    Teachers' Attention To and Flexibility With Referent Units
    (Springer, 2021-07-04) Ölmez, İbrahim Burak; Çopur-Genctürk, Yasemin
    Attending to the whole unit that a number refers to in a mathematical problem situation and showing flexibility in coordinating different units are foundational for mathematical understanding. In this study, we explored teachers’ attention to and flexibility with referent units in situations involving fractions and fraction multiplication. Using data collected across the USA from 246 mathematics teachers in Grades 3–7 where fractions are taught, we found that teachers’ attention to and flexibility with referent units were related to each other as well as to teachers’ overall knowledge of fractions.

    Enhancing Prospective Mathematics Teachers’ Noticing Skills Through Online Laboratory School Activities
    (PME, 2022) Ölmez, İbrahim Burak; Taylan, Rukiye Didem; Tunç-Pekkan, Zelha; Birgili, Bengi
    This study investigated how prospective mathematics teachers’ (PMT) noticing skills, (i.e., attending, interpretation, and decision-making) were influenced through online laboratory school (OLS) activities. OLS provided PMTs opportunities for online fieldwork and work with students. The activities included lesson planning with peers under the supervision of academicians and experienced teachers, teaching, reflection and getting feedback. PMTs’ reflections on a video-taped lesson served as the pre-post assessment of the intervention. Quantitative analyses of data indicated PMTs showed statistically significant improvement in both interpretation and decision-making. Attending, on the other hand, was improved but not in a statistically significant way.

    Geçmiş çalışmalar, öğretmen adaylarının teori ve pratiği birleştirme becerisinin, derste öğrendiklerinipratiğe dökebilmek için artan öneminden bahsetmektedir. Bu çalışma, 23 matematik öğretmenliğiadayının bir matematik öğretmen eğitimi programındaki ders ve çevrim-içi matematik öğretimi alandeneyimlerini birleştirme becerisini incelemiştir. Bu çalışmanın verisini, öğretmen adaylarının birdönem boyu süren çevrim-içi ders verme deneyiminden önce gerçekleşen 24 video-kayıtlı ders planlamatoplantısının transkripleri ve Çevrim-içi Laboratuar Okulu’ndaki çevrim-içi ders anlatımlarından sonragerçekleşen 9 video-kayıtlı tüm sınıfın dahil olduğu tartışma toplantılarının transkripleri kapsamaktadır.Ayrıca, bu çalışmanın verisini öğretmen adaylarının çevrim-içi ders anlatımlarından sonra dersanlatımlarındaki ilginç ve önemli buldukları durumlar üzerine yazdıkları kısa notları da içermektedir.Sonuçlar, öğretmen adaylarının sıklıkla teori ve pratik arasındaki bağlantıları kurmakta zorlandıklarınıgöstermekte ve öğretmen eğitimcilerinin matematik öğretimi alan deneyimleri ödevlerinde daha fazladers entegrasyon fırsatlarını kullanmasını önermektedir. Ders öğretim üyelerinin amaçları, öğretmenadaylarının düşünümleri, ders planları ve tüm sınıfın dahil olduğu tartışma toplantıları gibi birden fazlaveri kaynaklarını kullanan bu çalışma, eğitim araştırması alanındaki var olan mesafenin kapanması içindeğerli bir nitel kanıt sunmaktadır

    Preservice Teachers' Understandings of Division and Ratios in Forming Proportional Relationships
    (Springer, 2022-03-22) Ölmez, İbrahim Burak
    This 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.

    An Online Laboratory School Research on Pre-Service Mathematics Teachers’ Experiences and Mathematics Teaching Anxiety
    (Springer, 2022-11-04) Ölmez, İbrahim Burak; Taylan, Rukiye Didem; Pekkan, Tunç Zelha; Tunc-Pekkan, Zelha
    During the COVID-19 pandemic, we founded an Online Laboratory School (OLS) under the roof of a university in Turkey to support students from public schools that were not technologically prepared for an online education and to provide an opportunity for our pre-service teachers (PSTs) to continue their internship by teaching online. The purpose of this research, consisting of two studies, was to examine experiences of 43 PSTs (first-, third- and fourth-years) during the OLS period of 8 weeks and how the OLS affected their mathematics teaching anxiety during Fall 2020. In the first study, we administered a survey to inquire into PSTs’ views on their experiences at the OLS, and in the second study we examined their mathematics teaching anxiety before and after the OLS experience using another survey. One main result was that the OLS experience served as an effective introduction to the profession for first-year PSTs and fourth- and third-year PSTs reported learning in-depth about online teaching in terms of the planning, teaching, and reflecting cycle. Another main result was that PSTs had mathematics teaching anxiety from “a little” to “a moderate amount” before the OLS and their teaching anxiety did not significantly change during the OLS period of 8 weeks. PSTs experienced highest mathematics teaching anxiety when they were observed and evaluated by supervisors during their teaching. The implications of these findings are discussed for teacher education programs.

    Validating Psychometric Classification of Teachers' Fraction Arithmetic Reasoning
    (Springer, 2023-01-12) Ölmez, İbrahim Burak; Izsak, Andrew
    In prior work, we fit the mixture Rasch model to item responses from a fractions survey administered to a nationwide sample of middle grades mathematics teachers in the United States. The mixture Rasch model located teachers on a continuous, unidimensional scale and fit best with 3 latent classes. We used item response data to generate initial interpretations of the reasoning characteristic of each latent class. Our results suggested increasing facility reasoning about fraction arithmetic from one class to the next. The present study contributes two further arguments for the validity of our initial interpretations. First, we administered the same survey to a new sample of future middle grades mathematics teachers before and after 20 weeks of instruction on multiplication, division, and fractions, and we found that from pretest to posttest future teachers transitioned from one latent class to another in ways consistent with increased proficiency in fraction arithmetic. Second, we interviewed 8 of the future teachers before and after the instruction and found that future teachers' reasoning during interviews was largely consistent with our original interpretation of the 3 latent classes. These results provide further support for our original interpretation of the mixture Rasch analysis, demonstrate the utility of our approach for capturing growth and change in future teachers' reasoning during teacher education coursework, and contribute innovative applications of psychometric models for surveying teachers' reasoning at scale.

    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.
