Pre-Service Classroom Teachers Opinions on Using Different Manipulatives in Mathematics Teaching

Year 2012, Volume: 1 Issue: 1 - ISSUE 1, - , 24.09.2012

Abstract

In the study, pre-service teachers opinions on the usage of virtual and physical manipulatives in mathematics teaching have been designated. In this context, questionnaires and interviews have been carried out with the students from the Department of Classroom Teaching in Kafkas University. From the acquired findings, pre-service teachers generally preferred to use virtual manipulatives, but they have stated that using physical manipulatives will be advantageous for 1st and 3rd grade students. In addition, it has appeared that pre-service teachers preferred virtual manipulatives to physical manipulatives owing to the reasons such as including extra activities, providing saving of time, feedback and movement independence, presenting activeness for students and constructing the information by itself, being enjoyable, decreasing the possibility of making mistakes and ensuring exploring and interrogation.
