Investigation of the Processes of Solving Problems in Analytical Geometry of Pre-service Elementary Mathematics Teachers

Abstract

This study was carried out to study the process of solving the problem of analytical geometry by candidates for elementary school mathematics teachers. The study used the case study model, one of the qualitative research methods. The study involved six mathematics teachers who completed a course in analytic geometry at the 2nd-grade level of a state university. Research data was collected using activity cards and a thinking-aloud protocol. Content analysis was applied to the obtained data. As a result of the study, the participants needed help understanding and solving problems of analytical geometry; It is established that there are some misconceptions in connection with these difficulties. It is determined that teachers participating in the study can understand the concept of dimension and think algebraically. In addition, it was found that some of the teachers who participated in the study experienced anxiety when faced with analytical geometry and could not regulate their emotions.
