                            <p>Bu çalışmada 7. sınıf öğrencilerinin şekil örüntüsü problemlerinde görsel stratejileri kullanma durumlarının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden durum çalışması deseni kullanılmıştır. Çalışma ortaokul yedinci sınıfta öğrenim gören 12 öğrenci ile yürütülmüştür. Çalışmada 6 tane şekil örüntüsü problemini içeren veri toplama aracı kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada elde edilen verilerin analizinde, betimsel analiz yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Öğrencilerin örüntülerin kurallarını bulurken en çok sayısal belirgin stratejiyi kullandıkları tespit edilmiştir.  Çalışmada yapıcı, tamamlamaya dayalı yapıcı, dönüşüme dayalı yapıcı, yapıyı çözücü gibi görsel stratejilerin oldukça az kullanıldığı görülmüştür. Öğrenciler şekil örüntüsü problemlerinde ağırlıklı olarak şeklin yapısını dikkate almamışlar ve şekillerdeki sayısal değerlere odaklanarak problemleri çözmeye çalışmışlardır. Öğrencilerin örüntü problemlerinin çözümünde çoğunlukla doğru cevaplara ulaştıkları görülmüştür.  Bu çalışmada ulaşılan sonuçlar doğrultusunda, öğrencilerin şekil örüntülerindeki sayısal değerlerin yanı sıra şeklin yapısına da odaklanmalarının sağlanması önerilmektedir. Öğrencileri görsel stratejileri kullanmaya teşvik etmek için bu stratejilerin güçlü yönleri ön plana çıkarılması da önerilmektedir.</p></trans-abstract>

A case study design, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the study. The study was conducted with 12 students enrolled in the seventh grade of a middle school. In the study, a data collection tool including 6 visual pattern problems was used. In the analysis of the data obtained in the study, the descriptive analysis method was used. It was determined that the students used the numerical explicit strategy the most while finding the rules of the patterns. In the study, it was observed that visual strategies such as constructive, transformative constructive, auxiliary constructive, deconstructive were used very little. Students mostly did not consider the structure of the shape in the shape pattern problems and tried to solve the problems by focusing on the numerical values in the visual. It was observed that students mostly reached the correct answers in solving the pattern problems. In line with the results obtained in this study, it is recommended that students focus on the structure of the shape as well as the numerical values in the visual patterns. It is also recommended that the strengths of these strategies be highlighted in order to encourage students to use visual strategies.</p></abstract>
