                            <p>Diskalkuli, matematiksel kavramları anlama ve matematiksel becerileri edinmede zorluk yaşayan öğrencileri etkileyen bir öğrenme bozukluğudur. Bu çalışma, ilköğretim matematik öğretmenlerinin diskalkuli hakkındaki farkındalıklarını, deneyimlerini ve önerilerini belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmada nitel araştırma desenlerinden fenomenoloji deseni kullanılmış ve amaçlı örnekleme tercih edilmiştir. Farklı okullardan 15 ilköğretim matematik öğretmeniyle yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler, araştırmacılar tarafından çevrim içi olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma, öğretmenlerin diskalkuli hakkındaki bilgi düzeylerini, lisans eğitiminde diskalkuli kavramıyla tanışmalarını ve diskalkulik öğrencilere nasıl daha iyi destek sağlanabileceğini araştıran sorularla yapılandırılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler içerik analizi yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Araştırmada geçerlilik ve güvenilirlik stratejileri takip edilerek inandırıcılık, aktarılabilirlik, tutarlılık ve teyit edilebilirlik ölçütleri kullanılmıştır. Bulgular, öğretmenlerin çoğunluğunun diskalkuli hakkında genel bir bilgiye sahip olduğunu, ancak diskalkuli tanısı almış öğrencileri sınıf ortamında tanımakta ve desteklemekte zorlandıklarını göstermiştir. Ayrıca diskalkuli tanısı almış öğrencilerin eğitiminde daha iyi başarı elde edilmesine yardımcı olabilecek eğitim politikaları önerileri sunulmuştur.</p></trans-abstract>

This study investigates elementary mathematics teachers&#039; awareness, experiences, and suggestions regarding dyscalculia. The research employed a phenomenology design with purposive sampling, focusing on elementary mathematics teachers as participants. The researchers conducted online semi-structured interviews with 15 elementary mathematics teachers from different schools. The study explored teachers&#039; knowledge of dyscalculia, their exposure to the concept during undergraduate education, and strategies for supporting students with dyscalculia. Data analysis was performed using content analysis methods, following validity and reliability strategies that included credibility, transferability, consistency, and confirmability criteria. The findings revealed that while most teachers possessed general knowledge about dyscalculia, they struggled to identify and support students diagnosed with the condition in their classrooms. The study concluded with recommendations for educational policies to improve academic outcomes for students with dyscalculia.</p></abstract>
