The aim of this study is to systematically review research conducted on proportional reasoning skills between 2007 and 2024. Proportional reasoning is a critical competency in mathematics education, serving as the foundation for many advanced mathematical skills. A total of 88 studies obtained from the Web of Science and Scopus databases were analyzed. These studies were examined in terms of their publication year, the journals they appeared in, their objectives, methodologies, sample levels, data collection tools, and findings. The results indicate that research on proportional reasoning has increased in recent years, with a particular focus on middle school students. Additionally, the most commonly employed methods were found to be experimental and correlational studies. The majority of studies showed that the approaches used to develop proportional reasoning skills had positive effects. Future research could focus on conducting more comprehensive and long-term studies that examine the variables used in studies exploring the relationship between proportional reasoning and other mathematical skills. Furthermore, greater attention could be given to the conditions under which effective approaches and methods are applied and how they are implemented in practice.

Orantısal Akıl Yürütme Üzerine Yapılan Araştırmalar: Sistematik Derleme

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, 2007-2024 yılları arasında orantısal akıl yürütme becerileri üzerine yapılan araştırmaların sistematik bir şekilde incelenmesidir. Orantısal akıl yürütme, matematik eğitiminde önemli bir rol oynayan ve birçok ileri düzey matematiksel becerinin temeli olan bir yetkinliktir. Çalışmada Web of Science ve Scopus veri tabanlarından elde edilen 88 araştırma incelenmiştir. Bu araştırmalar, yıllara, yayınlandıkları dergilere, amaçlarına, yöntemlerine, sınıf düzeylerine, veri toplama araçlarına, veri analiz yöntemlerine ve elde edilen sonuçlara göre analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular, orantısal akıl yürütme üzerine yapılan çalışmaların son yıllarda arttığını ve en çok ortaokul düzeyindeki öğrencilere odaklandığını göstermektedir. Ayrıca, en yaygın kullanılan yöntemlerin deneysel ve ilişkisel tarama çalışmaları olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmaların çoğunluğu, orantısal akıl yürütme becerilerinin geliştirilmesinde kullanılan yaklaşımların olumlu etkiler gösterdiğini ortaya koymuştur. Orantısal akıl yürütmenin, öğrencilerin diğer matematiksel becerileriyle olan bağlantısını inceleyen araştırmalarda kullanılan değişkenlere odaklanarak daha kapsamlı ve uzun süreli çalışmalar yürütülebilir. Etkili olduğu belirlenen yaklaşım ve yöntemlerin hangi koşullarda ve nasıl uygulandığı daha derinlemesine ele alınabilir.
