksel yöntemle öğretilen ve yeniden tasarlanmış (Emporium) şekilde öğretilen matematik dersleri karşılaştırıldığında ise her iki eğitim ortamında sadece öğrencilerin matematiğe karşı tutumlarının ve teknoloji destekli matematik eğitimine karşı tutumlarının anlamlı şekilde farklı olduğu belirlenmiştir.
