Öğrencilerin Matematiksel Düşünmelerine Yönelik Öğretmenlerin Farkındalık Düzeylerinin İncelenmesi: Ders İmecesi Modeli

Öz

Bu çalışma ile altı öğretmenin öğrencilerin matematiksel düşünmelerine yönelik farkındalık düzeylerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada dört öğretmen ders imecesi mesleki gelişim sürecine katılırken, kalan iki öğretmen ise katılmamıştır. Mesleki gelişim sürecine dâhil olan öğretmenlerle gerçekleştirilen ders imecesi çalışmaları tamamlandıktan yaklaşık iki ay sonra,  altı öğretmene video kayıtları izletilerek öğretim sürecine yönelik değerlendirmelerini rapor haline getirmeleri istenmiştir. Nitel araştırma desenlerinden özel durum (örnek olay) çalışmasının kullanıldığı çalışmanın veri toplama araçlarını öğretmenlere izletilen video kayıtları, öğretmenlerin değerlendirme raporları ve öğretmenlerle gerçekleştirilen yapılandırılmamış görüşmeler oluşturmaktadır. Öğretmenlerin ifadelerine bağlı olarak öğretim sürecindeki farkındalık düzeylerini yorumlamak amacıyla van Es (2011) tarafından geliştirilen teorik çerçeveden faydalanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular doğrultusunda, ders imecesi sürecine dâhil olan öğretmenlerin farkındalık düzeylerinin sürece dahil olmayan öğretmenlerin farkındalık düzeylerinden daha fazla olduğu söylenebilir ve ders imecesi mesleki gelişim sürecinin öğrenci düşünüşü üzerine öğretmenlerin farkındalık düzeylerini arttırdığını göstermektedir.

Investigation of the Noticing Levels of Teachers about Students’ Mathematical Thinking: A Lesson Study Model

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to investigate the noticing levels of six teachers about students’ mathematical thinking. The four of teachers participated in the lesson study professional development   process, and the rest did not participate in the process of lesson study. Nearly two months after the lesson study implementations were completed with the participant teachers, these six teachers were asked to write a report to evaluate the teaching process after they would watch the video recorded lessons. The data collection tools of this case study were the video recordings which the participants watched, participants’ evaluation reports and unstructured interviews. The theoretical framework developed by van Es (2011) was used to interpret the effects of lesson study process on the teachers’ noticing levels towards their students’ mathematical thinking. The findings showed that the noticing levels of the teachers, who participated in the lesson study process, appeared to be higher than the non-participant teachers. The findings also showed that lesson study professional development process increased teachers’ noticing levels on students’ mathematical thinking.
