Examining the Studies on the Advantages of Rural Areas in Mathematics Education

Abstract

Problems related to education are mostly addressed in rural areas. In the literature, it is stated that qualified (mathematics) education(in) can also be provided in rural areas. The ability to provide qualified education in the countryside depends on being aware of the advantages provided by the countryside in education and taking advantage of these advantages, as well as identifying and solving problems. In our study, the advantages of rural education expressed in national and international literature were compiled using the document review model of qualitative research. As a result of the inductive content analysis, six themes expressing the educational advantages provided by the countryside were created as healthy environment and nutrition opportunities, local community values, the social function of the school is strong, teachers are effective in the local role, the number of students per teacher is low and a rich concrete living experience. The proposals expressed in the literature that will increase the use of the advantages provided by education in rural areas have been presented by comparing them with village institutes.
