Being able to move between different representations levels (macroscopic, submicroscopic, and symbolic) is important to understand a chemical phenomenon meaningfully. The current study investigated how pre-service science teachers moved from symbolic representation to sub-microscopic representation. A total of 205 pre-service science teachers,…

Despite the significance of incorporating technology into geometry instruction, many teachers still find it difficult to teach geometry using technology. This study employed a techno- pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) survey of 70 pre-service mathematics teachers (29 males, 41 females) from a public university. The goal was to determine which…

The aim of this study is to obtain information about students' definitions, mistakes, misconceptions, and van Hiele geometry thinking levels by using the definitions of 4th grade students for geometric shapes of rectangle, square, isosceles triangle, equilateral triangle, and scalene triangle. The study was carried out with 156 primary school 4th…

This study investigated the geometry knowledge of in-service primary school teachers through measuring both their content knowledge (CK) and pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) using a descriptive and qualitative approach. The participants of the study were 23 primary school teachers who work in public schools with teaching experience that ranges…

The purpose of this research is to determine the knowledge, perceptions and misconceptions of pre-service primary school teachers about geometric objects through mind maps. For this purpose, the research was designed with a case study, one of the qualitative research methods. The study group of the research consists of 52 pre-service primary…

Testing-assessment is needed to determine whether the education process is successful or at what level. For this reason, it is of great importance to determine the achievement level of the students at the secondary level. The purpose of this study is to develop an achievement test consisting of multiple choice questions about 'quadrilateral'…

This study is a part of a large scale project in which an action research design is used to teach proof to 11th grade students. This part of the project aims to identify students' comprehension level through five proof comprehension tests developed by the researchers based on the National Geometry Curriculum. Data were analyzed by considering the…

"Mathematical knowledge for teaching" is a concept indicating the requirement for a specific kind of knowledge required to teach mathematics. Mathematical knowledge for teaching necessitates a more complex structure than what is required to carry out mathematical tasks and the knowledge to do that. The purpose of this study is to realize…

The present study aimed to examine the geometric thinking levels of elementary mathematics teacher candidates and to reveal the relationship between the participants' geometric thinking levels and their self-efficacy beliefs towards geometry. The sample group of the study was comprised of 85 freshman students studying in the elementary mathematics…

This paper aims to reveal primary teachers knowledge of the quadrilaterals about the concept of quadrilaterals by examining the definitions of the quadrilaterals. A total of four primary teachers, 1 female and 3 male teachers, participated in the study which determined by maximum diversity sampling. The data collection tool consisted of four…

This study aimed to investigate the effect of instruction based on metacognitive strategies on geometrical problem-solving performance of mathematics preservice teachers. Geometrical problem-solving tests developed by the researchers were applied as pre-test and post-test before and after the experimental instruction. Preservice teachers predicted…

This study aims to investigate the concept images of prospective mathematics teachers about the concept of diagonal. With this aim, case study method was used in the study. The participants of the study were consisted of 7 prospective teachers educating at the Department of Mathematics Education. Criterion sampling method was used to select the…

The aim of this study is to examine pre-service mathematics teachers' conceptual structures about "geometry". Qualitative research methodology has been adopted in the study. The data of the study is obtained from mathematics teacher candidates who have been students at the faculties of education of an Anatolian university in the academic…

The subject of molecular structures is one of the most important and complex subject in chemistry which a majority of the undergraduate students have difficulties to understand its concepts and characteristics correctly. To comprehend the molecular structures and their characteristics the students need to understand related subjects such as Lewis…

This qualitative case study investigated teachers' Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) for teaching high school geometry in Turkey. Four TPACK components and their corresponding five TPACK level descriptions were used for examining three geometry teachers' TPACK through their technological instructional plans, microteaching…
