Analyzing The Metaphorical Perception of Secondary Education Students Related to Mathematics Teacher and Mathematics Course
Öz
The main purpose of this research was to reveal the perceptions of secondary education
students related to the concepts of “mathematics teacher” and “mathematics course” through
metaphors. This research was designed qualitatively, and phenomenology research model
was used. In this research, the phenomenon that was focused during the research process was
determined as how secondary education students conceptualized their thoughts on mathematics
teacher and mathematics course through the metaphors. The attitudes towards the mathematics
course and mathematics teacher affect them mutually. Moreover, 6th grade students resembled
the mathematics course to the science course. Upon emergence of this situation, too much
numerical subjects in the 6th grade Science and Technology curriculum and encountering the
subjects in mathematics course as well as in the science course was efficient. In accordance
with these obtained results, it can be suggested to search for the real factors that cause the
perception of mathematic course’s being difficult and boring in some students’ mind.
