ELEMENTARY MATHEMATICS TEACHER CANDIDATES' ATTITUDES TOWARDS PROOF AND PROVING

Öz

In this research, in order to determine the opinions of teacher candidates from elementary mathematics education towards mathematical proof and proving, identification of situation was madeAn attitude scale towards mathematical proof and proving was developed through the survey which Morali et al. (2006) developed from Almeida's study and literature. Validity of construction of the scale was done in three ways: (1) factor analysis, (2)item-total correlation and (3) distinctiveness of items and two factors were determined: "attitude towards proving" and "general aspect to the proof". Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient of the scale was found as 0.897 and this value demonstrated that the scale was reliable. To analyze the data t-test for independent samples and MANOVA in SPSS 12.0 package program were used. By the t-test for independent samples it was seen that school year and gender were effective on the scores taken from attitude scale of teacher candidates. According to the MANOVA analysis, it was found that the scores of "attitude towards proving" and "general aspects to proof" were effective on school year and gender.
