Article Citation - WoS: 3Supporting Novice Mathematics Teachers: the Impact of an E- Mentoring and Video-Based Professional Development Program on Teachers? Noticing Skills(Modestum Ltd, 2023-04-01) Demirel, Damla; Guzel, Esra Bukova; Güzel, Esra Bukova; Güler, Mustafa; Aslan-Tutak, Fatma; Guler, Mustafa; Baki, Mujgan; Celik, Derya; Celik, Aytug Ozaltun; Taylan, Rukiye Didem; Çelik, DeryaThis paper focuses on e-mentoring of novice mathematics teachers as professional development, and reports findings of the e-mentoring practices enriched with videos to improve noticing skills of novice teachers. A single group pre- and post-test study was conducted with the participation of 17 mentees, novice middle school mathematics teachers. Participants' noticing skills were assessed through a whole-class teaching video shown to them before and after the intervention. The responses of the teachers to the video assessment were analyzed considering attending, interpreting and decision-making dimensions of noticing. The results revealed that the ementoring program improved the novice mathematics teachers' noticing skills significantly in all dimensions.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 2A New Learning Community for Educating Future Teachers: Online Baboratory School(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2022-07-25) Pekkan, Tunç Zelha; Taylan, Didem Rukiye; Tunc-Pekkan, Zelha; Taylan, Rukiye DidemTo provide quality mathematics education for disadvantaged groups of middle school students and continue to offer quality practicum experience to future teachers during the Covid 19 outbreak, we founded the Online Laboratory School. This school was free and open to public school students: 130 middle school students throughout Turkey attended for a 5-week period. There were 25 pre-service teachers actively involved in teaching, under the close supervision of 7 university supervisors. The entire gamut of planning, teaching and reflection sessions for each virtual class were recorded via an e-learning platform. Additionally, survey data was collected from the participating students, parents, pre-service teachers and supervisors. Our findings indicate that we were able to build a unique and virtual learning community. While pre-service teachers and middle school students benefited the most, university supervisors also reported improving their skills on when and how to give feedback. We describe how the school functioned and the range of opportunities it provided to all participants considering situated-learning perspectives and building online-learning communities. We also discuss how this model can be used in the future as a strong asset for teacher education programs and adaptation of fieldwork practices.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Preservice Teachers' Understandings of Division and Ratios in Forming Proportional Relationships(Springer, 2022-03-22) Ölmez, İbrahim BurakThis study aimed at investigating how preservice teachers' understandings of division and reasoning about ratios support and constrain their formation of proportional relationships in terms of quantities. Six preservice teachers from a middle-grade preparation program in the USA were selected purposefully based on their mathematics performance in a previous course. An explanatory case study with multiple cases was used to make comparisons within and across cases. Two semi-structured interviews were conducted with each pair. The results revealed that preservice teachers who did not explicitly identify different meanings for division struggled to differentiate between the two perspectives on ratios. The results also showed that those teachers had difficulty forming proportional relationships while solving the proportion tasks. These results suggest that explicit identification of the meanings for both types of division is critical to keeping the two perspectives on ratios separate, which is a key aspect for a robust understanding of proportional relationships.
