Abstract

The aim of the research is to examine the perspectives of teachers and preservice teachers in regard with models,mathematical models and mathematical modelling process in different variables terms and to compare them. In thisresearch that is having quantitative research design survey method, which is one of the descriptive research technic,survey method is used. Research is performed with 127 teacher and preservice teachers. It is benefitted from adifferent survey in the stage of data collection and open ended questions that is developed by the researcher. In theanalysis of the data, descriptive and inferential statistical methods and content analysis method were used. As a result,views of the teachers and preservice teachers regarding (mathematical) models and mathematical modelling showsdifferences according to some variables, however, it is not found out most significant differences in the views of theteachers and preservice teachers in regard with these subjects.

Highlights

  • Developing the main mathematical skills such as problem solving, connecting, reasoning and communication that are needed by individuals in our day is the requirement of age

  • 3.1 First Problem: Are the views of the teachers and preservice teachers about models and mathematical modelling process differ according to the different variables?

  • The views of the teachers and preservice teachers about models, mathematical models and mathematical modelling process is analysed according to the variables of gender, age, experience year, type of school and class level and the gained findings are presented respectively

Summary

Introduction

Developing the main mathematical skills such as problem solving, connecting, reasoning and communication that are needed by individuals in our day is the requirement of age. The need for individuals who are able to modelling mathematics and use it in problem solving is specified as general purpose in the Secondary Education Math Class Curriculum that is renewed in 2013 (MEB, 2013). On the other hand, modelling, which is a scientific study, is all of scientific operations used in the process of model creation (Justi & Gilbert, 2002). In this context, it can be made out that the purpose of modelling is model
