Abstract

Bu yapıda üç matematik öğretinin pergel ve çizgeçmenin geometrik yapıları süreçleri incelenmektedir. Öğretmenlerin geometri yapı yapımı ve ilgili dersleri video kamera ile kaydedilmiş ve derslerdeki öğretmen-öğrenci-araç üçlüsü arasındaki etkileşim incelenmiştir. Ders Kitaplığı içeren öğretmenlerle görüşmeler yapıldı. Çalışmada üç matematik öğretmeninin pergel ve çizgeci geometrik yapılar yapı mühendisliği. Araştırma pergel ve çizgeçle geometrik yapıların inşasına ezbere bir anlayışla öğretmen yönergelerini takip etme çalıştıkları gözlenmiştir. Öğretmenler pergel ve çizgeç kalmak geometrik yapı oluşturmanın olumlu tarafları ve dersler hale hale getirmek ve ezberden uzaklaştırmak. Geometrik yapıların pergel ve çizgeçle senkron imalatı öğretmen merkezli değil, öğrenci merkezli bir anlayışla gerçekleştirilmesi önerilmektedir.

The Use of a Compass and Straightedge to Construct Geometric Structures

Abstract

This study investigated three mathematics teachers’ construction process of geometric structures using compass and
straightedge. The teacher-student-tool interaction was analysed. The study consists of the use of a compass and straightedge by the
teachers, the ideas of the teachers about their use, and the observations regarding the learning process during the construction of the
geometric structures. A semi-structured interview was conducted with the teachers about the importance of the use of a compass and
straightedge to construct geometric structures. It was found that teachers taught compass and straightedge constructions in a rote
manner where learning is little more than steps in a process. The study concludes with some suggestions for the use of a compass
and straightedge in mathematics classes based on the research results

Keywords

constructing geometric structure, compass and straightedge, teaching geometry.
