Okulda Üniversite Modeli: Beşinci Sınıf Öğrencilerinin Kesir Bilgisi Gelişiminden Yansımalar
(Kastamonu Üniversitesi, 2017) Taylan, Didem; Tunç-Pekkan, Zelha; Aydın, Utkun; Birgili, Bengi
Through a university-school partnership, the aim of the present study was to investigate the efforts from University within School Model-based instruction, within which faculty members acted as teacher-researchers, to improve fifth grade students’ fractional knowledge. During 2014-2015, 220 fifth grade students from 2 public middle schools in İstanbul participated in the study. Two groups were selected as experimental (n= 4 classrooms) and control (n= 5 classrooms). In the experimental groups fractions was taught by teacher-researchers with University within School Model-based instruction, whereas in the control groups the fractions unit was taught by the mathematics teachers with traditional instruction. Data were analyzed by performing Independent Samples t-Test and Two-Factor ANCOVA. Additionally, students’ reflections were presented in order to provide readers with an indepth understanding of the implementation. Results revealed that University within School Model-based instruction, as compared to traditional instruction, had a significant effect on students’ fractional knowledge. Students’ reflections showed that University within School Model-based instruction improved their interest. Educational and methodological implications of the study were discussed.
Preservice Teachers' Math Teaching Anxiety in an Online Laboratory School
(2022) Ölmez, İbrahim Burak; Pekkan, Tunç Zelha; Taylan, Didem; Birgili, Bengi
The purpose of this study was to examine preservice teachers’ math teaching anxiety, to explore the relationships between math teaching anxiety and several variables, and to understand how preservice teachers’ math teaching anxiety changed during eight-weeks of the Online Laboratory School (OLS) within a university. We administered the Math Teaching Anxiety scale with 14 items to 43 preservice teachers by adapting Hadley and Dorward’s (2011) scale. The results revealed that on average, preservice teachers had math teaching anxiety from “a little” to “a moderate amount” degree before the OLS and their math teaching anxiety did not significantly change during the OLS. Moreover, math teaching anxiety was only significantly correlated with the number of methods courses completed so far.
