The Relationship Between Middle School Students’ Problem Posing Skills And Algebraic Thinking Levels

Abstract

The purpose of this study, to determine problem-posing skills and algebraic thinking levels and whether there is a relationship between problem-posing skills and algebraic thinking levels. In this research, correlation was used from quantitative research methods. In the fall semester of the 2016-2017 academic year, 308 students (151 girls, 157 boys) attending 7th and 8th grade in three secondary schools in the province of Konya were participated in the research. In the research, to determine the algebraic thinking levels of students, developed by Hart et al. (1998) and "Algebraic Thinking Level Test" adapted to Turkish by Altun (2005) was used. In addition, to measure the problem-posing skills of the students, Problem Posing Test was used as a data collection tool. The Spearman's Rank Correlation coefficient technique was used to determine the relationship between problem-posing skills and algebraic thinking levels. As a result of the research, while there is an accumulated at level 0 and level 1 among 7th grade students, it is accumulated at level 2 and level 4 among 8th grade students. In addition, it was determined that there is a strong correlation between students' algebraic thinking level and problem-posing skills in the positive direction.
