ERROR ANALYSIS OF EIGHTH GRADE STUDENTS FOR NON-ROUTIN PROBLEM SOLUTIONS

Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to determine the errors made by eighth grade students while solving non-routine problems. For this purpose, an exploratory sequential mixed method design was adopted in the study. Two questions determined in the context of non-routine problems from TIMSS 2011 and TIMMS 2015 were applied to 181 eighth grade students. Afterwards semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 students in order to examine the errors made by the students in detail, and these interviews were recorded by video. Spearman correlation coefficient and chi-square test were used in the analysis of the quantitative data. Qualitative data were analyzed by descriptive analysis technique. According to the results of the study, it was determined that the errors students make while solving non-routine problems differ significantly according to their mathematics achievements. It is another result that these errors are grouped under the categories of reading, comprehension, transformation, process skills, encoding, control and personal errors. According to the results, it is suggested that students should gain the habit of controlling problem solutions, while doing this, controlling not only the processes but also the understanding and planning of the problem.
