Article Citation - Scopus: 5Predicting Undergraduate Students' Mathematical Thinking About Derivative Concept: a Multilevel Analysis of Personal and Institutional Factors(Elsevier BV, 2014) Ubuz, Behiye; Aydın, UtkunThis cross-sectional study examines the determinants of mathematical thinking aspects at two levels: within-classroom level and between-classroom level. We hypothesized that personal factors (gender, socioeconomic status (parents' educational attainment), current cumulative grade point average, prior mathematic achievement (high school mathematics achievement)) and institutional factors (faculty/school affiliation, grade level) have concomitant associations with students' mathematical thinking about the derivative. The sample consisted of 2424 undergraduates from 130 classrooms. Multilevel modeling showed that students' mathematical thinking about the derivative varied primarily as a function of their gender and cumulative grade point average (within-classroom level) and of their faculty affiliation (between-classroom level). Parents' educational attainment and high school mathematics achievement at the within-classroom level, and grade level at the between-classroom level were only moderately associated with different mathematical thinking aspects. Methodological and practical implications of the findings are further discussed. © 2014 Elsevier Inc.Conference Object Improving Fifth Grade Students’ Fractional Knowledge Through University-School Partnership(2016) Aydın, Utkun; Birgili, Bengi; Tunç-Pekkan, Zelha; Taylan, Rukiye Didem; Özcan, Mustafa...Conference Object Influence of a Number Line Based Model of Instruction on 5th Grade Students’ Use of Mathematical Language During Clinical Interviews(2016) Taylan, Rukiye Didem; Tunç-Pekkan, Zelha; Birgili, Bengi; Aydın, Utkun; Özcan, Mustafa...Conference Object Okulda Üniversite Modeli Çerçevesinde Matematik Öğretimi(2015) Tunç-Pekkan, Zelha; Aydın, Utkun; Taylan,Rukiye Didem; Birgili, Bengi...Book Part Article A Case Study of the Relationship Between Meaning and Formalism(Unspecified, 2017) Aydın, UtkunThe purpose of this study was to explore the sources of mathematical ideas in terms of the relationships between meaning and formalism and their role in the transition between elementary mathematics and advanced mathematics. The two participants were high school mathematics teachers, who vary in their levels of experience. Two forms of data were collected to obtain more in-depth data about the transformations within among mathematical ideas: a questionnaire including 14 open-ended mathematical tasks and semi-structured interviews. Results indicated that individuals had different ways in constructing mathematical ideas and that their mathematical ideas were derived from the transition between meaning and formalism.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5The Pisa Tasks: Unveiling Prospective Elementary Mathematics Teachers’ Difficulties With Contextual, Conceptual, and Procedural Knowledge(Taylor & Francis, 2019) Özgeldi, Meriç; Aydın, UtkunThe aim of this mixed methods study was to investigate the difficulties prospective elementary mathematics teachers have in solving the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2012 released items. A mathematics test consisting of 26 PISA items was administered, followed by interviews. Multiple data were utilized to provide rich insights into the types of mathematical knowledge that a particular item requires and prospective teachers’ difficulties in using these knowledge types. A sample of 52 prospective teachers worked the mathematics test, and 12 of them were interviewed afterwards. The data-sets were complementary: the quantitative data showed that PISA items could be categorized under contextual, conceptual, and procedural knowledge and indicated the most frequent difficulties in the combined contextual, conceptual, and procedural knowledge items. The qualitative data revealed that few prospective teachers could give mathematical explanations for conceptual knowledge items, and that their contextual knowledge was fragmented. Educational implications were discussed.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Impacts of a University-School Partnership on Middle School Students' Fractional Knowledge: a Quasiexperimental Study(Taylor & Francis, 2018) Tunç-Pekka, Zelha; Özcan, Mustafa; Birgili, Bengi; Taylan, Rukiye Didem; Aydın, Utkun; Tunc-Pekkan, ZelhaIn this quasiexperimental study, the authors investigated the effects of university within school partnership model, within which faculty members acted as teacher-researchers to improve fractional knowledge among middle school (Grades 5–8) students. Students in nine Grade 6 mathematics classes from two public middle schools in Turkey were assigned to two conditions: University within school model instruction and traditional instruction. Pre- and posttest data showed that the students exposed to instruction through the university within school partnership model significantly outperformed their traditional instruction peers on the fractions test. Results indicated that students made significant gains in fractional knowledge in the experimental classrooms and in different subgroup populations. It was suggested that a substantial amount of mathematical infusion through partnership could have a positive impact on middle school students' fractional knowledge. The educational implications of the study were also discussed.
