GeoGebra Yazılımının Matematik Kaygısı ve Matematik Öğretme Kaygısına Etkisinin İncelenmesi

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, GeoGebra yazılımı kullanılarak tasarlanan öğrenme ve öğretme sürecinin öğretmen adaylarının matematik kaygısı ve matematik öğretme kaygısına etkisini incelemektir. Çalışma nicel ve nitel metotların birlikte kullanıldığı karma yönteme dayalı olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmanın katılımcılarını 40 matematik öğretmeni adayı oluşturmaktadır. Nicel veriler matematik kaygı ölçeği ve matematik öğretme kaygı ölçeği ile nitel veriler ise açık uçlu sorulardan oluşan bir görüş formu ile toplanmıştır. Nicel veriler ilişkili örneklemler için t-testi ve Wilcoxon işaretli sıralar testi ile analiz edilmiştir. Nitel veriler ise içerik analizi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Verilerin analizi sonucunda, GeoGebra yazılımıyla tasarlanan öğrenme ve öğretme sürecinin öğretmen adaylarının matematik kaygıları ve matematik öğretme kaygılarının azaltılmasına katkı sağladığı belirlenmiştir. Nitel bulgulara göre, bu kaygı türlerinin azalmasında GeoGebra yazılımının matematiksel bilginin dinamik bir ortamda yapılandırılmasına katkı sağlamasının önemli rol oynadığı ortaya çıkmıştır.

The Investigation of the Effect of GeoGebra Software on Mathematics Anxiety and Mathematics Teaching Anxiety

Öz

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of learning and teaching process which was designed by using GeoGebra on pre-service teachers’ mathematics anxiety and their mathematics teaching anxiety. In the study, mixed method research was used where both quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis procedures were combined. The participants of the study consisted of 40 pre-service mathematics teachers. Quantitative data were gathered by mathematics anxiety scale and mathematics teaching anxiety scale. The qualitative data were obtained by the open ended questionnaire. Quantitative data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed rank test and dependent t-test. Qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis. As a conclusion, it was found that the learning and teaching process designed with the help of GeoGebra software contributed to reduce pre-service teachers’ mathematics anxiety and mathematics teaching anxiety. Based on qualitative findings, it was found that building mathematical knowledge with GeoGebra software in the dynamic environment played a key role in decreasing these anxiety types.
