İLKÖĞRETİM 6, 7 ve 8. SINIF ÖĞRENCİLERİNİN NOKTA, DOĞRU VE DÜZLEM KAVRAMLARINI ALGILAMA DÜZEYLERİ VE KAVRAM YANILGILARI

PRIMARY SCHOOL THE 6 th, 7th AND 8th GRADE STUDENTS’ PERCEPTIONS AND MISCONCEPTIONS ON POINT, LINE AND PLANE CONCEPTS

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, geometrinin anlaşılmasında temel olan nokta, doğru ve düzlem kavramları(Tanımsız Kavramlar) ile ilgili ilköğretim 6, 7 ve 8 sınıf öğrencilerinin algı düzeylerini ve kavram yanılgılarını tespit etmektir. İlköğretim Matematik Programı çerçevesinde, uzman görüşleri alınarak yarı yapılandırılmış üç adet açık uçlu sorularla Görüşme Protokolü (GP) oluşturulmuştur. GP ile öğrencilerin nokta, doğru ve düzlem kavramlar hakkındaki görüşleri alınmıştır. Öğrenci görüşleri algı düzeylerine göre sınıflandırılmıştır.

Abstract

Geometry is established on the undefined concepts. Misunderstanding of the basic concepts in geometry lesson, students will prevent to comprehend on the understanding of other geometry issues exactly. The purpose of this study is to determine the primary six, seven and eight grade students’ the levels of perception and their misconceptions related to the point, line, and plane concepts (Undefined concepts) which are the basic concepts Interview protocol including semi-structured essay type questions was formed (GP) in the light of expert opinions of GP under Elementary Mathematics Program framework. The interview protocol was asked students’ responses about point, line and plane. Students’ opinions are classified according to their levels of perception. Themes were determined for each level of perception and each theme were divided sub-themes according to the students’ relationship concepts. The descriptive analysis was used for data analysis. Sampling consists of eight primary schools in which each six, seven and eight grade classrooms randomly including 461 of students. Survey method is carried out as a research method. As a result, the students have been identified some difficulties on which the comprehension of the basic geometry concepts such as point, line, and plane. In addition, these concepts are confused with each other and they have some misconceptions.
