INVESTIGATION OF THE PROBLEM POSING SKILLS ABOUT TABLES AND GRAPHICS

Year 2020, Issue: 83, 299 - 322, 30.09.2020

Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the 5th grade students' problem-posing skills appropriate to the problem situations (unstructured, semi-structured and structured) about tables and graphs. The method of the present study was qualitative research method, because it enables to examine the problem-posing skills of the students in detail. In a public school, a total of 15 students, 5 of whom participated pilot study, were included to this study. In order to achieve the aim of the study, the students were given a scale of 9 problems, which was prepared in line with the pilot study and expert opinions. The students were asked to pose as much as problems related to scoreboard, frequency table and column graph. After the problems were posed, semi-structured interview form was applied to the students. Content analysis method was used for data analysis. When the findings gathered from the data collection tool were examined, it was seen that the students had difficulty in posing a problem sentence and a large part of the question sentences generated were related to the exercise category. With respect to data gathered, problem posing scale could be used in further studies that would study problem posing. Besides, instructional processes and including this topic in textbooks would be the suggestions of this study.
