Bu çalışmada, ilköğretim matematik öğretmeni adaylarının matematiksel yaratıcılık ve yaratıcı matematik öğretmeni hakkındaki görüşleri incelenmiştir. Araştırmaya ilköğretim matematik öğretmenliği lisans programı 4. sınıfında öğrenim gören 61 öğretmen adayı katılmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri “Yaratıcılık Görüşme Formu” yardımıyla elde edilmiş ve verilerin analizinde NVivo 7 nitel veri analiz programından yararlanılmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına göre, öğretmen adaylarının matematiksel yaratıcılık kavramına ilişkin görüşleri bilişsel, duyuşsal ve beceri kategorileri altında toplanarak incelenmiştir. Yaratıcı matematik öğretmenine ilişkin ise kişisel, öğrenci açısından ve öğretimsel boyutlarda öğretmen adayları görüşlerini ifade etmişlerdir. Ayrıca öğretmen adaylarının görüşleri ilgili alan yazında yer alan çalışmalarla karşılaştırılarak tartışılmış ve konuyla ilgilenen araştırmacılara öneriler sunulmuştur.

Anahtar Kelimeler

yaratıcılık, yaratıcı matematik öğretmeni, matematik eğitimi, matematik öğretmen adayı
