Abstract

Çoğunlukla öğrenme süreçleri ile ilişkili bir kavram olarak ele alınan üstbiliş, bilişsel pek çok süreci içeren öğretim faaliyetlerinin etkili bir şekilde yerine getirilmesinde de önemli bir rol oynar. Araştırmalar genel olarak öğretmenlerin üstbilişsel deneyimlerine (öğretimin planlanması, izlenmesi, değerlendirilmesi gibi) ve bunların nasıl geliştirilebileceğine odaklanmıştır. Bu çalışmada, matematik öğretimi için gerekli üstbilişsel bilgi yapılarını incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Bu kapsamda bir matematik öğretmeninin denk kesirler konusunun öğretimi sırasında işe koştuğu üstbilişsel bilgiler, üstbiliş ve öğretmen bilgisi modelleri çerçevesinde tanımlanmıştır. Nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden durum çalışması deseni kullanılmıştır. Çalışmaya deneyimli bir ortaokul matematik öğretmeni katılmış, veriler öğretmen ile yapılan bire-bir görüşmeler ve denk kesriler konusunun öğretimini içeren ders gözlemleri yoluyla toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde içerik analizi kullanılmıştır. Bulgulara dayanarak matematik öğretmeninin üstbilişsel bilgisi ne bildiği, nasıl öğrettiği ve öğretim karar ve eylemleri hakkındaki (neden/ne zaman) bilgi ve farkındalıkları olmak üzere üç ana kategori altında tanımlanmıştır. Öğretmenin “ne bildiği” hakkındaki bilgisi, kendisi, öğrencileri ve genel öğretmen özellikleri ile öğretim sırasında performansına etki edebilecek konu özellikleri (kaynaklar, müfredat, öğretim stratejileri, temsiller ve örnekler) hakkındaki farkındalıklarını içermektedir. Öğretmenin “nasıl öğrettiği” hakkındaki bilgisi, konu ile ilgili tanımların, örnek ve temsillerin nasıl sunulacağı, öğretim yöntem ve stratejilerin nasıl işe koşulacağı, öğretimle ilgili görevlerin nasıl sıralanacağı ve bağlantıların nasıl kurulacağı hakkındaki bilgileri içermektedir. “Öğretim karar ve eylemleri” hakkındaki bilgiler ise öğretmenin öğretimine, öğrenciye ve koşullara ilişkin aldığı kararları, bu kararların nedenleri, zamanlaması ve etkililiği hakkındaki farkındalıklarını içermektedir. Çalışmada tanımlanan üstbilişsel bilgilerin öğretmen bilgisi modellerinde tanımlanan bilgi boyutları ile ilişkili olduğu görülmüştür.

A Mathematics Teacher's Metacognitive Knowledge of Teaching: The Case of Equivalent Fractions

Abstract

Metacognition, often associated with learning processes, also crucially impacts effective teaching involving cognitive processes. Research primarily focuses on teachers' metacognitive experiences (such as planning, monitoring, and evaluating instruction) and their development. This study examines metacognitive knowledge structures for teaching mathematics within the framework of metacognition and teacher knowledge models. A case study approach was adopted. An experienced middle school mathematics teacher participated in the study, and data were collected through one-on-one interviews with the teacher and classroom observations during the instruction of equivalent fractions. Content analysis was used. Findings categorized the teacher's metacognitive knowledge into "what they know," "how they teach," and "instructional decisions and actions (why/when)." "What they know" includes the teacher's awareness of themselves, students, general teacher characteristics, and topic-related attributes (sources, curriculum, teaching strategies, representations, and examples) that could influence their performance during instruction. The dimension of "how they teach" encompasses the teacher's knowledge about presenting definitions, examples, and representations of the topic, employing teaching methods and strategies, sequencing instructional tasks, and establishing connections between concepts. The dimension of "instructional decisions and actions" encompasses the teacher's awareness of the decisions they make concerning instruction, students, and conditions, including the rationale, timing, and effectiveness of these decisions. The metacognitive knowledge identified in this study is closely related to the knowledge dimensions described in teacher knowledge models.
