Article Citation - Scopus: 1Sixth-Grade Students’ Pattern Generalization Approaches(Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2023) Kama, Zeycan; Bostan, Mine Işıksal; Pekkan, Zelha Tunç; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Tunç Pekkan, ZelhaThis study investigates sixth-grade Turkish students’ pattern-generalization approaches among arithmetical generalization, algebraic generalization, and naïve induction. A qualitative case study design was employed. The data was collected from four sixth-grade students through the Pattern Questionnaire (PQ) and individual interviews based on the questionnaire. The findings revealed that all students generalized near terms using arithmetical generalization as the first step and then they mostly looked for a general rule through memorized procedures by skipping far term generalization. When they found the general rule, far terms were calculated by rote. In other words, students did not generalize the pattern to far terms using an algebraic generalization. The current study's findings would give valuable information to the mathematics educators regarding the necessity of avoiding creating a procedural instructional environment by focusing on the rote procedure of finding the general rule of a pattern. These findings would also expand the horizons of curriculum developers regarding the importance of objectives about both near terms and far term generalization by progressing from arithmetical generalization to algebraic generalization.Article Okulda Üniversite Modeli: Beşinci Sınıf Öğrencilerinin Kesir Bilgisi Gelişiminden Yansımalar(Kastamonu Üniversitesi, 2017) Taylan, Didem; Tunç-Pekkan, Zelha; Aydın, Utkun; Birgili, Bengi; Özcan, Mustafa; Taylan, Rukiye Didem; Pekkan, Zelha TunçThrough 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.
