The purpose of this study is to determinate of elementary mathematics teachers' thoughts
on the role of
technology in mathematical modelling process. The sample of this study is constitute 20 candidates who attend
last term in Karadeniz Technical University Fatih Education Faculty Department of Elementary
Mathematics Education. In the application process of teacher candidates, has
worked with groups of four on totall y 6
mathematical modeling problems.
In application process, open internet access computer is provided that including mathematics
software
such as GeoGebra, Cabri Geometry.
Groups have been released about the use of technology. At the end of this
application, for deteminate the role of technology in solving problems of mathematical modeling, focus group
interviews were conducted in
order to obtain
their
views with each workgroup.
Answers about teacher candidates directed questions about to the role of technology in mathematical modeling process were analyzed
using qualitative research techniques.
The analysis of data, it has been demonstrated the amenities provided by technological
tools, potential
difficulties without technological
tools, in mathematical modeling process, the effects of use of technological
tools from the perspective of teacher
candidates and
the
positive and negative effects of technology in mathematical modeling process.
It is believed that this study will bring a different perspective to researcher who use of technological tools in the mathematical modeling process
