Experimental Study on Mathematical Problem Solving Approach with Pre-service Elementary Teachers
Öz
The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of problem
solving approaches on pre-service elementary teachers’ basic mathematics
achievement and problem-solving performance. The study has been conducted as
quasi - experimental design with 110 elementary school pre-service teachers at
a public University in Central Anatolia Region.
The study has lasted 12 weeks. Experimental group has been instructed by
questioning problem solving approach while control group has been instructed by
traditional problem solving approach. The data have been collected through Basic Mathematics Achievement Test,
Mathematical Problem Solving Test and has
been analyzed by using multivariate analysis of covariance. The results have revealed that
questioning problem solving approach has a statistically significant effect on
pre-service elementary school teachers’ basic mathematics achievement and
problem solving performance (The effect size has been found as h2=0.265).
