Students Perspectives in Mathematics
Öz
Mathematics
is one of the important tools we use in solving the problems in our daily lives
as much as we use in science (Baykul, 2000). There is no doubt that teachers
play a significant role in mathematics teaching. Taking into account the importance of
mathematics and mathematics education, the opinions of secondary school
students on mathematics teachers and their attitudes in mathematics classes
form the basis of this study. The aim of this research is to determine the
relationship between secondary school students and mathematics teachers by
examining the attitudes of secondary school students in mathematics lessons and
their opinions about mathematics teachers.
The study was carried out with a total of 60 students, 30 girls and 30
boys in Grade 7 and Grade 8 in a secondary school in Bafra District of Samsun
Province during the first semester of the 2017-2018 academic year. This study
is based on the case study, one of the quantitative research methods. During
the study conducted for 8 weeks, "Teacher Evaluation Survey" published
by MoNE (Ministry of National Education) and "Mathematical Attitude
Scale" developed by Baykul (2006) was applied to the students. The
obtained data were analyzed by IBM SPSS 15.0 package program. As a result of
the analyses, it was determined that there was no significant difference
regarding the opinions of students towards their teachers and the attitudes of
students in mathematics in terms of gender and class variables. Moreover, it
was found that there was no relation between the attitudes towards mathematics
and the opinions about the teacher.
Students expressed positive opinions about their teachers such as
teachers are allowing different ideas, encouraging learning, providing
effective mathematics teaching and establishing good communication.
