Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between flow states in the mathematics course of pre-service teachers and reflective thinking skills to problem solving. The study was carried out with a total of 186 education faculty students, 60 of whom were mathematics teachers at public universities, 65 of them were science teachers, and 61 were teachers of classroom teachers. “Reflective Thinking Ability Scale for Problem Solving” and “Flow Scale in Mathematics Lesson” scales were used as data collection tools. The study was conducted in a cross-sectional study design. Relations between flow situations in mathematics and reflective thinking skills for problem solving were examined by correlation and regression analysis. There was a significant relationship between flow state and reflective thinking ability for problem solving. Reflective thinking ability to solve problems explains the flow in mathematics course significantly. There was no significant relationship between boredom and reflective thinking ability for problem solving. There was a significant relationship between anxiety and reflective thinking ability for problem solving. Reflective thinking ability towards problem solving explains anxiety in mathematics lesson.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, matematik öğretimini ve matematiksel kavramları içerisinde barındıran matematik öğretmenliği, sınıf öğretmenliği ve fen bilgisi öğretmenliği alanlarında öğrenim gören öğretmen adaylarının matematik dersindeki akış durumları ile problem çözmeye yönelik yansıtıcı düşünme becerileri arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir. Çalışma, bir kamu üniversitesinde eğitim fakültesinde; matematik öğretmenliği (60 öğrenci 32.3%), fen bilgisi öğretmenliği (65 öğrenci 34.9%) ve sınıf öğretmenliği bölümlerinde (61 öğrenci 32.8%) öğrenim gören toplam 186 lisans öğrencisi ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak, “Problem Çözmeye Yönelik Yansıtıcı Düşünme Becerisi Ölçeği” ve “Matematik Dersinde Akış Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Çalışma, kesitsel araştırma deseninde yürütülmüştür. Çalışmada matematik dersindeki akış durumları ile problem çözmeye yönelik yansıtıcı düşünme becerisi arasındaki ilişkiler, korelasyon ve regresyon analizi ile incelenmiştir. Çalışma sonuçlarına göre, öğretmen adaylarının probleme dayalı yansıtıcı düşünme becerilerini kullanmaları arttıkça matematik dersinde akış yaşamaları da artmaktadır. Öğretmen adaylarının matematik derslerinde sıkılmaları ile probleme dayalı yansıtıcı düşünme becerilerini kullanmaları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki yoktur. Ek olarak, öğretmen adaylarının probleme dayalı yansıtıcı düşünme becerilerini kullanmaları arttıkça onların matematik dersindeki kaygı durumları da azalmaktadır.
