Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to examine eighth grade students' making sense of graph and graph comprehension competencies. The research method is a case study and clinical interview tasks was used as a data collection tool. The study group consisted of five students with high academic achievement. The data obtained were analyzed according to qualitative data analysis methods. As a result of the study, it was determined that eighth grade students did not have any problems at the level of data reading in the context of the theoretical framework of making sense of graph, but they had difficulties on reading between the data and reading beyond the data, which require higher level skills. Besides students encountered some difficulties such as scaling the graph axes, naming the axes, drawing a linear graph passing through the given points and deciding on the appropriate graph type and had misconceptions at this point.

Özet

Bu araştırmada sekizinci sınıf öğrencilerinin grafik algılarının ve grafik oluşturma yeterliklerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Araştırmanın yöntemi durum çalışması olup veri toplama aracı olarak klinik görüşme görevleri kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu akademik başarıları yüksek beş öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Elde edilen veriler nitel veri analizi yöntemlerine göre analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonucunda, grafik algısı teorik çatısı bağlamında sekizinci sınıf öğrencilerinin veri okuma düzeyinde herhangi bir sorun yaşamadıkları fakat üst düzey beceriler gerektiren veriler arası okuma ve veri ötesi okuma düzeyindeki beceriler noktasında zorluklar yaşadıkları tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca öğrencilerin grafik eksenlerinin ölçeklendirilmesi, eksenlerin adlandırılması, verilen noktalardan geçen doğrusal grafiği çizme ve uygun grafik türüne karar verme gibi bir takım zorluklarla karşılaştıkları ve bu noktada yanılgılara sahip oldukları görülmüştür.
