Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine topics in secondary mathematics curriculum which are perceived as difficult and find the reasons for these difficulties. For this purpose, a questionnaire was administered to students from the departments of elementary mathematics, science education, primary school education and early childhood education (N=353). The teacher interviews were made to understand the reasons for these difficulties (N=20). University entrance exam was determined as one of the fundamental factors of these difficulties and some suggestions wer e given at the end of the study

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, ortaöğretim matematik müfredatında zor olarak algılanan konuları belirlemek ve bu zorlukların nedenlerini ortaya çıkarmaktır. Bu amaçla ilköğretim matematik, fen bilgisi, okulöncesi ve sınıf öğretmenliği anabilim dalı öğrencilerine bir anket uygulanmıştır (N=353). Anket yardımıyla ortaya çıkan zorlukların nedenlerini anlamak için ise öğretmenlerle görüşme yapılmıştır (N=20). Çalışmanın sonunda konuların zorluğunu belirleyen temel faktörlerden birinin öğrenci seçme sınavı olduğu saptanmıştır ve çeşitli önerilerde bulunulmuştur
