A Pedagogical Perspective Concerning the Concept of Mathematical Proof: A Theoretical Study

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to determine the thoughts of pre-school teachers in making use of computers in maths teaching. The study has been conducted with 14 pre-school teachers with 1-13 years of experience, and employed in Ministry of National Education schools-kindergartens and primary schools- in Giresun, Keşap and Bulancak in 2012-13 academic years. The data of the study gained from a structured form developed by the researcher. It is found out that teachers have positive tendencies towards technology, yet they cannot use it adequately in maths practices, they do not have enough information about technology, they do not allocate time for technology, and they postpone using technology in planning their activities. Therefore, it is necessary that teachers need to be informed via in-service trainings at intervals and they need to see the right models in using technology, and get enough training and level of information to make use of technology.
