The importance of the concept of mathematics literacy and the fact that it is seen as a remedy for eliminating the gap between school mathematics and life necessitated a more detailed discussion of the concept. In this study, it is aimed to determine students’ thoughts and evaluations about mathematical literacy problems in a research process in which mathematical literacy problems are solved with middle school students. The study group consisted of 105 students: 27 fifth grade, 28 sixth grade, 25 seventh grade and 25 eighth grade. In the 98-hour mathematical literacy problem solving application, the data obtained from the diaries filled out by the students on a weekly basis were examined and their opinions about mathematical literacy problems were determined. In this context, students’ views (i) assessments about the solution of mathematical literacy problems (ii) assessments of the characteristics of mathematical literacy problems (iii) other assessments are divided into categories. The students’ views also pointed out that there is a suitable environment for mathematics literacy applications. The results were found to be highly consistent with the mathematical literacy literature.

Bireyin gelişen ve yeni beceriler gerektiren dünyaya uyum sağlaması için okullarda çok sayıda eleştirel düşünme deneyimi yaşatılıp, yaşamsal durumlar üzerinde uygulamalar yapılması, ilgili literatürde vurgulanmaktadır. Öğrencilerin bilgilerini bir uygulama alanından diğerine etkili bir şekilde aktarabilmeleri için, pek çok farklı durum ve bağlam içeren problemleri çözme deneyimi yaşamaları gerekir. Bu çalışma kapsamında ortaokul öğrencileri ile MO problemleri çözüldüğü bir araştırma sürecinde, öğrencilerin MO problemleri hakkındaki düşünceleri ve değerlendirmelerini belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma grubu 27 beşinci sınıf, 28 altıncı sınıf, 25 yedinci sınıf ve 25 sekizinci sınıf olmak üzere 105 öğrenciden oluşmaktadır. Yapılan toplam 98 saatlik MO problemi çözme uygulamasında süreç içinde öğrencilerin haftalık olarak doldurdukları günlüklerden elde edilen veriler incelenerek ortaokul öğrencilerinin MO problemleri hakkındaki görüşleri belirlenmiştir. Bu kapsamda öğrenci görüşleri (i) MO problemlerinin çözümü hakkındaki değerlendirmeler (ii) MO problemlerinin karakteristiğine ilişkin değerlendirmeler (iii) diğer değerlendirmeler şeklinde kategorilere ayrılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçların matematik okuryazarlığı literatürü ile yüksek oranda tutarlı olduğu belirlenmiştir.
