Üstün Yetenekli Öğrencilerin Karşılaştıkları Matematik Problemleri İle İlgili Bilişsel Öngörüleri

Öz

Üstün yetenekli öğrenciler; çoğunlukla, meraklı, zeki, motive olmuş ve başarıya odaklanmış olarak tarif edilmektedir. Bu gruptaki öğrencilerin neden daha başarılı oldukları sorusuna henüz tatmin edici bir cevap / cevaplar bulunamamıştır. Bu araştırmanın amacı, üstün yetenekli öğrencilerin karşılaştıkları matematik problemleri ile ilgili bilişsel öngörülerini derinlemesine ve detaylı olarak ortaya koymaktır. Onuncu sınıfa devam eden üç üstün yetenekli öğrenci ile 10 tane problem çözme oturumu gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, üstün yetenekli öğrencilerin; kendilerine yöneltilen bazı problemlerin benzerleri ile hangi ortamlarda, nasıl karşılaştıklarını ve çözüm yolunda attıkları adımları detaylı bir şekilde hatırladıkları görülmüştür. Araştırmada ilk defa karşılaştıkları bazı problemler için çözüm planı üretemedikleri, bazıları için ise üretebildikleri durumlar görülmüştür. Diğer taraftan plan üretebildikleri bu tür problemler için çoğunlukla birden fazla çözüm yolu önermeleri dikkat çekmiştir.
