The Effects Of 2005 Elementary Mathematics Education Curriculum On The Elementary Seventh Grade Students’ Conceptual And Procedural Knowledge And Skills

Abstract

 

The aim of this study is to examine whether the 2005 Elementary Mathemat- ics Education Curriculum (2005-EMEC) affects to seventh grade students’ concep- tual and procedural knowledge and skills. A mixed-method explanatory approach allowing both qualitative and quantitative research methods was used in the study. The data were collected with a Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT) and Struc- tured Interviews (SI). The study included 91 randomly selected seventh grade stu- dents and their two mathematics teachers, in the academic year 2009-2010, and took place in the eastern Anatolia region of Turkey. In this study the achievements of the students' procedural knowledge and skills were significantly higher than the concep- tual achievements first found. But in a nearly 4-month period, while the achieve- ment levels of students’ procedural knowledge and skills did not change signifi- cantly, the conceptual achievement levels increased significantly. Accordingly, practices emphasizing conceptual understanding but not neglecting procedural knowledge and skills were recommended.
