Abstract
Activity design is an integral part of mathematics education. This study aims to examine the pre-service primary level mathematics teachers’ consideration of the principles of activity design in the process of designing activities. For this purpose, a multiple case study as a qualitative research method was used in the study. The participants of the study consisted of 54 undergraduate students studying in the 3rd year of Primary Level Mathematics Teacher Education programme of a state university in the spring semester of the 2020-2021 academic year. The data of the study were collected by examining the activity designs in the lesson plans prepared by the students. In the analysis of the data obtained, descriptive analysis was carried out in line with the theoretical framework put forward by Yeşildere-İmre (2020). Based on the research findings, it was determined that none of the pre-service teachers included the student perspective in the purpose statement in the activities they designed and all pre-service teachers expressed the purpose of the activity from the perspective of the instructor. In addition, it was found that none of the pre-service teachers designed an activity which considered assessment. In addition, it was observed that none of the pre-service teachers used an expression for informing the students within the scope of the assessment of the activity.
