Abstract

The purpose of this study was to find out the type of analogies in the strategies proposed by preservice teachers in Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus for teaching the multiplication of directed numbers. Second year preservice elementary teachers who enrolled in Atatürk Teacher Training Academy and fourth year preservice math teachers who enrolled in Eastern Mediterranean University were asked to write, in detail, how to teach the multiplication of directed numbers. In analyzing the data, qualitative techniques (content analysis) were used beside MANOVA and independent samples t-test procedures. Analysis done for the whole group revealed that in proposing analogies, the model“(-2) x (-3) = +6” was the hardest and the model “(+2) x (+3) = +6” was the easiest task for the preservice teachers. Analysis revealed that preservice elementary teachers who enrolled in Atatürk Teacher Training Academy proposed better analogies than preservice math teachers who enrolled in Eastern Mediterranean University and they faced with fewer problems in proposing analogies. Results of this study pointed to the importance of using “Teaching With Analogies” type of approaches in teacher training programs which are conceptual change based.

Özet

Çalışmanın amacı Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti’ndeki öğretmen adaylarının negatif ve pozitif işaretli sayıların çarpımının öğretiminde önerdikleri yöntemler içerisinde ne gibi analojiler olduğunu ortaya çıkarmaktır. Bu amaçla Atatürk Öğretmen Akademisi’nin ikinci sınıfında ve Doğu Akdeniz Üniversitesi Matematik Öğretmenliği Bölümünün son sınıfında öğrenim gören öğretmen adaylarından “aynı işaretli ve farklı işaretli sayıların çarpımının öğretiminde ne gibi yöntemler kullanabileceklerini” detaylı bir biçimde yazmaları istenmiştir. Verilerin analizinde niceliksel yöntemlerin yanı sıra (MANOVA ve bağımsız gruplar t-testi) niteliksel yöntemlere de (içerik analizi) yer verilmiştir. Tüm örneklemi hedef alarak yapılan analizler öğretmen adaylarının analoji önermede en çok zorlandıkları modelin “(-2) x (-3) = +6”, en az zorlandıkları modelin ise “(+2) x (+3) = +6” olduğunu ortaya çıkarmıştır. Analizler, Atatürk Öğretmen Akademisi öğretmen adaylarının verilen aritmetiksel durumlar için, Doğu Akdeniz Üniversitesi öğretmen adaylarından daha iyi analojiler önerdikleri ve bu konularda daha az zorladıklarını göstermiştir. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgular, öğretmen yetiştirmede kavramsal değişme temelli “Analoji Kullanarak Öğretim” tipinde yaklaşımların kullanılmasının önemini işaret etmektedir.
