Pre-service Teachers’ Noticing of 7th Grade Students’ Errors and Misconceptions about the Subject of Equations
Abstract
Teacher
noticing is one of the issues that math educators have given importance
recently. The noticing-raising skills that require a professional vision beyond
their use in daily life requires a series of activities within the framework of
prior learning by the teacher, then interpreting and providing appropriate
feedback. Investigating the level of awareness in pre-service teacher trainees
will provide a foresight for future education. In the field of algebra
learning, it has been identified in previous studies that primary school
students experience various misconceptions and have a trouble. Therefore, the
aim of this study is to determine the misconceptions and errors of 7th grade
students about equations and to observe their noticing of these errors and
misconceptions. Participants of the study, in which qualitative research
methods have been adopted, are 3 student and 3 mathematics teacher candidates
with medium and high academic achievement. As a means of data collection, in
the scale of error and misconceptions about equations was utilized and teacher
candidates' awareness of these responses was investigated. At the end of the
study, it was found that the success of the attending step was not sufficient
for the other steps.
