THE FACTORS AFFECTING THE USE OF MATHEMATICS TEXTBOOK OF MATHEMATICS TEACHERS AT PRIMARY EDUCATION GRADES 6-8 AND THEIR EXPECTATIONS

Year 2008, Volume: 16 Issue: 1, 163 - 176, 01.03.2008

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the level, frequency and factors affecting the use of mathematics textbooks by mathematics teachers at primary education grades 6-8 and their expectations about these books. With this aim, a questionnaire was distributed to 93 mathematics teachers working in Erzurum city centre in 2005-2006 academic years. The data were analyzed and results were presented as percent and frequencies. The results showed that the level and the time of using textbooks by teachers are low, the time of using textbook is getting decrease when compared to previous years, the inadequacy of exercises and problems of textbooks and no consistency between textbooks and Student Selection and Placement Examination for Secondary Education Institutions OKS examination negatively affects the use of textbooks. Finally, it was found that mostly the textbooks are used for the purpose of giving homework.

İLKÖĞRETİM İKİNCİ KADEMESİNDE MATEMATİK ÖĞRETMENLERİNİN MATEMATİK DERS KİTABI KULLANIMINI ETKİLEYEN ETMENLER VE BEKLENTİLERİ

Year 2008, Volume: 16 Issue: 1, 163 - 176, 01.03.2008

Abstract

Bu araştırma ilköğretim ikinci kademe öğretmenlerinin matematik ders kitaplarını kullanma düzeyi, sıklığı, kitap kullanımlarını etkileyen faktörler ve ders kitabından beklentilerini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Bu araştırmaya yönelik olarak, 2005-2006 öğretim yılında Erzurum il merkezinde görev yapan 93 matematik öğretmenine anket uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin analizinde yüzde ve frekans kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda öğretmenlerin ders kitabı kullanma oranı ve sürelerinin düşük olduğu, önceki yıllara göre ders kitabı kullanma sürelerinde azalma olduğu, ders kitaplarında yer alan alıştırma ve problemlerin yetersizliği ve Ortaöğretim Kurumları Öğrenci Seçme ve Yerleştirme Sınavı OKS sınav sistemine uymamasının ders kitabını kullanımlarını olumsuz yönde etkilediği ve ders kitaplarını genellikle ödev verme amaçlı kullandıkları belirlenmiştir.
