Bu makale ilköğretim I. kademede görev yapan sınıf öğretmenlerinin değişen yeni öğretim programlarının benimsediği yaklaşıma uygun öğretim yapmak için sahip oldukları donanımlarını belirlemek amacıyla yazılmıştır. Çalışma Türkiye‟nin büyük bir ilinde 104 farklı okulda görev yapan 216 öğretmenin katılımıyla elde edilen verilere dayanmaktadır. Çalışmaya katılan öğretmenler ilköğretim matematik programında yer alan konulardan oluşturulan açık uçlu soruları içeren bir ankete cevaplar vermişlerdir. Bu makalede ankette yer alan sorular arasında sadece kesirlerde işlemler sorusu üzerinde durulmuştur. Söz konusu soruya verilen cevaplar analiz edilmiş ve sonucunda öğretmenlerin ihmal edilemeyecek bir kısmının, en azından kesirler konusunda, ciddi matematiksel zorluklara ve kavram yanılgılarına sahip oldukları görülmüştür. Bu bulgular değişen yeni öğretim programının uygulanabilirliği açısından ele alınmış, öğretmenlerin mesleki gelişimi noktasından değerlendirilmiş ve öğretmenlerin farklı öğrenim geçmişleri dikkate alınarak bir tartışma sunulmuştur

Primary Teachers and Their Mathematical Difficulties

This paper is a by-product of a research that aimed to explore primary teachers‟ preparedness of the implementation of the new curriculum with particular regard to their pedagogical content knowledge. The study is carried out with 216 primary teachers working in 104 different schools in a large province in Turkey. Teachers were applied a questionnaire that included open-ended questions on different mathematical concepts covered in the primary mathematics curriculum. We report only on the questionnaire item on fraction in this paper. The findings obtained from this item show that almost a quarter of teachers have serious mathematical difficulties and misconceptions with regard to fractions. We discuss the concerns that these findings raise in terms of the implementation of the new curriculum and the issue of teachers‟ professional development
