The Effect of Teachers on Constructing Parabola Knowledge Process of High School Students
Abstract
In
this study, it is aimed to investigate the effect of teacher on constructing
knowledge process of high school students. A case study was used in this qualitative
study. The study was carried out with 2 mathematics teachers selected using
maximum diversity sampling from purposeful sampling methods. In addition, 32
students in traditional learning group and 27 students in constructivist
learning group participated in the study. The research data was collected
through unstructured observations and student products. Descriptive and content
analysis techniques were used in the analysis of data. The processes of constructing knowledge have
been examined with reference to RBC+C model. The research has reached the results that the
process of constructing knowledge is specific to individual and pre-knowledge
is important in this process, students can construct knowledge themselves using
tips and guidance of the teacher when opportunity is given. Student-student
interactions, discussion environments, ability to discover knowledge and
express themselves positively affects students' processes of constructing knowledge.
However, teacher interventions and teacher centered learning environments are
obstacles for students' constructing knowledge. At
the end of the study, it has been proposed to carry out the studies on teacher
behaviors that prevent the students' constructing knowledge.
