Abstract

Mathematical concepts can be represented in multiple ways. Teaching a concept together with the relationships between its multiple representations is regarded as one of the most important components of mathematics teaching. This study aims to examine the relationship between the ability to use geometric representation and algebraic representation bidirectionally on subject of conic sections. Sample of the study comprised 200 teacher candidates studying at Necmettin Erbakan University, Ahmet Keleşoğlu Education Faculty, Department of Mathematics Education. The questions were addressed to these mathematics teacher candidates at the end of the spring term 2016-2017, when they took the analytic geometry lesson. Quantitative research methods were used in the study. The problem sentence of this study is the success of bidirectional shift between the skill of ability of using algebraic representation and geometric representation on the subject of conic sections. In conclucion of the study, it was found that the mathematics teacher candidates were more successful in the geometrical representations than the algebraic representations and there was a meaningful difference in favor of in the geometrical representation of algebraic representations
