    Academicians as Teachers: Nurturing Teaching Experience
    (2016) Tunç-Pekkan, Zelha; Taylan, Rukiye Didem; Birgili, Bengi; Aydın, Utkun; Özcan, Mustafa
    Four academicians volunteered to teach 5th grade mathematics for one year in a Turkish public school. Academicians met every week for 40 weeks where they discussed what to teach, how to teach and reflected on implementation of their shared planning. Videotapes of first six Regular Meetings and six weeks of Research Meetings were analyzed. The focus of qualitative analyses was on how the knowledge of teaching was constructed differently in those two settings. References evidencing academician teachers’ knowledge of students, instructional strategies and assessment were found to occur more frequently during the Research Meetings compared to Regular Meetings. Academicians discussed more frequently what questions to ask in the classroom and exchanged comments about students’ thinking with more evidence. Using learning theories and framing planning and reflection discussions with a focus on research appeared to be a productive way of nurturing teaching experiences of academicians as teachers.

    Impacts 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
    In 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.

    Mathematics Teacher Education With University Within School Model and Flipped Classroom Technique
    (2016) Tunç-Pekkan, Zelha
    Abstract : I taught ‘Introduction to Mathematics Teaching course’ using Flipped classroom. This was the first time I used flipped classroom to teach this course. The main objective of the course was to introduce the ‘mathematics teaching’ profession to first year students and to have pre-service teachers some teaching experience with children. For this course, we also adapted University within School model, where we valued the experience of being at our work places which is ‘schools.’ MEF University adopted this model for the whole Faculty of Education. Flipped classroom technique was adopted university wide. Therefore, this course is unique that it connects both University within school model and flipped classroom method. In Flipped classroom, it is essential to use videos. Throughout 14 weeks of instruction, we had four main sources of videos: 1) videos that I created related to reading the book called ‘Empowering Beginning Middle School Teachers’ 2) pre-service teachers’ own created videos (related to their teaching of 6th grade students) 3) videos that I took last year during my own teaching of 5th grade mathematics classroom 4) YouTube videos from a well known mathematics educator, Jo Boaler- Stanford University, about mathematics education. In the presentation, I will discuss how we used the videos, what the benefits and disadvantages of using them are. Using University within School model, each pre-service teacher was assigned to a pair of students that they taught parallel concepts to the school mathematics. They had 8-weeks of one-to-one teaching for 2 hours per week. Related to pre-service teachers’ interactions with 6th grade students, they had weekly reflection journals which they answered structured questions. In the presentation, I will discuss the details of their journals and the feedbacks they gave about their experiences related to the foundations of this course.

    Okulda Üniversite Modeli-temelli Öğretimin 5. Sınıf Öğrencilerinin Kesir Bilgisini Geliştirme Üzerine Etkisi
    (2016) Aydın, Utkun; Tunç-Pekkan, Zelha; Rukiye Didem, Taylan; Birgili, Bengi; Özcan, Mustafa
    Bu çalışmanın amacı, üniversite-okul işbirliği kapsamında uygulanan, öğretim üyelerinin öğretmenaraştırmacı olarak rol aldığı, Okulda Üniversite Modeli temelli öğretimin 5. sınıf öğrencilerinin kesir bilgisinin geliştirilmesi üzerine etkisini araştırmaktır. Bu amaçla ölçme aracı olarak araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen çoktan seçmeli Kesirler Testi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmaya 2014-2015 eğitim-öğretim yılında İstanbul ili, Sarıyer ilçesi’nde bulunan 2 devlet ortaokulunda öğrenim gören 220 beşinci sınıf öğrencisi (112 deney, 108 kontrol) katılmıştır. Yarı deneysel çalışmada yöntem olarak öntest-sontestkontrol gruplu desen kullanılmıştır. Grupların eşdeğer seviyede olup olmadığını belirlemek amacıyla Kesirler Testi öntest olarak deney ve kontrol gruplarına uygulanmış ve grupların istatistiksel olarak eşdeğer seviyede oldukları tespit edilmiştir. Daha sonra deney gruplarındaki öğrencilerin sınıflarında matematik dersleri Okulda Üniversite Modeli-temelli öğretim araştırmacılar tarafından gerçekleştirilirken kontrol gruplarında da geleneksel öğretim matematik öğretmenleri tarafından gerçekleştirilmiştir. Deneysel uygulamadan sonra, Kesirler Testi sontest olarak bütün gruplara uygulanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre, Okulda Üniversite Modeli-temelli öğretimin geleneksel öğretime göre beşinci sınıf öğrencilerinin kesir bilgilerine istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir etkisi vardır. Bu sonuç bağlamında üniversite-okul işbirliğinin matematik eğitimi ve öğretimine önemli katkı sağladığı önerilmektedir. Çalışmanın eğitimsel uygulamaları tartışılmıştır.

    Sixth-Grade Students’ Pattern Generalization Approaches
    (Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2023) Kama, Zeycan; Bostan, Mine Işıksal; Pekkan, Zelha Tunç
    This 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.

    Okulda Ünimodeli ile Okul Stajında Yaratılan Farklar: Matematik Öğretmenliği Örneği
    (2017) Engin, Aylin; Tunç-Pekkan, Zelha; Işık, Mehmet Ali; Esmer, Merve; Kıratlıoğlu, Serap; Sohtorik, Simge; Kılıç, Zeynep
    Okulda Üniversite modelinin 7 boyutu vardır. Daha önce birçok yerde akademesiyenlerin gelişimi, okul- üniversite işbirliğinin nasıl yapıldığına dair çalışmalar Ulusal ve uluslararası konferanslarda sunulmuştur. Okullarla sıkı işbirliği gerektiren bu modelin öğretmen eğitimi konusunda özellikle önerdiği işyerinde, yaparak yaşayarak yapılan eğitim konusunda bir paylaşım daha önce olmamıştır. Üniversitesi matematik öğretmenliği 3. Sınıf öğrencileri 2016-2017 yılında küçük bir grup olarak öğretmen yardımcılığı stajlarını MEF Okullarının ortaokul kısmında tamamlamışlardır. Türkiyedeki diğer staj programlarından farklı olarak 720 saat okulda deneyim kazanmışlardır. panelde, Öğretmen eğitiminin geleceği konusunda fikirler vermesi ve tartışma ortamı yaratması amaçlanmaktadır. Öğretim üyesi (üniversite), matematik öğretmenleri ve yöneticisi(okul) ve öğretmen adaylarının ortaklar olarak ne tür deneyim ve kazanımları olduğu paylaşılacaktır.
